*
But the LORD said to Gideon , "
The people are still too many ;
bring them down to the water ,
and I will test them for you there .
Then it will be ,
that of whom I say to you , "
This one shall go with you ,'
the same shall go with you ;
and of whomever I say to you , "
This one shall not go with you ,'
the same shall not go ."
*
So he brought the people down to the water .
And the LORD said to Gideon , "
Everyone who laps from the water with his tongue ,
as a dog laps ,
you shall set apart by himself ;
likewise everyone who gets down on his knees to drink ."
*
And the number of those who lapped ,
putting their hand to their mouth ,
was three hundred men ;
but all the rest of the people got down on their knees to drink water .
*
Then the LORD said to Gideon , "
By the three hundred men who lapped I will save you ,
and deliver the Midianites into your hand .
Let all the other people go ,
every man to his place ."
