2 Then the LORD {YHWH} said to Gideon (hewer), “You have too many men for Me to deliver Midian (strife) into their hands, lest Israel (he wrestles with God) glorify themselves over Me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me.’ 3 Now, therefore, proclaim in the hearing of the men: ‘Whoever is fearful and trembling may turn back and leave Mount Gilead (rocky region).’” So twenty-two thousand of them turned back, but ten thousand remained.
