Deuteronomy 20:8

וְיָסְפוּ הַשֹּׁטְרִים לְדַבֵּר אֶל ־ הָעָם וְאָמְרוּ מִי ־ הָאִישׁ הַיָּרֵא וְרַךְ הַלֵּבָב יֵלֵךְ וְיָשֹׁב לְבֵיתוֹ וְלֹא יִמַּס אֶת ־ לְבַב אֶחָיו כִּלְבָבֽוֹ ׃

Hebrew Tanakh (Original)

In The King James Version

And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren’s heart faint as well as his heart.

9וְהָיָה כְּכַלֹּת הַשֹּׁטְרִים לְדַבֵּר אֶל ־ הָעָם וּפָקְדוּ שָׂרֵי צְבָאוֹת בְּרֹאשׁ הָעָֽם ׃ ס
