Deuteronomy 20:6

4 for the Lord your God is He who goes with you, ^ato fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’

5 “Then the officers shall speak to the people, saying: ‘What man is there who has built a new house and has not ^adedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man dedicate it.

6 Also what man is there who has planted a vineyard and has not eaten of it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man eat of it.

7 ^aAnd what man is there who is betrothed to a woman and has not married her? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man marry her.’

8 “The officers shall speak further to the people, and say, ^a‘What man is there who is fearful and fainthearted? Let him go and return to his house,¹ lest the heart of his brethren faint like his heart.’
