Deuteronomy 20:1 (NASB) New American Standard Bible

1 "When you go out to war against your enemies and you see horses and chariots and an army greater than your own, do not be afraid of them, for the LORD, your God, who brought you up from the land of Egypt, will be with you.
2 "When you are about to go into battle, the priest shall come forward and say to the soldiers:
3 'Hear, O Israel! Today you are going into battle against your enemies. Be not weakhearted or afraid; be neither alarmed nor frightened by them.
4 For it is the LORD, your God, who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies and give you victory.'
5 "Then the officials shall say to the soldiers, 'Is there anyone who has built a new house and not yet had the housewarming? Let him return home, lest he die in battle and another dedicate it.
6 Is there anyone who has planted a vineyard and never yet enjoyed its fruits? Let him return home, lest he die in battle and another enjoy its fruits in his stead.
7 Is there anyone who has betrothed a woman and not yet taken her as his wife? Let him return home, lest he die in battle and another take her to wife.'
8 In fine, the officials shall say to the soldiers, 'Is there anyone who is afraid and weakhearted? Let him return home, lest he make his fellows as fainthearted as himself.'
9 "When the officials have finished speaking to the soldiers, military officers shall be appointed over the army.
10 "When you march up to attack a city, first offer it terms of peace.
11 If it agrees to your terms of peace and opens its gates to you, all the people to be found in it shall serve you in forced labor.
12 But if it refuses to make peace with you and instead offers you battle, lay siege to it,
13 and when the LORD, your God, delivers it into your hand, put every male in it to the sword;
14 but the women and children and livestock and all else in it that is worth plundering you may take as your booty, and you may use this plunder of your enemies which the LORD, your God, has given you.
15 "That is how you shall deal with any city at a considerable distance from you, which does not belong to the peoples of this land.
16 But in the cities of those nations which the LORD, your God, is giving you as your heritage, you shall not leave a single soul alive.
17 You must doom them all-- the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites-- as the LORD, your God, has commanded you,
18 lest they teach you to make any such abominable offerings as they make to their gods, and you thus sin against the LORD, your God.
19 "When you are at war with a city and have to lay siege to it for a long time before you capture it, you shall not destroy its trees by putting an ax to them. You may eat their fruit, but you must not cut down the trees. After all, are the trees of the field men, that they should be included in your siege?
20 However, those trees which you know are not fruit trees you may destroy, cutting them down to build siegeworks with which to reduce the city that is resisting you.

7 And what H4310 W-IGAT man H376 D-NMS is there that H834 RPRO hath betrothed H781 a wife H802 NFS , and hath not H3808 W-NPAR taken H3947 her ? let him go H1980 and return H7725 unto his house H1004 L-CMS-3MS , lest H6435 CONJ he die H4191 VQY3MS in the battle H4421 , and another H312 AMS man H376 D-NMS take H3947 her .
8 And the officers H7860 shall speak H1696 further H3254 unto H413 PREP the people H5971 , and they shall say H559 W-VQQ3MP , What H4310 IPRO man H376 D-NMS is there that is fearful H3373 and fainthearted H7390 ? let him go H1980 and return H7725 unto his house H1004 L-CMS-3MS , lest H3808 W-NPAR his brethren H251 NMP-3MS \'s heart H3824 faint H4549 as well as his heart H3824 .
9 And it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS , when the officers H7860 have made an end H3615 of speaking H1696 unto H413 PREP the people H5971 , that they shall make H6485 captains H8269 CMP of the armies H6635 to lead H7218 B-NMS the people H5971 D-NMS .
10 When H3588 CONJ thou comest nigh H7126 unto H413 PREP a city H5892 GFS to fight H3898 against H5921 PREP-3FS it , then proclaim H7121 peace H7965 unto H413 PREP it .
11 And it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS , if H518 PART it make thee answer H6030 of peace H7965 NMS , and open H6605 unto thee , then it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS , that all H3605 NMS the people H5971 that is found H4672 therein shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS tributaries H4522 unto thee , and they shall serve H5647 thee .
12 And if H518 W-PART it will make no peace H7999 with H5973 PREP-2FS thee , but will make H6213 war H4421 NFS against H5973 PREP-2MS thee , then thou shalt besiege H6696 it :
13 And when the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS hath delivered H5414 it into thine hands H3027 B-CFS-2MS , thou shalt smite H5221 every H3605 NMS male H2138 thereof with the edge H6310 L-CMS of the sword H2719 GFS :
14 But H7535 ADV the women H802 D-NFP , and the little ones H2945 , and the cattle H929 WD-NFS , and all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO is H1961 VQY3MS in the city H5892 BD-NFS , even all H3605 NMS the spoil H7998 thereof , shalt thou take H962 unto thyself ; and thou shalt eat H398 the spoil H7998 of thine enemies H341 VQPMP-2MS , which H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS hath given H5414 VQQ3MS thee .

20 Only H7535 ADV the trees H6086 NMS which H834 RPRO thou knowest H3045 that H3588 CONJ they H1931 PPRO-3MS be not H3808 NADV trees H6086 NMS for meat H3978 , thou shalt destroy H7843 and cut them down H3772 ; and thou shalt build H1129 W-VQQ2MS bulwarks H4692 against H5921 PREP the city H5892 D-GFS that RPRO maketh H6213 war H4421 NFS with H5973 PREP-2MS thee , until H5704 PREP it be subdued H3381 .
