Deuteronomy 20:1-9

1WhenH3588 you go outH3318 to warH4421 againstH5921 your enemiesH341 and seeH7200 horsesH5483, chariotsH7393, and an armyH5971 largerH7227 than yoursH4480, do notH3808 be afraidH3372 of them; forH3588 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, who brought youH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, is with youH5973. 2When you are about toH1961 goH7126 intoH413 battleH4421, the priestH3548 is to come forwardH5066 and addressH1696H413 the armyH5971, 3sayingH559 to themH413, “HearH8085, O IsraelH3478, todayH3117 youH859 are goingH7131 into battleH4421 withH5921 your enemiesH341. Do notH408 be faintheartedH7401H3824 or afraidH3372; do notH408 be alarmedH2648H408 or terrifiedH6206 because of themH6440. 4ForH3588 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 goesH1980 with youH5973 to fightH3898 for you againstH5973 your enemiesH341, to give you the victoryH3467.”

5Furthermore, the officersH7860H413 are to addressH1696 the armyH5971, sayingH559, “Has anyH4310 manH376 builtH1129 a newH2319 houseH1004 and notH3808 dedicated itH2596? Let him returnH1980H7725 homeH1004, orH6435 he may dieH4191 in battleH4421 and anotherH312 manH376 dedicate itH2596. 6Has anyH4310 manH376 plantedH5193 a vineyardH3754 and notH3808 begun to enjoy its fruitH2490? Let him returnH1980H7725 homeH1004, orH6435 he may dieH4191 in battleH4421 and anotherH312 manH376 enjoy its fruitH2490. 7Has anyH4310 manH376 become pledgedH781 to a womanH802 and notH3808 married herH3947? Let him returnH1980H7725 homeH1004, orH6435 he may dieH4191 in battleH4421 and anotherH312 manH376 marry herH3947.”

8Then the officersH7860 shall speakH1696 furtherH3254 toH413 the armyH5971, sayingH559, “Is anyH4310 manH376 afraidH3373 or faintheartedH7390H3824? Let him returnH1980H7725 homeH1004, so that the heartsH3824 of his brothersH251 will notH3808 meltH4549 like his ownH3824.”

When the officersH7860 have finishedH3615 addressingH1696H413 the armyH5971, they are to appointH6485 commandersH6635H8269 to lead itH7218H5971.
