Devarim/Deuteronomy 19:14-20:9
| 14) You shall not move your neighbor’s landmark, which they of old have set, in your inheritance which you shall inherit in the land that the Lord your God gives you to possess. |
י״ד לֹא־תַסִּיג גְּבוּל רֵעֲךָ אֲשֶׁר גָּבְלוּ רִאשֹׁנִים בְּנַחֲלָתְךָ אֲשֶׁר תִּנְחַל בָּאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ נֹתֵן לְךָ לְרִשְׁתָּהּ׃ |
| 15) One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sins; at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall a matter be established. |
ט״ו לֹא־יָקוּם עֵד אֶחָד בְּאִישׁ לְכָל־עָוֺן וּלְכָל־חַטָּאת בְּכָל־חֵטְא אֲשֶׁר יֶחֱטָא עַל־פִּי שְׁנֵי עֵדִים אוֹ עַל־פִּי שְׁלֹשָׁה עֵדִים יָקוּם דָּבָר׃ |
| 16) If a false witness rises up against any man to testify against him of wrongdoing, |
ט״ז כִּי־יָקוּם עֵד־חָמָס בְּאִישׁ לַעֲנֹת בוֹ סָרָה׃ |
| 17) Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the Lord, before the priests and the judges that shall be in those days. |
י״ז וְעָמְדוּ שְׁנֵי הָאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר־לָהֶם הָרִיב לִפְנֵי יְהוָה לִפְנֵי הַכֹּהֲנִים וְהַשֹּׁפְטִים אֲשֶׁר יִהְיוּ בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם׃ |
| 18) And the judges shall make diligent inquiry; and, behold, if the witness is a false witness, and has testified falsely against his brother, |
י״ח וְדָרְשׁוּ הַשֹּׁפְטִים הֵיטֵב וְהִנֵּה עֵד שֶׁקֶר הָעֵד שָׁקֶר עָנָה בְאָחִיו׃ |
| 19) Then you shall do to him as he had purposed to do to his brother; so shall you put away the evil from among you. |
י״ט וַעֲשִׂיתֶם לוֹ כַּאֲשֶׁר זָמַם לַעֲשׂוֹת לְאָחִיו וּבִעַרְתָּ הָרָע מִקִּרְבֶּךָ׃ |
| 20) And those who remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you. |
כ וְהַנִּשְׁאָרִים יִשְׁמְעוּ וְיִרָאוּ וְלֹא־יוֹסִפוּ עוֹד לַעֲשׂוֹת כַּדָּבָר הָרָע הַזֶּה בְּקִרְבֶּךָ׃ |
| 21) And your eye shall not pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. |
כ״א וְלֹא־תָחוֹס עֵינֶךָ נֶפֶשׁ בְּנֶפֶשׁ עַיִן בְּעַיִן שֵׁן בְּשֵׁן יָד בְּיָד רֶגֶל בְּרָגֶל׃ |
Chapter 20
| 1) When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses, and chariots, and a people more numerous than you, do not be afraid of them; for the Lord your God is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. |
א כִּי־תֵצֵא לַמִּלְחָמָה עַל־אֹיְבֶיךָ וְרָאִיתָ סוּס וָרֶכֶב עַם רַב מִמְּךָ לֹא־תִירָא מֵהֶם כִּי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ עִמָּךְ הַמַּעַלְךָ מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם |
| 2) And it shall be, when you come near to the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people, |
ב וְהָיָה כְּקָרָבְכֶם אֶל־הַמִּלְחָמָה וְנִגַּשׁ הַכֹּהֵן וְדִבֶּר אֶל־הָעָם׃ |
| 3) And shall say to them: Hear, O Israel, you draw near today to battle against your enemies; let not your hearts be faint, do not fear, and do not panic, and do not be terrified because of them. |
ג וְאָמַר אֲלֵהֶם שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל אַתֶּם קְרֵבִים הַיּוֹם לַמִּלְחָמָה עַל־אֹיְבֵיכֶם אַל־יֵרַךְ לְבַבְכֶם אַל־תִּירְאוּ וְאַל־תַּחְפְּזוּ וְאַל־תַּעַרְצוּ מִפְּנֵיהֶם |
| 4) For the Lord your God is He that goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. |
ד כִּי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם הַהֹלֵךְ עִמָּכֶם לְהִלָּחֵם לָכֶם עִם־אֹיְבֵיכֶם לְהוֹשִׁיעַ אֶתְכֶם׃ |
| 5) And the officers shall speak to the people, saying: What man is there who has built a new house, and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it. |
ה וְדִבְּרוּ הַשֹּׁטְרִים אֶל־הָעָם לֵאמֹר מִי־הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר בָּנָה בַיִת־חָדָשׁ וְלֹא חֲנָכוֹ יֵלֵךְ וְיָשֹׁב לְבֵיתוֹ פֶּן־יָמוּת בַּמִּלְחָמָה וְאִישׁ אַחֵר יַחְנְכֶנּוּ |
| 6) And what man is there who has planted a vineyard, and has not enjoyed its fruit? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man enjoy it. |
ו וּמִי־הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר־נָטַע כֶּרֶם וְלֹא חִלְּלוֹ יֵלֵךְ וְיָשֹׁב לְבֵיתוֹ פֶּן־יָמוּת בַּמִּלְחָמָה וְאִישׁ אַחֵר יְחַלְּלֶנּוּ׃ |
| 7) And what man is there who has betrothed a wife, and has not taken her? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her. |
ז וּמִי־הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר אֵרַשׂ אִשָּׁה וְלֹא לְקָחָהּ יֵלֵךְ וְיָשֹׁב לְבֵיתוֹ פֶּן־יָמוּת בַּמִּלְחָמָה וְאִישׁ אַחֵר יִקָּחֶנָּה׃ |
| 8) And the officers shall speak further to the people, and they shall say: What man is fearful and fainthearted? Let him go and return to his house, lest his brethren’s heart melt as his heart. |
ח וְיָסְפוּ הַשֹּׁטְרִים לְדַבֵּר אֶל־הָעָם וְאָמְרוּ מִי־הָאִישׁ הַיָּרֵא וְרַךְ הַלֵּבָב יֵלֵךְ וְיָשֹׁב לְבֵיתוֹ וְלֹא יִמַּס אֶת־לְבַב אֶחָיו כִּלְבָבוֹ |
| 9) And it shall be, when the officers have finished speaking to the people, they shall appoint captains of the armies at the head of the people. |
ט וְהָיָה כְּכַלֹּת הַשֹּׁטְרִים לְדַבֵּר אֶל־הָעָם וּפָקְדוּ שָׂרֵי צְבָאוֹת בְּרֹאשׁ הָעָם׃ |
