Chapter 20 When thou goest out to battle
against thine enemies, and seest horses,

00:07.040 --> 00:10.940
and chariots, and a people more than thou,
be not afraid of them.

00:11.280 --> 00:15.640
For the Lord thy God is with thee,
which brought thee up out of the land of

00:15.640 --> 00:15.980
Egypt.

00:16.380 --> 00:21.540
And it shall be, when ye are come nigh
unto the battle, that the priest shall

00:21.540 --> 00:25.660
approach and speak unto the people,
and shall say unto them, Hear,

00:25.980 --> 00:30.240
O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle
against your enemies.

00:30.860 --> 00:35.400
Let not your hearts faint, fear not,
and do not tremble, neither be ye

00:35.400 --> 00:36.800
terrified because of them.

00:37.200 --> 00:41.680
For the Lord your God is He that goeth
with you, to fight for you against your

00:41.680 --> 00:43.180
enemies, to save you.

00:44.160 --> 00:49.120
And the officers shall speak unto the
people, saying, What man is there that

00:49.120 --> 00:52.080
hath built a new house, and hath not
dedicated it?

00:52.500 --> 00:57.300
Let him go and return to his house,
lest he die in the battle, and another man

00:57.300 --> 00:58.000
dedicate it.

00:58.540 --> 01:02.940
And what man is he that hath planted a
vineyard, and hath not yet eaten of it?

01:03.180 --> 01:08.080
Let him also go and return unto his house,
lest he die in the battle, and another man

01:08.080 --> 01:08.680
eat of it.

01:09.060 --> 01:13.660
And what man is there that hath betrothed
a wife, and hath not taken her?

01:14.180 --> 01:18.740
Let him go and return unto his house,
lest he die in the battle, and another man

01:18.740 --> 01:19.180
take her.

01:19.840 --> 01:23.320
And the officers shall speak further unto
the people, and they shall say,

01:24.040 --> 01:26.560
What man is there that is fearful and
fainthearted?

01:27.220 --> 01:31.900
Let him go and return unto his house,
lest his brethren's heart faint as well as

01:31.900 --> 01:32.380
his heart.

01:32.980 --> 01:37.580
And it shall be, when the officers have
made an end of speaking unto the people,

01:38.060 --> 01:41.040
that they shall make captains of the
armies, to lead the people.

01:41.900 --> 01:46.840
When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight
against it, then proclaim peace unto it.

01:47.560 --> 01:52.940
And it shall be, if it make the answer of
peace and open unto thee, then it shall be

01:52.940 --> 01:56.860
that all the people that is found therein
shall be tributaries unto thee,

01:57.240 --> 01:58.420
and they shall serve thee.

01:58.860 --> 02:03.160
And if it will make no peace with thee,
but will make war against thee,

02:03.680 --> 02:05.240
then thou shalt besiege it.

02:05.840 --> 02:10.580
And when the Lord thy God hath delivered
it into thine hands, thou shalt smite

02:10.580 --> 02:13.360
every male thereof with the edge of the
sword.

02:14.060 --> 02:17.920
But the women, and the little ones,
and the cattle, and all that is in the

02:17.920 --> 02:22.480
city, even all the spoil thereof,
shalt thou take unto thyself, and thou

02:22.480 --> 02:26.400
shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies,
which the Lord thy God hath given thee.

02:27.160 --> 02:31.520
Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities
which are very far off from thee,

02:31.700 --> 02:35.700
which are not of the cities of these
nations, but of the cities of these

02:35.700 --> 02:40.220
people, which the Lord thy God doth give
thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save

02:40.220 --> 02:42.160
alive nothing that breatheth.

02:42.780 --> 02:47.780
But thou shalt utterly destroy them,
namely the Hittites, and the Amorites,

02:48.080 --> 02:52.700
the Canaanites, and the Perizzites,
the Hivites, and the Jebusites,

02:53.200 --> 02:57.640
as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee,
that they teach you not to do after all

02:57.640 --> 03:02.280
their abominations which they have done
unto their gods, so should ye sin against

03:02.280 --> 03:03.200
the Lord your God.

03:04.460 --> 03:09.560
And thou shalt besiege a city a long time,
in making war against it to take it,

03:09.840 --> 03:13.880
thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof
by forcing an axe against them,

03:14.380 --> 03:18.620
for thou mayest eat of them, and thou
shalt not cut them down, for the tree of

03:18.620 --> 03:22.200
the field is man's life, to employ them in
the siege.

03:23.060 --> 03:27.600
Only the trees which thou knowest that
they be not trees for meat, thou shalt

03:27.600 --> 03:29.360
destroy and cut them down.

03:29.740 --> 03:34.020
And thou shalt build bulwarks against the
city that maketh war with thee,

03:34.440 --> 03:35.680
until it be subdued.
