Judges; Chapter 7 Verse 5-6
5 So Gideon took the men down to the water. There the Lord told him, “Separate those who lap the water with their tongues as a dog laps from those who kneel down to drink.” 6 Three hundred of them drank from cupped hands, lapping like dogs. All the rest got down on their knees to drink.
5 اس لئے جدعون لوگوں کو پانی کے پاس لے گیا۔ اس پانی کے پاس خداوند نے جدعون سے کہا ، “اس طرح لوگوں کو الگ کرو: جو آدمی کتے کی طرح لپ لپ کرکے پانی پئیں گے وہ ایک قطار میں ہو نگے جو پانی کے لئے جھکیں گے دوسری قطار میں ہو ں گے۔”
6 وہا ں۳۰۰ آدمی ایسے تھے جنہوں نے پانی منہ تک لا نے کے لئے اپنے ہا تھوں کا استعمال کیا اور اسے کتے کی طرح لپ لپ کرکے پیا۔ باقی لوگ گھٹنوں کے بل جھکے اور انہوں نے پانی پیا۔
My point of view about above verses
Lord became very angry with Israel and said as this nation has violated the covenant I made with their ancestors – I will no longer drive other nations out and will test Israel through them whether they follow the way of the Lord as their ancestors did
God gave Gideon the resposibility to save Israelites from Midianites, Amalekites and other eastern peoples
So God told Gideon not all men will go for war against Midian otherwise they will boast against me that their own strength saved them – so any one who tremble with fear may leave so 22,000 men left
God told Gideon that there are still more men so I will reduce them more for you – only those will go with u for war which I will tell you
God told Gideon took men down to water & those who drink water like dogs with their tongues will go with you – so only 300 men drink water like this rest drink while their keens down with cupped hand
When we returns to God, he plans for our rescue, and His plans are always better - just trust and obey and all will go well
May God give us wisdom to understand His Word and apply it in our lives to have a blissful life on earth
