[1]When thou goest outH3318[H8799] to battleH4421 against thine enemiesH341[H8802], and seestH7200[H8804] horsesH5483, and chariotsH7393, and a peopleH5971 moreH7227 than thou, be not afraidH3372[H8799] of them: for the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 is with thee, which brought thee upH5927[H8688] out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
[2]And it shall be, when ye are come nighH7126[H8800] unto the battleH4421, that the priestH3548 shall approachH5066[H8738] and speakH1696[H8765] unto the peopleH5971,
[3]And shall sayH559[H8804] unto them, HearH8085[H8798], O IsraelH3478, ye approachH7131 this dayH3117 unto battleH4421 against your enemiesH341[H8802]: let not your heartsH3824 faintH7401[H8735], fearH3372[H8799] not, and do not trembleH2648[H8799], neither be ye terrifiedH6206[H8799] because of themH6440;
[4]For the LORDH3068 your GodH430 is he that goethH1980[H8802] with you, to fightH3898[H8736] for you against your enemiesH341[H8802], to saveH3467 youH8687.
[5]And the officersH7860[H8802] shall speakH1696[H8765] unto the peopleH5971, sayingH559[H8800], What manH376 is there that hath builtH1129[H8804] a newH2319 houseH1004, and hath not dedicatedH2596[H8804] it? let him goH3212[H8799] and returnH7725[H8799] to his houseH1004, lest he dieH4191[H8799] in the battleH4421, and anotherH312 manH376 dedicateH2596 itH8799.
[6]And what manH376 is he that hath plantedH5193[H8804] a vineyardH3754, and hath not yet eatenH2490[H8765] of it? let him also goH3212[H8799] and returnH7725[H8799] unto his houseH1004, lest he dieH4191[H8799] in the battleH4421, and anotherH312 manH376 eatH2490 of itH8762.
[7]And what manH376 is there that hath betrothedH781[H8765] a wifeH802, and hath not takenH3947[H8804] her? let him goH3212[H8799] and returnH7725[H8799] unto his houseH1004, lest he dieH4191[H8799] in the battleH4421, and anotherH312 manH376 takeH3947 herH8799.
[8]And the officersH7860[H8802] shall speakH1696[H8763] furtherH3254[H8804] unto the peopleH5971, and they shall sayH559[H8804], What manH376 is there that is fearfulH3373 and faintheartedH7390[H3824]? let him goH3212[H8799] and returnH7725[H8799] unto his houseH1004, lest his brethren'sH251 heartH3824 faintH4549[H8735] as well as his heartH3824.
[9]And it shall be, when the officersH7860[H8802] have made an endH3615[H8763] of speakingH1696[H8763] unto the peopleH5971, that they shall makeH6485[H8804] captainsH8269 of the armiesH6635 to leadH7218 the peopleH5971.
[10]When thou comest nighH7126[H8799] unto a cityH5892 to fightH3898[H8736] against it, then proclaimH7121[H8804] peace unto itH7965.
[11]And it shall be, if it make thee answerH6030[H8799] of peaceH7965, and openH6605[H8804] unto thee, then it shall be, that all the peopleH5971 that is foundH4672[H8737] therein shall be tributariesH4522 unto thee, and they shall serveH5647 theeH8804.
[12]And if it will make no peaceH7999[H8686] with thee, but will makeH6213[H8804] warH4421 against thee, then thou shalt besiegeH6696 itH8804:
[13]And when the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath deliveredH5414[H8804] it into thine handsH3027, thou shalt smiteH5221[H8689] every maleH2138 thereof with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719:
[14]But the womenH802, and the little onesH2945, and the cattleH929, and all that is in the cityH5892, even all the spoilH7998 thereof, shalt thou takeH962[H8799] unto thyself; and thou shalt eatH398[H8804] the spoilH7998 of thine enemiesH341[H8802], which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath givenH5414 theeH8804.
[15]Thus shalt thou doH6213[H8799] unto all the citiesH5892 which are veryH3966 far offH7350 from thee, whichH2007 are not of the citiesH5892 of these nationsH1471.
[16]But of the citiesH5892 of these peopleH5971, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 doth giveH5414[H8802] thee for an inheritanceH5159, thou shalt save aliveH2421[H8762] nothing that breathethH5397:
[17]But thou shalt utterlyH2763[H8687] destroyH2763[H8686] them; namely, the HittitesH2850, and the AmoritesH567, the CanaanitesH3669, and the PerizzitesH6522, the HivitesH2340, and the JebusitesH2983; as the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath commandedH6680 theeH8765:
[18]That they teachH3925[H8762] you not to doH6213[H8800] after all their abominationsH8441, which they have doneH6213[H8804] unto their godsH430; so should ye sinH2398[H8804] against the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
[19]When thou shalt besiegeH6696[H8799] a cityH5892 a longH7227 timeH3117, in making warH3898[H8736] against it to takeH8610[H8800] it, thou shalt not destroyH7843[H8686] the treesH6086 thereof by forcingH5080[H8800] an axeH1631 against them: for thou mayest eatH398[H8799] of them, and thou shalt not cut them downH3772[H8799] (for the treeH6086 of the fieldH7704 is man'sH120 life) to employH935[H8800] them in the siegeH6440:[H4692]
[20]Only the treesH6086 which thou knowestH3045[H8799] that they be not treesH6086 for meatH3978, thou shalt destroyH7843[H8686] and cut them downH3772[H8804]; and thou shalt buildH1129[H8804] bulwarksH4692 against the cityH5892 that makethH6213[H8802] warH4421 with thee, until it be subduedH3381.[H8800]
