KJV
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.
BSB
Then the LORD said to Gideon, “There are still too many people. Take them down to the water, and I will sift them for you there. If I say to you, ‘This one shall go with you,’ he shall go. But if I say, ‘This one shall not go with you,’ he shall not go.”
