5 Moreover, the officers are to say to the troops, |Who among you has built a new house and not dedicated it? He may go home, lest he die in battle and someone else dedicate it. 6 Or who among you has planted a vineyard and not benefited from it? He may go home, lest he die in battle and someone else benefit from it. 7 Or who among you has become engaged to a woman but has not married her? He may go home, lest he die in battle and someone else marry her.| 8 In addition, the officers are to say to the troops, |Who among you is afraid and fainthearted? He may go home so that he will not make his fellow soldier's heart as fearful as his own.| Deuteronomy 20:5-8, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
