1 When H3588 thou goest out H3318 to battle H4421 against H5921 thine enemies, H341 and seest H7200 horses, H5483 and chariots, H7393 and a people H5971 more H7227 than H4480 thou , be not afraid H3372 H3808 of H4480 them: for H3588 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 is with H5973 thee , which brought thee up H5927 out of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt. H4714
2 And it shall be, H1961 when ye are come nigh H7126 unto H413 the battle, H4421 that the priest H3548 shall approach H5066 and speak H1696 unto H413 the people, H5971
3 And shall say H559 unto H413 them, Hear, H8085 O Israel, H3478 ye H859 approach H7131 this day H3117 unto battle H4421 against H5921 your enemies: H341 let not H408 your hearts H3824 faint, H7401 fear H3372 not, H408 and do not H408 tremble, H2648 neither H408 be ye terrified H6206 because of H4480 H6440 them;
4 For H3588 the LORD H3068 your God H430 is he that goeth H1980 with H5973 you , to fight H3898 for you against H5973 your enemies, H341 to save H3467 you.
5 And the officers H7860 shall speak H1696 unto H413 the people, H5971 saying, H559 What H4310 man H376 is there that H834 hath built H1129 a new H2319 house, H1004 and hath not H3808 dedicated H2596 it? let him go H1980 and return H7725 to his house, H1004 lest H6435 he die H4191 in the battle, H4421 and another H312 man H376 dedicate H2596 it.
6 And what H4310 man H376 is he that H834 hath planted H5193 a vineyard, H3754 and hath not H3808 yet eaten H2490 of it? let him also go H1980 and return H7725 unto his house, H1004 lest H6435 he die H4191 in the battle, H4421 and another H312 man H376 eat H2490 of it.
7 And what H4310 man H376 is there that H834 hath betrothed H781 a wife, H802 and hath not H3808 taken H3947 her? let him go H1980 and return H7725 unto his house, H1004 lest H6435 he die H4191 in the battle, H4421 and another H312 man H376 take H3947 her.
8 And the officers H7860 shall speak H1696 further H3254 unto H413 the people, H5971 and they shall say, H559 What H4310 man H376 is there that is fearful H3373 and fainthearted H7390 H3824 ? let him go H1980 and return H7725 unto his house, H1004 lest H3808 H853 his brethren's H251 heart H3824 faint H4549 as well as his heart. H3824
9 And it shall be, H1961 when the officers H7860 have made an end H3615 of speaking H1696 unto H413 the people, H5971 that they shall make H6485 captains H8269 of the armies H6635 to lead H7218 the people. H5971
10 When H3588 thou comest nigh H7126 unto H413 a city H5892 to fight H3898 against H5921 it , then proclaim H7121 peace H7965 unto H413 it.
11 And it shall be, H1961 if H518 it make thee answer H6030 of peace, H7965 and open H6605 unto thee , then it shall be, H1961 that all H3605 the people H5971 that is found H4672 therein shall be H1961 tributaries H4522 unto thee , and they shall serve H5647 thee.
12 And if H518 it will make no peace H7999 H3808 with H5973 thee , but will make H6213 war H4421 against H5973 thee , then thou shalt besiege H6696 H5921 it:
13 And when the LORD H3068 thy God H430 hath delivered H5414 it into thine hands, H3027 thou shalt smite H5221 H853 every H3605 male H2138 thereof with the edge H6310 of the sword: H2719
14 But H7535 the women, H802 and the little ones, H2945 and the cattle, H929 and all H3605 that H834 is H1961 in the city, H5892 even all H3605 the spoil H7998 thereof , shalt thou take H962 unto thyself ; and thou shalt eat H398 H853 the spoil H7998 of thine enemies, H341 which H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 hath given H5414 thee.
15 Thus H3651 shalt thou do H6213 unto all H3605 the cities H5892 which are very H3966 far off H7350 from H4480 thee, which H834 are not H3808 of the cities H4480 H5892 of these H428 nations. H1471
16 But H7535 of the cities H4480 H5892 of these H428 people, H5971 which H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 doth give H5414 thee for an inheritance, H5159 thou shalt save alive H2421 nothing H3808 H3605 that breatheth: H5397
17 But H3588 thou shalt utterly destroy H2763 H2763 them; namely , the Hittites, H2850 and the Amorites, H567 the Canaanites, H3669 and the Perizzites, H6522 the Hivites, H2340 and the Jebusites; H2983 as H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 hath commanded H6680 thee:
18 That H4616 H834 they teach H3925 you not H3808 to do H6213 after all H3605 their abominations, H8441 which H834 they have done H6213 unto their gods; H430 so should ye sin H2398 against the LORD H3068 your God. H430
19 When H3588 thou shalt besiege H6696 H413 a city H5892 a long H7227 time, H3117 in making war H3898 against H5921 it to take H8610 it , thou shalt not H3808 destroy the trees H6086 thereof by forcing H5080 an axe H1631 against H5921 them: for H3588 thou mayest eat H398 of H4480 them , and thou shalt not H3808 cut them down H3772 H853 ( for H3588 the tree H6086 of the field H7704 is man's H120 life ) to employ H935 H4480 H6440 them in the siege: H4692
20 Only H7535 the trees H6086 which H834 thou knowest H3045 that H3588 they H1931 be not H3808 trees H6086 for meat, H3978 thou shalt destroy H7843 and cut them down; H3772 and thou shalt build H1129 bulwarks H4692 against H5921 the city H5892 that H834 H1931 maketh H6213 war H4421 with H5973 thee, until H5704 it be subdued.
