The LORD said to Gideon, “You have too many troops for me to hand the Midianites over to them, or else Israel might elevate themselves over me and say,  ‘I saved myself.’

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.”

Now announce to the troops, ‘Whoever is fearful and trembling may turn back and leave Mount Gilead.’ ”  So twenty-two thousand of the troops turned back, but ten thousand remained.

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.”

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.” 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.
