1 # When thou goest out <03318> (8799) to battle <04421> against thine enemies <0341> (8802), and seest <07200> (8804) horses <05483>, and chariots <07393>, and a people <05971> more <07227> than thou, be not afraid <03372> (8799) of them: for the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> is with thee, which brought thee up <05927> (8688) out of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.
2 And it shall be, when ye are come nigh <07126> (8800) unto the battle <04421>, that the priest <03548> shall approach <05066> (8738) and speak <01696> (8765) unto the people <05971>,
3 And shall say <0559> (8804) unto them, Hear <08085> (8798), O Israel <03478>, ye approach <07131> this day <03117> unto battle <04421> against your enemies <0341> (8802): let not your hearts <03824> faint <07401> (8735) , fear <03372> (8799) not, and do not tremble <02648> (8799), neither be ye terrified <06206> (8799) because <06440> of them;
4 For the LORD <03068> your God <0430> is he that goeth <01980> (8802) with you, to fight <03898> (8736) for you against your enemies <0341> (8802), to save <03467> (8687) you.
5 And the officers <07860> (8802) shall speak <01696> (8765) unto the people <05971>, saying <0559> (8800), What man <0376> is there that hath built <01129> (8804) a new <02319> house <01004>, and hath not dedicated <02596> (8804) it? let him go <03212> (8799) and return <07725> (8799) to his house <01004>, lest he die <04191> (8799) in the battle <04421>, and another <0312> man <0376> dedicate <02596> (8799) it.
6 And what man <0376> is he that hath planted <05193> (8804) a vineyard <03754>, and hath not yet eaten <02490> (8765) of it? let him also go <03212> (8799) and return <07725> (8799) unto his house <01004>, lest he die <04191> (8799) in the battle <04421>, and another <0312> man <0376> eat <02490> (8762) of it.
7 And what man <0376> is there that hath betrothed <0781> (8765) a wife <0802>, and hath not taken <03947> (8804) her? let him go <03212> (8799) and return <07725> (8799) unto his house <01004>, lest he die <04191> (8799) in the battle <04421>, and another <0312> man <0376> take <03947> (8799) her.
8 And the officers <07860> (8802) shall speak <01696> (8763) further <03254> (8804) unto the people <05971>, and they shall say <0559> (8804), What man <0376> is there that is fearful <03373> and fainthearted <07390> <03824>? let him go <03212> (8799) and return <07725> (8799) unto his house <01004>, lest his brethren's <0251> heart <03824> faint <04549> (8735) as well as his heart <03824>.
9 And it shall be, when the officers <07860> (8802) have made an end <03615> (8763) of speaking <01696> (8763) unto the people <05971>, that they shall make <06485> (8804) captains <08269> of the armies <06635> to lead <07218> the people <05971>.
10 # When thou comest nigh <07126> (8799) unto a city <05892> to fight <03898> (8736) against it, then proclaim <07121> (8804) peace <07965> unto it.
11 And it shall be, if it make thee answer <06030> (8799) of peace <07965>, and open <06605> (8804) unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people <05971> that is found <04672> (8737) therein shall be tributaries <04522> unto thee, and they shall serve <05647> (8804) thee.
12 And if it will make no peace <07999> (8686) with thee, but will make <06213> (8804) war <04421> against thee, then thou shalt besiege <06696> (8804) it:
13 And when the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> hath delivered <05414> (8804) it into thine hands <03027>, thou shalt smite <05221> (8689) every male <02138> thereof with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>:
14 But the women <0802>, and the little ones <02945>, and the cattle <0929>, and all that is in the city <05892>, even all the spoil <07998> thereof, shalt thou take <0962> (8799) unto thyself; and thou shalt eat <0398> (8804) the spoil <07998> of thine enemies <0341> (8802), which the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> hath given <05414> (8804) thee.
15 Thus shalt thou do <06213> (8799) unto all the cities <05892> which are very <03966> far off <07350> from thee, which <02007> are not of the cities <05892> of these nations <01471>.
16 But of the cities <05892> of these people <05971>, which the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> doth give <05414> (8802) thee for an inheritance <05159>, thou shalt save alive <02421> (8762) nothing that breatheth <05397>:
17 But thou shalt utterly <02763> (8687) destroy <02763> (8686) them; namely, the Hittites <02850>, and the Amorites <0567>, the Canaanites <03669>, and the Perizzites <06522>, the Hivites <02340>, and the Jebusites <02983>; as the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> hath commanded <06680> (8765) thee:
18 That they teach <03925> (8762) you not to do <06213> (8800) after all their abominations <08441>, which they have done <06213> (8804) unto their gods <0430>; so should ye sin <02398> (8804) against the LORD <03068> your God <0430> .
19 When thou shalt besiege <06696> (8799) a city <05892> a long <07227> time <03117>, in making war <03898> (8736) against it to take <08610> (8800) it, thou shalt not destroy <07843> (8686) the trees <06086> thereof by forcing <05080> (8800) an axe <01631> against them: for thou mayest eat <0398> (8799) of them, and thou shalt not cut them down <03772> (8799) (for the tree <06086> of the field <07704> is man's <0120> life) to employ <0935> (8800) them in the siege <06440> <04692>:
20 Only the trees <06086> which thou knowest <03045> (8799) that they be not trees <06086> for meat <03978> , thou shalt destroy <07843> (8686) and cut them down <03772> (8804); and thou shalt build <01129> (8804) bulwarks <04692> against the city <05892> that maketh <06213> (8802) war <04421> with thee, until it be subdued <03381> (8800).
