(Occurrence 0) What man is there who is fearful or fainthearted? Let him go and return to his house

(Some words not found in UHB: and,continue the,officers to,speak to/towards the,people and,say who? the=man the,afraid and,faint_of the,heart go and,return to,house,his and=not melt DOM heart brothers,his like,heart,his )
