Deuteronomy 20:2-4

Complete Jewish Bible

² When you are about to go into battle, the cohen is to come forward and address the people. ³ He should tell them, ‘Listen, Isra’el! You are about to do battle against your enemies. Don’t be fainthearted or afraid; don’t be alarmed or frightened by them; ⁴ because Adonai your God is going with you to fight on your behalf against your enemies and give you victory.’
