DEU 20:1–20:20 ©

The Book of Deuteronomy 20

20When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses and chariots, a people more numerous than you, you shall not be afraid of them; for Yahweh your God is with you, who raised you up from the land of Egypt. 2And it will be, as you draw near to the battle, then the priest shall approach and speak to the people. 3And he shall say to them, ‘Listen, Israel, you are approaching today to battle against your enemies. You shall not soften your hearts. You shall not fear or panic or be terrified of them, 4for Yahweh your God goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’

5And the officers shall speak to the people, saying, ‘Who is the man that has built a new house and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in battle and another man dedicates it. 6And who is the man that has planted a vineyard and has not put it into use? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in battle and another man puts it to use. 7And who is the man that is engaged to a woman and has not taken her? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in battle and another man takes her.’

8And the officers shall continue to speak to the people and say, ‘Who is the man who fears and is soft of heart? Let him go and return to his house, and the heart of his brother will not melt like his heart.’ 9And it will be, as the officers finish speaking to the people, then they shall appoint leaders of the armies as heads of the people.

10When you draw near to a city to fight against it, then you shall call to it for peace. 11And it will be, if it answers, ‘Peace,’ and opens to you, then it will be, all the people found in it shall become for you as forced labor and serve you. 12And if it does not make peace with you and makes war with you, then you shall siege upon it, 13and Yahweh your God will give it into your hand, and you shall strike every foreigner by the mouth of the sword. 14But the women and the children and the cattle and everything that is in the city, all its spoil, you shall plunder for yourself, and you shall consume the spoil of your enemies, whom Yahweh your God has given to you. 15Thus you shall do to all the cities very far from you, which are not from the cities of these nations here.

16Only from the cities of these peoples that Yahweh your God is giving to you as an inheritance, all breathing things shall not live. 17But, you shall indeed destroy them: the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, as Yahweh your God has commanded you 18so that they do not teach you to do like any of their abominations that they do for their gods, for you will sin against Yahweh your God.

19When you lay siege to a city many days, battling against it to capture it, you shall not destroy its trees by wielding an ax against it. For you shall eat from them, and you shall not cut them down. For is the tree of the field a man coming before your face to besiege? 20But a tree that you know that is not a tree for food, you shall destroy it and cut down; and you shall build siege works against the city which it makes war with you, until it falls.
