Judges 7:4-6

Lexham English Bible

⁴ And Yahweh said to Gideon, “There are still too many troops; bring them down to the water, and I will sift through them^[a] for you there. For whomever I say to you, ‘This one will go with you,’ he will go with you; and for all whom I say to you, ‘This one will not go with you,’ he will not go.” ⁵ So he brought down the troops to the water, and Yahweh said to Gideon, “You must separate everyone who laps up the water to drink with his tongue like a dog from those who kneel.”^{[b] 6} The number of those lapping up the water with their hand to their mouth was three hundred men; all the rest of the troops kneeled to drink the water.
