Judges 7:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ The number of those who lapped—those who put their hands to their mouths^[a]—was three hundred men, while all the rest of the people knelt down to drink water.

⁷ The Lord said to Gideon, “With the three hundred men who lapped, I will deliver you, and I will give Midian into your hand. As for all the other people, let each man go back to his place.”

⁸ The men who had been chosen took provisions in hand, along with their ram’s horns, but Gideon sent every other Israelite man back to his own tent. He kept only the three hundred men. The camp of Midian lay below him in the valley.
