2
Before you engage in battle, the priest shall come forward and speak to the troops,
3
and shall say to them: "Hear, O Israel! Today you are drawing near to do battle against your enemies. Do not lose heart, or be afraid, or panic, or be in dread of them;
4
for it is the Lord your God who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to give you victory."
