Judges 7:2 in Context — Judges 7

1 LEVANTÁNDOSE pues de mañana Jerobaal, el cual es Gedeón, y todo el pueblo que estaba con él, asentaron el campo junto á la fuente de Harod: y tenía el campo de los Madianitas al norte, de la otra parte del collado de More, en el valle.

2 Y Jehová dijo á Gedeón: El pueblo que está contigo es mucho para que yo dé á los Madianitas en su mano: porque no se alabe Israel contra mí, diciendo: Mi mano me ha salvado.

3 Haz pues ahora pregonar, que lo oiga el pueblo, diciendo: El que teme y se estremece, madrugue y vuélvase desde el monte de Galaad. Y volviéronse de los del pueblo veintidós mil: y quedaron diez mil.

4 Y Jehová dijo á Gedeón: Aun es mucho el pueblo; llévalos á las aguas, y allí yo te los probaré; y del que yo te dijere: Vaya este contigo, vaya contigo: mas de cualquiera que yo te dijere: Este no vaya contigo, el tal no vaya.
