This is Ein Harod. In the bible Gideon was called by the Lord to lead the Israel to battle against the Philistines. He had 32,000 men, and the Lord said that was way too many. He wanted many few to make sure everyone knew the Lord delivered them from the massive uncountable number of philistines. So the Lord sent Gideon to this place of water and told Gideon that only those who hand-dipped they water for a drink, not those who lapped the water like a dog, would go to battle. Well, only 300 cupped it up, the rest lapped, and so the 300 went to battle and defeated the philistines as they started battling themselves.
