1 When thou goest out 3318 to battle 4421 against thine enemies 341, and seest 7200 horses 5483, and chariots 7393, and a people 5971 more 7227 than thou, be not afraid 3372 of them: for the LORD 3068 thy God 430 is with thee, which brought thee up 5927 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
2 And it shall be, when ye are come nigh 7126 unto the battle 4421, that the priest 3548 shall approach 5066 and speak 1696 unto the people 5971,
3 And shall say 559 unto them, Hear 8085, O Israel 3478, ye approach 7131 this day 3117 unto battle 4421 against your enemies 341: let not your hearts 3824 faint 7401, fear 3372 not, and do not tremble 2648, neither be ye terrified 6206 because 6440 of them;
4 For the LORD 3068 your God 430 is he that goeth 1980 with you, to fight 3898 for you against your enemies 341, to save 3467 you.
5 And the officers 7860 shall speak 1696 unto the people 5971, saying 559, What man 376 is there that hath built 1129 a new 2319 house 1004, and hath not dedicated 2596 it? let him go 3212 and return 7725 to his house 1004, lest he die 4191 in the battle 4421, and another 312 man 376 dedicate 2596 it.
6 And what man 376 is he that hath planted 5193 a vineyard 3754, and hath not yet eaten 2490 of it? let him also go 3212 and return 7725 unto his house 1004, lest he die 4191 in the battle 4421, and another 312 man 376 eat 2490 of it.
7 And what man 376 is there that hath betrothed 781 a wife 802, and hath not taken 3947 her? let him go 3212 and return 7725 unto his house 1004, lest he die 4191 in the battle 4421, and another 312 man 376 take 3947 her.
8 And the officers 7860 shall speak 1696 further 3254 unto the people 5971, and they shall say 559, What man 376 is there that is fearful 3373 and fainthearted 7390 3824? let him go 3212 and return 7725 unto his house 1004, lest his brethren's 251 heart 3824 faint 4549 as well as his heart 3824.
9 And it shall be, when the officers 7860 have made an end 3615 of speaking 1696 unto the people 5971, that they shall make 6485 captains 8269 of the armies 6635 to lead 7218 the people 5971.
10 When thou comest nigh 7126 unto a city 5892 to fight 3898 against it, then proclaim 7121 peace 7965 unto it.
11 And it shall be, if it make thee answer 6030 of peace 7965, and open 6605 unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people 5971 that is found 4672 therein shall be tributaries 4522 unto thee, and they shall serve 5647 thee.
12 And if it will make no peace 7999 with thee, but will make 6213 war 4421 against thee, then thou shalt besiege 6696 it:
13 And when the LORD 3068 thy God 430 hath delivered 5414 it into thine hands 3027, thou shalt smite 5221 every male 2138 thereof with the edge 6310 of the sword 2719:
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 unto thyself; and thou shalt eat 398 the spoil 7998 of thine enemies 341, which the LORD 3068 thy God 430 hath given 5414 thee.
15 Thus shalt thou do 6213 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.
16 But of the cities 5892 of these people 5971, which the LORD 3068 thy God 430 doth give 5414 thee for an inheritance 5159, thou shalt save alive 2421 nothing that breatheth 5397:
17 But thou shalt utterly 2763 destroy 2763 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 thee:
18 That they teach 3925 you not to do 6213 after all their abominations 8441, which they have done 6213 unto their gods 430; so should ye sin 2398 against the LORD 3068 your God 430.
19 When thou shalt besiege 6696 a city 5892 a long 7227 time 3117, in making war 3898 against it to take 8610 it, thou shalt not destroy 7843 the trees 6086 thereof by forcing 5080 an axe 1631 against them: for thou mayest eat 398 of them, and thou shalt not cut them down 3772 (for the tree 6086 of the field 7704 is man's 120 life) to employ 935 them in the siege 6440 4692:
20 Only the trees 6086 which thou knowest 3045 that they be not trees 6086 for meat 3978, thou shalt destroy 7843 and cut them down 3772; and thou shalt build 1129 bulwarks 4692 against the city 5892 that maketh 6213 war 4421 with thee, until it be subdued 3381.
