Deuteronomy 20:10 in Context — Deuteronomy 20

8 Les officiers continueront à parler au peuple, et diront: Qui est-ce qui a peur et manque de courage? Qu’il s’en aille et retourne chez lui, afin que ses frères ne se découragent pas comme lui.

9 Quand les officiers auront achevé de parler au peuple, ils placeront les chefs des troupes à la tête du peuple.

10 Quand tu t’approcheras d’une ville pour l’attaquer, tu lui offriras la paix.

11 Si elle accepte la paix et t’ouvre ses portes, tout le peuple qui s’y trouvera te sera tributaire et asservi.

12 Si elle n’accepte pas la paix avec toi et qu’elle veuille te faire la guerre, alors tu l’assiégeras.
