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. Apparently, some bible translations are mixing up the verses where God tells Gideon to take the men with him that lapped up the water, and are instead saying those that drank from their hands: Small excerpt: Dozens of you vigorously protested my interpretation of Judges, 7:5-7, the passage about how Gideon reduces the size of his army. At God’s orders, Gideon takes his men to the water and has them drink. I wrote: “Gideon sends home any soldier that picks up water with his hands. He keeps only the soldiers who lap up water with their tongues, like dogs. That leaves him with just 300 men.” According to many of you, I’m dead wrong: You say Gideon actually sent home the men who lapped like dogs and kept the 300 men who picked up water with their hands.... God confirms these are the 300 men to take with him, and send the rest home: Judges 7:7 And the Lord said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place.
