Judges 7:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ So Gideon led the men down to the water. There the Lord said to him, “Separate them into those who drink water by lapping it up like a dog [^Cwith cupped hand making a bowl] and those who ·bend down [kneel] to drink [^Cwith faces in the water].” ⁶ There were three hundred men who used their hands to bring water to their mouths, ·lapping it as a dog does [^Llapping]. All the rest ·got down on their knees [kneeled] to drink.

⁷ Then the Lord said to Gideon, “Using the three hundred men who lapped the water, I will save you and ·hand Midian over to you [^Lgive the Midianites into your hand]. Let all the others go home.”
