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.
6 And who has planted a vineyard and has not yet eaten of it? Let him also go and return unto his house lest peradventure he die in the battle and another man eat of it.
7 And what man is there that has betrothed a wife and has not taken her? Let him go and return unto his house lest peradventure he die in the battle and another man take her.
8 And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and a coward at heart? Let him go and return unto his house that he not cause his brethren’s hearts to become as his heart.
9 And it shall be when the officers have finished speaking unto the people that the captains of the armies shall lead before the people.
10 When thou comest near to a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it.
