1 Then Jerubbal (who is Gideon) rose up early, and all the people that were with him, and pitched beside the well of Harod, so that the host of the Midianites was on the north side of them in the valley by the hill of Moreh. 2 And the Lord said unto Gideon: The people that are with thee, are to many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, least Israel make their vaunt against me, and say: mine own hand hath saved me. 3 Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, and say: Who is timorous and fearful? Let him return, and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people 22000. & so 10000. remained. 4 And the Lord said unto Gideon: The people are yet too many: Bring them unto the water, and I will try them for thee there. For of whom I say unto thee: This man shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee: and of whomsoever I say unto thee: This man shall not go with thee, the same shall not go. 5 So he brought the people to the water. And the Lord said unto Gideon, As many as lap the water with their tongue, as a dog lappeth them put by themselves: & every one that shall bow down his knees to drink, put a part. 6 And the number of them that lapped by putting their hands to their mouth were 300. men: but all the rest of the people knelled down upon their knees to drink water. 7 And the Lord said unto Gideon, By these 300. men that lapped, will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man to his place. 8 So the people took victuals in their hands, and their trumpets, and he sent all the rest of the Israelites every man unto his tent, and retained the 300. men. And the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley.

Let him returne, and departe early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people 22000. & so 10000. remayned. 4 And the Lord sayd vnto Gideon: The people are yet too many: Bring them vnto the water, and I will try them for thee there. For of whom I say vnto thee: This man shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee: and of whomsoeuer I say vnto thee: This man shall not go with thee, the same shall not go. 5 So he brought the people to the water. And the Lorde sayd vnto Gideō, As many as lappe the water with theyr tongue, as a dogge lappeth them put by themselues: & euery one that shall bowe down hys knees to drinke, put a part. 6 And the number of them that lapped by putting their handes to their mouth were 300. mē: but all the rest of ye people kneled downe vpon their knees to drinke water. 7 And the Lord sayd vnto Gideon, By these 300. men that lapped, will I saue you, and delyuer the Madianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go euery man to his place. 8 So the people tooke vitayles in theyr handes, and theyr trompettes, and he sent all the rest of the Israelites euery man vnto hys tente, and retayned the 300. men. And the host of Madian was beneath him in the valley.
