Deuteronomy 20:4

⁴quia Dominus Deus vester in medio vestri est et pro vobis contra adversarios dimicabit ut eruat vos de periculob

Deuteronomy 20 lays out the laws of warfare for Israel, emphasizing God's presence and the moral distinctions in their military engagements. It provides specific instructions for preparing for battle, offering peace to distant cities, and utterly destroying cities within the promised land. The chapter highlights the theological conviction that victory comes from the Lord, not human strength, and underscores the ethical boundaries God placed on Israel's conquest, even in its most violent aspects, to preserve their holiness and the land's purity.
