V.1 When thou goest out 3318-4 to battle 4421 against thine enemies, 341-6 and seest 7200-1 horses, 5483 and chariots, 7393 [and] a people 5971 more 7227 than thou, be not afraid 3372-4 of them: for the LORD 3068 thy God 430 [is] with thee, which brought thee up 5927-56 out of the land 776 of Egypt. 4714

20:2 And it shall be, when ye are come nigh 7126-2 unto the battle, 4421 that the priest 3548 shall approach 5066-8 and speak 1696-14 unto the people, 5971

20:3 And shall say 559-1 unto them, Hear, 8085-3 O Israel, 3478 ye approach 7131 this day 3117 unto battle 4421 against your enemies: 341-6 let not your hearts 3824 faint, 7401-11 fear 3372-4 not, and do not tremble, 2648-4 neither be ye terrified 6206-4 because 6440 of them;

20:4 For the LORD 3068 your God 430 [is] he that goeth 1980-6 with you, to fight 3898-9 for you against your enemies, 341-6 to save 3467-53 you.

20:5 And the officers 7860-6 shall speak 1696-14 unto the people, 5971 saying, 559-2 What man 376 [is there] that hath built 1129-1 a new 2319 house, 1004 and hath not dedicated 2596-1 it? let him go 3212-4 and return 7725-4 to his house, 1004 lest he die 4191-4 in the battle, 4421 and another 312 man 376 dedicate 2596-4 it.

20:6 And what man 376 [is he] that hath planted 5193-1 a vineyard, 3754 and hath not [yet] eaten 2490-14 of it? let him [also] go 3212-4 and return 7725-4 unto his house, 1004 lest he die 4191-4 in the battle, 4421 and another 312 man 376 eat 2490-17 of it.

20:7 And what man 376 [is there] that hath betrothed 781-14 a wife, 802 and hath not taken 3947-1 her? let him go 3212-4 and return 7725-4 unto his house, 1004 lest he die 4191-4 in the battle, 4421 and another 312 man 376 take 3947-4 her.

20:8 And the officers 7860-6 shall speak 1696-15 further 3254-1 unto the people, 5971 and they shall say, 559-1 What man 376 [is there that is] fearful 3373 and fainthearted? 7390 3824 let him go 3212-4 and return 7725-4 unto his house, 1004 lest his brethren's 251 heart 3824 faint 4549-11 as well as his heart. 3824

20:9 And it shall be, when the officers 7860-6 have made an end 3615-15 of speaking 1696-15 unto the people, 5971 that they shall make 6485-1 captains 8269 of the armies 6635 to lead 7218 the people. 5971

20:10 When thou comest nigh 7126-4 unto a city 5892 to fight 3898-9 against it, then proclaim 7121-1 peace 7965 unto it.

20:11 And it shall be, if it make thee answer 6030-4 of peace, 7965 and open 6605-1 unto thee, then it shall be, [that] all the people 5971 [that is] found 4672-12 therein shall be tributaries 4522 unto thee, and they shall serve 5647-1 thee.

20:12 And if it will make no peace 7999-55 with thee, but will make 6213-1 war 4421 against thee, then thou shalt besiege 6696-1 it:

20:13 And when the LORD 3068 thy God 430 hath delivered 5414- 1 it into thine hands, 3027 thou shalt smite 5221-52 every male 2138 thereof with the edge 6310 of the sword: 2719

20:14 But the women, 802 and the little ones, 2945 and the cattle, 929 and all that is in the city, 5892 [even] all the spoil 7998 thereof, shalt thou take 962-4 unto thyself; and thou shalt eat 398-1 the spoil 7998 of thine enemies, 341-6 which the LORD 3068 thy God 430 hath given 5414-1 thee.

20:15 Thus shalt thou do 6213-4 unto all the cities 5892 [which are] very 3966 far off 7350 from thee, which 2007 [are] not of the cities 5892 of these nations. 1471

20:16 But of the cities 5892 of these people, 5971 which the LORD 3068 thy God 430 doth give 5414-6 thee [for] an inheritance, 5159 thou shalt save alive 2421-17 nothing that breatheth: 5397

20:17 But thou shalt utterly 2763-53 destroy 2763-55 them; [namely], the Hittites, 2850 and the Amorites, 567 the Canaanites, 3669 and the Perizzites, 6522 the Hivites, 2340 and the Jebusites; 2983 as the LORD 3068 thy God 430 hath commanded 6680-14 thee:

20:18 That they teach 3925-17 you not to do 6213-2 after all their abominations, 8441 which they have done 6213-1 unto their gods; 430 so should ye sin 2398-1 against the LORD 3068 your God. 430

20:19 When thou shalt besiege 6696-4 a city 5892 a long 7227 time, 3117 in making war 3898-9 against it to take 8610-2 it, thou shalt not destroy 7843-55 the trees 6086 thereof by forcing 5080-2 an axe 1631 against them: for thou mayest eat 398-4 of them, and thou shalt not cut them down 3772-4 (for the tree 6086 of the field 7704 [is] man's 120 [life]) to employ 935-2 6440 [them] in the siege: 4692
