Holman Christian Standard Bible
Then the LORD said to Gideon, “ There are still too many people. Take them down to the water, and I will test them for you there. If I say to you, ‘ This one can go with you ,’ he can go. But if I say about anyone, ‘ This one cannot go with you ,’ he cannot go.”

New American Standard Bible
Then the LORD said to Gideon, "The people are still too many; bring them down to the water and I will test them for you there. Therefore it shall be that he of whom I say to you, 'This one shall go with you,' he shall go with you; but everyone of whom I say to you, 'This one shall not go with you,' he shall not go."

King James Bible
And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people [are] yet [too] many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, [that] of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go. International Standard Version
"There are still too many soldiers," the LORD told Gideon. "Bring them down to the water and I'll refine them for you there. Therefore when I say to you, 'This one will be going with you,' he'll go with you, but no one may go about whom I tell you, 'This one won't be going with you.'"

American Standard Version
And Jehovah said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.

Young's Literal Translation
And Jehovah saith unto Gideon, 'Yet are the people too many; bring them down unto the water, and I refine it for thee there; and it hath been, he of whom I say unto thee, This doth go with thee -- he doth go with thee; and any of whom I say unto thee, This doth not go with thee -- he doth not go.'Judges 7:4 • Judges 7:4 NIV • Judges 7:4 NLT • Judges 7:4 ESV • Judges 7:4 NASB • Judges 7:4 KJV • Judges 7:4 Commentaries • Judges 7:4 Bible Apps • Judges 7:4 Biblia Paralela • Judges 7:4 Chinese Bible • Judges 7:4 French Bible • Judges 7:4 German Bible
