How did God tell Gideon to select his soldiers?


He told Gideon to select the soldiers who lapped water like a dog.So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink. Judges 7:4-5And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go. So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink. Judges 7:4-5 https://phillipmedhurst.files.wordpress.com/2017/10/phillip-medhurst-presents-194_788-james-tissot-bible-c-1899-gideon-chooses-the-three-hundred-judges-7_6-jewish-museum-new-york.jpg?w=1400
