Gideon's Army Reduced

SHOPHETIM - JUDGES 7:1 Then Yerubbaal {yer-oob-bah'-al' let Baal contend} who is Gid'own, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites {mid-yawn' strife}  were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
SHOPHETIM - JUDGES 7:2 And YHWH said to Gid'own, The people that are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest YisraYah vaunt {paw-ar' beautify, adorn} themselves against ME, saying, my own hand has saved me.
*Sure sign to ferry out those that are not YisraYah
SHOPHETIM - JUDGES 7:3 Now therefore go proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid {khaw-rade' trembling}  let him return and depart early from mount Gilead.  And there returned from the people twenty two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
SHOPHETIM - JUDGES 7:4 And YHWH said to Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down to the water {tsaw-raf'  to smelt, refine, test, purge away}  and I will try them for you there: and it shall be, that of whom I say to you, This shall go with you, the same shall go with you; and of whomsoever I say to you, This shall not go with you, the same shall not go.
SHOPHETIM - JUDGES 7:5 So he brought down the people to the water: and YHWH said to Gideon, Every one that laps of the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, him shall you set by himself; likewise every one that bows down upon his knees to drink.
SHOPHETIM - JUDGES 7:6 And the number of them that lapped {law-kak'}  putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.
SHOPHETIM - JUDGES 7:7 And YHWH said to Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand: and let all the other people go every man to his place.

*If one is not ready to deal with the enemies of YisraYah restoration and victory, it’s better for that individual to go home, lest he bring fear, doubt and unbelief, to those who have heard YHWH’s call in this final hour.
