5The officersH7860 also shall speakH1696 to the peopleH5971, sayingH559, ‘WhoH4310 is the manH376 that has builtH1129 a newH2319 houseH1004 and has not 1dedicatedH2596 it? Let him departH1980 and returnH7725 to his houseH1004, otherwiseH6435 he might dieH4191 in the battleH4421 and anotherH312 manH376 would dedicateH2596 it. 6WhoH4310 is the manH376 that has plantedH5193 a vineyardH3754 and has not 2begunH2490 to useH2490 its fruitH2490? Let him departH1980 and returnH7725 to his houseH1004, otherwiseH6435 he might dieH4191 in the battleH4421 and anotherH312 manH376 3would beginH2490 to useH2490 its fruitH2490. 74And whoH4310 is the manH376 that is engagedH781 to a womanH802 and has not 5marriedH3947 her? Let him departH1980 and returnH7725 to his houseH1004, otherwiseH6435 he might dieH4191 in the battleH4421 and anotherH312 manH376 6would marryH3947 her.’ 8Then the officersH7860 shall speakH1696 furtherH3254 to the peopleH5971 and sayH559, ‘7WhoH4310 is the manH376 that is afraidH3372 and faintheartedH7401H3824? Let him departH1980 and returnH7725 to his houseH1004, so that 8he might not make his brothers’H251 heartsH3824 meltH4549 like his heartH3824.’ 9When the officersH7860 have finishedH3615 speakingH1696 to the peopleH5971, they shall appointH6485 commandersH8269 of armiesH6635 at the headH7218 of the peopleH5971.
