AMPLIFIED 2015 | Judges 7:5 So he brought the people down to the water, and the LORD said to Gideon, "You shall separate everyone who laps the water with his tongue as a dog laps, as well as everyone who kneels down to drink." |
Subject: A certain way to drink-why? |
Bible Note: John I believe that I may have contributed to your confusion in misunderstanding what I had written, by using the term 'lapped', which was used in Scripture to describe both the 9700 soldiers (Judges 7:5) and the 300 soldiers (Judge 7:6). It would have been better had I termed it as 9,700 soldiers who 'laps the water with his tongue like a dog' were the complacent ones. While, the 300 who drank by 'putting their hand to their mouth' were the more committed and vigilant soldiers. Sorry to confuse you. Brian |
