Deuteronomy 20:4-6

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴ because the Lord your God is going with you to do battle for you against your enemies, to save you.”

⁵ The officers also are to speak to the people and say, “Whoever has built a new house but has not dedicated it, let him go and return to his house so that he does not die in the battle and another man dedicates it.

⁶ “Whoever has planted a vineyard but has not yet removed it from sacred status,^[a] let him go and return to his house so that he does not die in the battle and another man is the first to eat from it.
