Gideon asks God once again - Are you 'sure' I'm your guy?

If so (for proof) - let me put out this bit of fleece - and if there is dew on it in the morning - and no wetness on the ground I'll believe it's to be.

Judges 6:36 And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said,

37 Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.
 Quoting: b4its2l8


And God graciously provided the sign Gideon ask for - Twice:

First:

Judges 6:38 And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.

and a second time - for more proof - God reversed it:

Judges 6:40 And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
 Quoting: b4its2l8


After this miraculous display - Gideon is all ears; ready to save Israel by his 'own' hands.

In this regard - God wants him to take as few people as possible into battle against the midianites, lest they think that sheer numbers defeated them.
 Quoting: b4its2l8


Judges 7:2 And the Lord said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.

----

God told Gideon to send home any that were afraid - and the rest he said - test them by bringing them to the water.

Those that lapped it like a dog - were the ones he was to take with him.
