Yahweh 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 tell you, This shall go with you, the same shall go with you; and of whoever I tell you, This shall not go with you, the same shall not go.

And 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.

Then Yahweh said to Gideon, “Still the people many. Bring them down to the water, and I will refine it for you there. And it will be, whom I say to you, ‘This shall go with you,’ he shall go with you, but all whom I say to you, ‘This one shall not go with you,’ he shall not go.”
