1 When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies and seest horses and chariots and a people more than thou, do not be afraid of them; for the Lord thy God is with thee, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
2 And it shall be, when ye are come near unto the battle that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people
3 and shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies; let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them,
4 for the Lord your God is he that goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
5 And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What man is there that has built a new house and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house lest peradventure he die in the battle and another man dedicate it.
