6 Ceux qui lapèrent l’eau en la portant à la bouche avec leur main furent au nombre de trois cents hommes, et tout le reste du peuple se mit à genoux pour boire.

7 Et l’Éternel dit à Gédéon: C’est par les trois cents hommes qui ont lapé, que je vous sauverai et que je livrerai Madian entre tes mains. Que tout le reste du peuple s’en aille chacun chez soi.

8 On prit les vivres du peuple et ses trompettes. Puis Gédéon renvoya tous les hommes d’Israël chacun dans sa tente, et il retint les trois cents hommes. Le camp de Madian était au-dessous de lui dans la vallée.

9 L’Éternel dit à Gédéon pendant la nuit: Lève-toi, descends au camp, car je l’ai livré entre tes mains.

10 Si tu crains de descendre, descends-y avec Pura, ton serviteur.
