Three things that cement a man's claim to land: improving the land, building a family, planting and harvesting crops. These things are as much a part of the process of filling and subduing the land as evicting Canaanites.
A man can be exempted from war if he has recently planted a field, but has not yet harvested it for himself. Depending on the crop, this exemption could last as long as five years.
Deuteronomy 20:5-7
God promises victory over enemies and obstacles, but that promise is to the whole people of Israel and victory is predicated on obedience.
#deuteronomy 20:4
Before a battle, the priest is to tell the army four times not to fear. If any man continues to fear after that point, he is in a state of disobedience and anti-faith, and he must be sent home.
Deuteronomy 20:1-4,8
#torah #shoftim
This week's #torah portion includes Deuteronomy 18: 15-22 which is one of the key prophesies of Yeshua being the Messiah. The largest proof of Yeshua fulfilling this prophesy is the destruction of the second temple.

The judges shall inquire diligently. If the witness is a false witness and has accused his brother falsely, then you shall do to him as he had meant to do to his brother. So you shall purge the evil from your midst.
Deuteronomy 19:18-19
A false witness is worse than a murderer because he makes all the people guilty. If you're only getting one side of a story that makes someone sound pretty bad, you have a few options...

If someone in the Land kills another accidentally or through negligence, he can flee to one of the cities of refuge until the matter is sorted out or the High Priest dies. If he doesn't run to a city of refuge, then the victim's avenger can assume it wasn't an accident. (Even then, the avenger can't just kill him. There has to be a trial.)
Deuteronomy 19:1-6
In the accidental death in Deut 16:5, there are no witnesses and no evidence to counter the killer's story. Even if it was a deliberate homicide, he couldn't be convicted or punished. Consider how this effects the story of Cain and Abel.

Small Straws by Marsha Burns
Beloved, it seems like there is always one more thing you have to do to accomplish what has been set before you. But you are like a seed that has been planted; you had to put down roots and struggle up through the soil to find the sunlight. You have endured the wind, been refreshed by the rain, and had to endure temperature changes in light and in darkness. I tell you the truth that all that you have been through has made you stronger and caused you to seek My face, says the Lord. And here you are! Psalm 27:8 My heart says of you, Seek his face! Your face, Lord, I will seek.
