Deuteronomy 20:1-8 When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses and chariots and people more than thou, be not afeared of them, for the LORD thy God is with thee which brought thee out of the land of Egypt.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses and chariots and people more than thou, be not afeared of them, for the LORD thy God is with thee which brought thee out of the land of Egypt. ² And when ye are come nigh unto battle, let the priest come forth and speak unto the people, ³ and say unto them, 'Hear Israel, ye are come unto battle against your enemies, let not your hearts faint, neither fear nor be amazed nor a dread of them. ⁴ For the LORD thy God goeth with you to fight for you against your enemies and to save you.' ⁵ 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. ⁶ 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. ⁷ 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.' ⁸ 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.'
