וְיָסְפ֣וּ הַשֹּׁטְרִים֮ לְדַבֵּ֣ר אֶל־הָעָם֒ וְאָמְר֗וּ מִי־הָאִ֤ישׁ הַיָּרֵא֙ וְרַ֣ךְ הַלֵּבָ֔ב יֵלֵ֖ךְ וְיָשֹׁ֣ב לְבֵית֑וֹ וְלֹ֥א יִמַּ֛ס אֶת־לְבַ֥ב אֶחָ֖יו כִּלְבָבֽוֹ׃
Kemudian para petugas harus berbicara lagi kepada bangsa itu dan berkata: “Siapakah orang yang takut dan lemah hati? Hendaklah ia pergi dan pulang ke rumahnya, supaya hati saudara-saudaranya tidak menjadi tawar seperti hatinya.”
Judges
Adonoy then said to Gidon, "There are still too many people. Lead them down to the water, where I shall purge them for you there. And it shall be; when I say to you this one goes with you, he will go with you. And when I say to you this one does not go with you, he will not go."
Tosefta Sotah
(Deut. 20:7) "And who is the man who has betrothed a woman?" It is the same whether one betroths or whether one performs yibbum, even one there is a widow waiting for a yavam among five brothers, and even if there are five brothers who heard that their brother died are at war, all of them return and come. § [Thus far,] I have only derived that one who built his house and did not inaugurate it, planted a vineyard and did not deconsecrate it, betrothed a woman but did not take her [as a wife]. [If one] built a house and inaugurated it but twelve months did not pass, planted a vineyard and deconsecrated it but twelve months did not pass, [or] betrothed a woman and took her [as a wife] twelve months did not pass, from where is it derived that they do not move from their place? The verse states (Deut. 24:5), "When a man takes a new wife." This matter was included in the general rule, so why was it specifically mentioned here? In order to make a comparison with it: Just as this betokens that [as to] one who betrothed a woman and took her and twelve months did not pass, that he does not move from his place, so too that is the case with all of them.
Tosefta Sotah
For thus the Torah teaches the way of the world: When a man is given a livelihood, he acquires for himself a house. If he is again given [means], he acquires for himself a field. If he is yet again given [means], he acquires for himself a wife, as it is said (Deut. 20:5-7), "Who is the man who has built ... and who is the man who has planted ... and who is the man who has betrothed a wife." And so too Solomon said with his wisdom (Prov. 24:27), "Prepare your work outside, [Get ready what you have in the field, Then build yourself a home]." "Prepare your work outside" -- that is a house. "Get ready what you have in the field" -- that is a field. "Then build yourself a home" -- that is a wife. Another version: "Prepare your work outside" -- that is Scripture. "Get ready what you have in the field" -- that is Mishnah. "Then build yourself a home" -- that is Midrash. Another version: "Prepare your work outside" -- that is Mishnah. "Get ready what you have in the field" -- that is Midrash. "Then build yourself a home" -- that is Halachot. Another version: "Prepare your work outside" -- that is Midrash. "Get ready what you have in the field" -- that is Halachot. "Then build yourself a home" -- that is Aggadot. Another version: "Prepare your work outside" -- that is Halachot. "Get ready what you have in the field" -- that is Aggadot. "Then build yourself a home" -- that is Talmud. Rabbi Eliezer the son of Rabbi Yosei HaGalili says, "Prepare your work outside" -- that is Talmud. "Get ready what you have in the field" -- that is good deeds. "Then build yourself a home" -- come and expound it, and receive your reward.
