When thou goest forth{H3318} to battle{H4421} against thine enemies,{H341} and seest{H7200} horses,{H5483} and chariots,{H7393} [and] a people{H5971} more{H7227} than thou, thou shalt not be afraid{H3372} of them; for Jehovah{H3068} thy God{H430} is with thee, who brought thee up{H5927} out of the land{H776} of Egypt.{H4714}

And it shall be, when ye draw nigh{H7126} unto the battle,{H4421} that the priest{H3548} shall approach{H5066} and speak{H1696} unto the people,{H5971}

and shall say{H559} unto them, Hear,{H8085} O Israel,{H3478} ye draw nigh{H7131} this day{H3117} unto battle{H4421} against your enemies:{H341} let not your heart{H3824} faint;{H7401} fear{H3372} not, nor tremble,{H2648} neither be ye affrighted{H6206} at them;{H6440}

for Jehovah{H3068} your God{H430} is he that goeth{H1980} with you, to fight{H3898} for you against your enemies,{H341} to save{H3467} you.

And the officers{H7860} shall speak{H1696} unto the people,{H5971} saying,{H559} What man{H376} is there that hath built{H1129} a new{H2319} house,{H1004} and hath not dedicated{H2596} it? let him go{H3212} and return{H7725} to his house,{H1004} lest he die{H4191} in the battle,{H4421} and another{H312} man{H376} dedicate{H2596} it.

And what man{H376} is there that hath planted{H5193} a vineyard,{H3754} and hath not used{H2490} the fruit thereof? let him go{H3212} and return{H7725} unto his house,{H1004} lest he die{H4191} in the battle,{H4421} and another{H312} man{H376} use{H2490} the fruit thereof.

And what man{H376} is there that hath betrothed{H781} a wife,{H802} and hath not taken{H3947} her? let him go{H3212} and return{H7725} unto his house,{H1004} lest he die{H4191} in the battle,{H4421} and another{H312} man{H376} take{H3947} her.

And the officers{H7860} shall speak{H1696} further{H3254} unto the people,{H5971} and they shall say,{H559} What man{H376} is there that is fearful{H3373} and faint-hearted?{H7390} let him go{H3212} and return{H7725} unto his house,{H1004} lest his brethren's{H251} heart{H3824} melt{H4549} as his heart.{H3824}

And it shall be, when the officers{H7860} have made an end{H3615} of speaking{H1696} unto the people,{H5971} that they shall appoint{H6485} captains{H8269} of hosts{H6635} at the head{H7218} of the people.{H5971}

When thou drawest nigh{H7126} unto a city{H5892} to fight{H3898} against it, then proclaim{H7121} peace{H7965} unto it.

And it shall be, if it make thee answer{H6030} of peace,{H7965} and open{H6605} unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people{H5971} that are found{H4672} therein shall become tributary{H4522} unto thee, and shall serve{H5647} thee.

And if it will make no peace{H7999} with thee, but will make{H6213} war{H4421} against thee, then thou shalt besiege{H6696} it:

and when Jehovah{H3068} thy God{H430} delivereth{H5414} it into thy hand,{H3027} thou shalt smite{H5221} every male{H2138} thereof with the edge{H6310} of the sword:{H2719}

but the women,{H802} and the little ones,{H2945} and the cattle,{H929} and all that is in the city,{H5892} even all the spoil{H7998} thereof, shalt thou take{H962} for a prey unto thyself; and thou shalt eat{H398} the spoil{H7998} of thine enemies,{H341} which Jehovah{H3068} thy God{H430} hath given{H5414} thee.

Thus shalt thou do{H6213} unto all the cities{H5892} which are very{H3966} far off{H7350} from thee, which{H2007} are not of the cities{H5892} of these nations.{H1471}

But of the cities{H5892} of these peoples,{H5971} that Jehovah{H3068} thy God{H430} giveth{H5414} thee for an inheritance,{H5159} thou shalt save alive{H2421} nothing that breatheth;{H5397}

but thou shalt utterly{H2763} destroy{H2763} them: the Hittite,{H2850} and the Amorite,{H567} the Canaanite,{H3669} and the Perizzite,{H6522} the Hivite,{H2340} and the Jebusite;{H2983} as Jehovah{H3068} thy God{H430} hath commanded{H6680} thee;

that they teach{H3925} you not to do{H6213} after all their abominations,{H8441} which they have done{H6213} unto their gods;{H430} so would ye sin{H2398} against Jehovah{H3068} your God.{H430}

When thou shalt besiege{H6696} a city{H5892} a long{H7227} time,{H3117} in making war{H3898} against it to take{H8610} it, thou shalt not destroy{H7843} the trees{H6086} thereof by wielding{H5080} an axe{H1631} against them; for thou mayest eat{H398} of them, and thou shalt not cut them down;{H3772} for is the tree{H6086} of the field{H7704} man,{H120} that it should{H935} be besieged{H6440} of thee?

Only the trees{H6086} of which thou knowest{H3045} that they are not trees{H6086} for food,{H3978} thou shalt destroy{H7843} and cut them down;{H3772} and thou shalt build{H1129} bulwarks{H4692} against the city{H5892} that maketh{H6213} war{H4421} with thee, until it fall.{H3381}
