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.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76660895 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. Then Gideon discovers what God meant when he said - I will deliver the Midianites into your hands. The methods God used were unusual, but nevertheless, victory was guaranteed: God used the confusion in the ranks of the Midianite army to set the Midians against themselves. It is written: Judges 7:22 When they blew the 300 trumpets, the Lord set every man's sword against his comrade and against all the army. And the army fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah,[a] as far as the border of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath.
