Deuteronomy 20:1-8

1When thou goest forthH3318 to battleH4421 againstH5921 thine enemiesH341, and seest horsesH5483, and chariotsH7393, and a peopleH5971 moreH4480 thanH4480 thou, thou shalt notH3808 be afraidH3372 of them: for the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 is with thee, which broughtH3318 thee upH5927 outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.

2And it shall be, when ye drawH7126 nigh unto the battleH4421, that the priestH3548 shall approachH7126 and speakH1696 unto the peopleH5971,

3and shall sayH559 unto them, HearH8085, O IsraelH3478, ye draw nigh this dayH3117 unto battleH4421 againstH5921 your enemiesH341: letH408 notH408 your heartH3824 faintH7401; fearH3372 notH408, norH408 trembleH6206, neitherH408 be ye affrighted at them;

4for the LORDH3068 your GodH430 is he that goeth with youH3588, to fightH3898 for youH3588 againstH5973 your enemiesH341, to saveH3467 youH3588.

5And the officersH7860 shall speakH1696 unto the peopleH5971, sayingH559, WhatH834 manH376 is there that hath builtH1129 a newH2319 houseH1004, and hath notH3808 dedicatedH2596 it? letH3808 him goH7725 and returnH7725 to his houseH1004, lestH6435 he dieH4191 in the battleH4421, and anotherH312 manH376 dedicateH2596 it.

6And whatH834 manH376 is there that hath plantedH5193 a vineyardH3754, and hath notH3808 used the fruit thereof? letH3808 him goH7725 and returnH7725 unto his houseH1004, lestH6435 he dieH4191 in the battleH4421, and anotherH312 manH376 use the fruit thereof.

7And whatH834 manH376 is there that hath betrothedH781 a wifeH802, and hath notH3808 takenH3947 herH3947? letH3808 him goH7725 and returnH7725 unto his houseH1004, lestH6435 he dieH4191 in the battleH4421, and anotherH312 manH376 takeH3947 herH3947.

8And the officersH7860 shall speakH1696 furtherH3254 unto the peopleH5971, and they shall sayH559, WhatH4310 manH376 is there that is fearful and fainthearted? letH3808 him goH7725 and returnH7725 unto his houseH1004, lest his brethren’s heartH3824 meltH4549 as his heartH3824.
