Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man [d]marry her.’ Then the officers shall speak further to the people and say, ‘(B)Who is the man that is afraid and whose heart is faint? Let him go and return to his house, so that [e]he might not make his brothers’ hearts melt like his heart.’
