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 7:4And 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
