Deuteronomy 20:1-9
1When thou goest forthH3318 to battleH4421 against thine enemiesH341, and seest horsesH5483, and chariotsH7393, and a peopleH5971 moreH4480 than thou, thou shalt not be afraidH3372 of them; for Jehovah thy GodH430 is with thee, who broughtH3318 thee up out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 2And it shall beH1961, when ye drawH7126 nigh unto the battleH4421, that the priestH3548 shall approach and speakH1696 unto the peopleH5971, 3and shall sayH559 unto them, HearH8085, O IsraelH3478, ye draw nigh this dayH3117 unto battleH4421 against your enemiesH341: let not your heartH3824 faint; fearH3372 not, nor tremble, neither be ye affrighted at them; 4for Jehovah your GodH430 is he that goeth with you, to fightH3898 for you against your enemiesH341, to saveH3467 you. 5And the officersH7860 shall speakH1696 unto the peopleH5971, sayingH559, What manH376 is there that hath builtH1129 a newH2319 houseH1004, and hath not dedicated it? let him goH7725 and returnH7725 to his houseH1004, lestH6435 he dieH4191 in the battleH4421, and another manH376 dedicate it. 6And what manH376 is there that hath plantedH5193 a vineyardH3754, and hath not used the fruit thereof? let him goH7725 and returnH7725 unto his houseH1004, lestH6435 he dieH4191 in the battleH4421, and another manH376 use the fruit thereof. 7And what manH376 is there that hath betrothedH781 a wifeH802, and hath not takenH3947 her? let him goH7725 and returnH7725 unto his houseH1004, lestH6435 he dieH4191 in the battleH4421, and another manH376 takeH3947 her. 8And the officersH7860 shall speakH1696 further unto the peopleH5971, and they shall sayH559, What manH376 is there that is fearful and faint-hearted? let him goH7725 and returnH7725 unto his houseH1004, lest his brethren’s heartH3824 meltH4549 as his heartH3824. 9And it shall beH1961, when the officers have made an endH3615 of speakingH1696 unto the peopleH5971, that they shall appointH6485 captains of hostsH6635 at the headH7218 of the peopleH5971.
