Deuteronomy 20:11 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 "When you go out to battle against your enemies, and you see horses, chariots, and many more people than you have, you must not be afraid of them. The Lord your God is with you—and he brought you out of Egypt.
2 "When you go to the battle, the priest must go to the soldiers and speak to them.
3 The priest will say, 'Men of Israel, listen to me! Today you are going against your enemies in battle. Don't lose your courage. Don't be troubled or upset. Don't be afraid of the enemy.
4 The Lord your God is going with you to help you fight against your enemies. He will help you win!'
5 "The Levite officials will say to the soldiers, 'Is there any man here who has built a new house but has not yet dedicated it? That man should go back home. He might be killed in the battle, and then another person will dedicate that man's house.
6 Is there any man here who has planted a vineyard but has not yet gathered any of the grapes? That man should go back home. If that man dies in the battle, someone else will enjoy the fruit from his field.
7 Is there any man here who is engaged to be married? That man should go back home. If he dies in the battle, another man will marry the woman he is engaged to.'
8 "These Levite officials must also say to the people, 'Is there any man here who has lost his courage and is afraid? He should go back home. Then he will not cause the other soldiers to lose their courage too.'
9 Then, after the officers have finished speaking to the army, they must choose captains to lead the soldiers.
10 "When you go to attack a city, you must first offer peace to the people there.
11 If they accept your offer and open their gates, all the people in that city will become your slaves and be forced to work for you.
12 But if the city refuses to make peace with you and fights against you, you should surround the city.
13 And when the Lord your God lets you take the city, you must kill all the men in it.
14 But you may take for yourselves the women, the children, the cattle, and everything else in the city. You may use all these things. The Lord your God has given these things to you.
15 That is what you must do to all the cities that are very far from you—the cities that are not in the land where you will live.
16 "But when you take cities in the land that the Lord your God is giving you, you must kill everyone.
17 You must completely destroy all the people—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. The Lord your God has commanded you to do this.
18 So then they will not be able teach you to sin against the Lord your God or to do any of the terrible things they do when they worship their gods.
19 "When you are making war against a city, you might surround that city for a long time. You must not cut down the fruit trees around that city. You may eat the fruit from these trees, but you must not cut them down. These trees are not the enemy, so don't make war against them.
20 But you may cut down the trees that you know are not fruit trees. You may use these trees to build weapons for making war against that city. You may use them until the city falls.

6 And what H4310 W-IGAT man H376 D-NMS is he that H834 RPRO hath planted H5193 a vineyard H3754 , and hath not H3808 W-NPAR yet eaten H2490 of it ? let him also go H1980 and return H7725 unto his house H1004 L-CMS-3MS , lest H6435 CONJ he die H4191 VQY3MS in the battle H4421 , and another H312 AMS man H376 D-NMS eat H2490 of it .
7 And what H4310 W-IGAT man H376 D-NMS is there that H834 RPRO hath betrothed H781 a wife H802 NFS , and hath not H3808 W-NPAR taken H3947 her ? let him go H1980 and return H7725 unto his house H1004 L-CMS-3MS , lest H6435 CONJ he die H4191 VQY3MS in the battle H4421 , and another H312 AMS man H376 D-NMS take H3947 her .
8 And the officers H7860 shall speak H1696 further H3254 unto H413 PREP the people H5971 , and they shall say H559 W-VQQ3MP , What H4310 IPRO man H376 D-NMS is there that is fearful H3373 and fainthearted H7390 ? let him go H1980 and return H7725 unto his house H1004 L-CMS-3MS , lest H3808 W-NPAR his brethren H251 NMP-3MS \'s heart H3824 faint H4549 as well as his heart H3824 .
9 And it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS , when the officers H7860 have made an end H3615 of speaking H1696 unto H413 PREP the people H5971 , that they shall make H6485 captains H8269 CMP of the armies H6635 to lead H7218 B-NMS the people H5971 D-NMS .
10 When H3588 CONJ thou comest nigh H7126 unto H413 PREP a city H5892 GFS to fight H3898 against H5921 PREP-3FS it , then proclaim H7121 peace H7965 unto H413 PREP it .
11 And it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS , if H518 PART it make thee answer H6030 of peace H7965 NMS , and open H6605 unto thee , then it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS , that all H3605 NMS the people H5971 that is found H4672 therein shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS tributaries H4522 unto thee , and they shall serve H5647 thee .
12 And if H518 W-PART it will make no peace H7999 with H5973 PREP-2FS thee , but will make H6213 war H4421 NFS against H5973 PREP-2MS thee , then thou shalt besiege H6696 it :
13 And when the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS hath delivered H5414 it into thine hands H3027 B-CFS-2MS , thou shalt smite H5221 every H3605 NMS male H2138 thereof with the edge H6310 L-CMS of the sword H2719 GFS :
14 But H7535 ADV the women H802 D-NFP , and the little ones H2945 , and the cattle H929 WD-NFS , and all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO is H1961 VQY3MS in the city H5892 BD-NFS , even all H3605 NMS the spoil H7998 thereof , shalt thou take H962 unto thyself ; and thou shalt eat H398 the spoil H7998 of thine enemies H341 VQPMP-2MS , which H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS hath given H5414 VQQ3MS thee .
