“And the number of them that lapped, 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.”
The number of those that lapped was three hundred; but all the rest of the troops knelt down to drink water. — The lappers number only 300—reducing Gideon's force from 10,000 to a tiny fraction. The dramatic reduction from initial 32,000 to final 300 emphasizes the principle that victory depends on divine power rather than human military capacity.
