耶和华对基甸说：“人还是过多。你要带他们下到水旁，我好在那里为你试试他们。我指点谁说：‘这人可以同你去。’他就可以同你去；我指点谁说：‘这人不可同你去。’他就不可同你去。”

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.

And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the LORD shall choose;

你当在耶和华所选择要立为他名的居所，从牛群羊群中，将逾越节的祭牲献给耶和华你的　神。

Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto the LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to place his name there.
