Deuteronomy 20:2
World English Bible (WEB)
It shall be, when you draw near to the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people,
In context
1 When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses, chariots, and a people more numerous than you, you shall not be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, is with you.
2 It shall be, when you draw near to the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people,
3 and shall tell them, “Hear, Israel, you draw near today to battle against your enemies. Don’t let your heart faint! Don’t be afraid, nor tremble, neither be scared of them;
4 for the LORD your God is he who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.”
