We referenced the following Biblical passages: Judges 7. Hey-O Kids Curriculum’s primary goal with the Stories of the Bible animation is to tell the stories from God’s word accurately and in a way that is engaging to children of all ages.This is Gideon who was a judge of Israel. In the time when Gideon lived, the Israelites were being over taken by a group called the Midianites. The Midianites were so cruel that the Israelites hid from them and were starving because the Midianites were taking all their food and ruining the land. So the Israelites called out to God and ask Him to help. God chose Gideon to rescue the Israelites from the Midianites and gave him the power to lead an army of Israelites. One day Gideon and his army got up early and came close to the Midianite camp. God told Gideon that he had too many warriors with him. God said, “If I let all of you fight the Midianites, the Israelites will boast to me that they saved themselves by their own strength.” So God told Gideon to let all the men who were scared go home. So 22,000 men went home and Gideon was left with only 10,000. But God told Gideon that he still had too many men with him. He told Gideon to bring the men down to the water and that God would give them a test. Gideon did as God asked and then God said, “Divide the men in two groups. In one group put all those who cup water in their hands and lap it up with their tongues like dogs. In the other group put those who kneel down and drink with their mouths in the stream.” Only 300 of the men drank from their hands. God told Gideon, “With these 300 men I will rescue you and give you victory over the Midianites. Send all the others home.”...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/hGnNL3zkBUkrNKTldT1u9x9aFoqeOLcwXiTodU4ZaCY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iYzBj/YWI1OTg5OTg2MTUw/ZWYzZDc1ZjVjYjgw/MzZmNS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
