Symbols and Similitudes: Lapping Water
Source: Nav
Judges 7:4–8
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.” / So Gideon brought the people down to the water, and the LORD said to him, “Separate those who lap the water with their tongues like a dog from those who kneel to drink.” / And the number of those who lapped the water with their hands to their mouths was three hundred men; all the others knelt to drink.
