Y el Señor dijo a Gedeón: El pueblo que está contigo es demasiado numeroso para que yo entregue a Madián en sus manos; no sea que Israel se vuelva orgulloso, diciendo: "Mi propia fortaleza me ha librado."
Y Jehov� dijo � Gede�n: El pueblo que est� contigo es mucho para que yo d� � los Madianitas en su mano: porque no se alabe Israel contra m�, diciendo: Mi mano me ha salvado.
Y el SE�OR dijo a Gede�n: El pueblo que est� contigo es mucho para que yo d� a los madianitas en su mano; para que no se alabe Israel contra m�, diciendo: Mi mano me ha salvado.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the Lord said unto Gideon, the people that are with thee are too many,.... It appears, by what follows, that there were 32,000 of them, which was but a small army to engage with one of 100,000 more than they; for such was the army of the Midianites and their associates, see Judges 8:10 but the people were too many, says the Lord,
for me to give the Midianites into their hands; who would be apt to ascribe the victory to themselves, and not to the Lord; to their number, strength, and valour, and not to the hand of the Lord:
lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, mine own hand hath saved me; or glory over me, take the glory from me, and ascribe it to themselves, boasting that by their power and prowess they had obtained the victory.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Judges 7:2. The people that are with thee are too many — Had he led up a numerous host against his enemies, the excellence of the power by which they were discomfited might have appeared to be of man and not of God. By the manner in which this whole transaction was conducted, both the Israelites and Midianites must see that the thing was of God. This would inspire the Israelites with confidence, and the Midianites with fear.
