For the LORD thy God goeth with you to fight for you against your
enemies and to save you. And let the officers speak unto the
people saying: If any man have built a new house and have not
dedicate it, let him go and return to his house lest he die in the
battle, and another dedicate it. And if any man have planted a
vineyard and have not made it common, let him go and return again
unto his house, lest he die in the battle and another make it
common. And if any man be betrothed unto a wife and have not taken
her, let him go and return again unto his house, lest he die in
the battle and another take her. And let the officers speak
further unto the people and say. If any man fear and be
fainthearted, let him go and return unto his house, lest his
brother's heart be made faint as well as his. And when the
officers have made an end of speaking unto the people, let them
make captains of war over them. When thou comest nye unto a city
to fight against it, offer them peace. And if they answer thee
again peaceably, and open unto thee, then let all the people that
is found therein be tributaries unto thee and serve thee. But and
if they will make no peace with thee, then make war against the
city and besiege it.
