Judges 7:4-6
New American Standard Bible
4 (A)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 [a]in one group, and everyone who kneels down to drink in another.” 6 Now the number of those who lapped, [b]putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people kneeled down to drink water.
