Judges 7:4-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 7
4
Then 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. So it shall be that he of whom I say to you, ‘This one shall go with you,’ he shall go with you; but everyone of whom I say to you, ‘This one shall not go with you,’ he shall not go.'
5
So he brought the people down to the water. Then the
Lord
said to Gideon, 'You shall put everyone who laps the water with his tongue as a dog laps in one group, and everyone who kneels down to drink
in another.
'
6
Now the number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people kneeled down to drink water.
7
And the
Lord
said to Gideon, 'I will save you with the three hundred men who lapped, and will hand the Midianites over to you; so have all the
other
people go, each man to his home.'
King James Version
Chapter 7
4
And the
Lord
said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.
5
So he brought down the people unto the water: and the
Lord
said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.
6
And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.
7
And the
Lord
said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 7
4
Then the
Lord
said to Gideon, "There are still too many troops. Take them down to the water, and I will test them for you there. If I say to you, ‘This one can go with you,’ he can go. But if I say about anyone, ‘This one cannot go with you,’ he cannot go."
5
So he brought the troops down to the water, and the
Lord
said to Gideon, "Separate everyone who laps water with his tongue like a dog. Do the same with everyone who kneels to drink."
6
The number of those who lapped with their hands to their mouths was three hundred men, and all the rest of the troops knelt to drink water.
7
The
Lord
said to Gideon, "I will deliver you with the three hundred men who lapped and hand the Midianites over to you. But everyone else is to go home."
New Living Translation
Chapter 7
4
But the
Lord
told Gideon, 'There are still too many! Bring them down to the spring, and I will test them to determine who will go with you and who will not.'
5
When Gideon took his warriors down to the water, the
Lord
told him, 'Divide the men into two groups. In one group put all those who cup water in their hands and lap it up with their tongues like dogs. In the other group put all those who kneel down and drink with their mouths in the stream.'
6
Only 300 of the men drank from their hands. All the others got down on their knees and drank with their mouths in the stream.
7
The
Lord
told Gideon, 'With these 300 men I will rescue you and give you victory over the Midianites. Send all the others home.'

4
But the
Lord
said to Gideon, "There are still too many men. Take them down to the water, and I will thin them out for you there. If I say, ‘This one shall go with you,’ he shall go; but if I say, ‘This one shall not go with you,’ he shall not go."
5
So Gideon took the men down to the water. There the
Lord
told him, "Separate those who lap the water with their tongues as a dog laps from those who kneel down to drink."
6
Three hundred of them drank from cupped hands, lapping like dogs. All the rest got down on their knees to drink.

Lord

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.”
5
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.”
6
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.
