IAUA said to Gideon: 'The people that are with you are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hand, unless Israel vaunt themselves against Me, saying: mine own hand has saved me.

IAUA said to Gideon: 'The people are yet too many; bring them down to the water, and I will try them for you there; and it shall be, that of whom I say to you: This shall go with you, the same shall go with you; and of whomsoever I say to you: This shall not go with you, the same shall not go.'

So he brought down the people to the water; and IAUA said to Gideon: 'Everyone that laps of the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, him shall you set by himself; likewise every one that bows down on his knees to drink.'

When Gideon was come, behold, there was a man telling a dream to his follow, and saying: 'Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came to the tent, and smote it that it fell, and turned it upside down, that the tent lay flat.'
