Deuteronomy 20:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ “Furthermore, let the officials ask the army, ‘Is there a man here^[a] who has built a new house but has not yet dedicated it? Let him go back home. Otherwise, he may die in battle and another man dedicate it. ⁶ And is there a man here^[b] who has planted a vineyard and not yet benefited from it? Let him go home. Otherwise, he may die in battle and another man use it. ⁷ And is there a man here^[c] who is engaged to a woman and has not yet married her? Let him go back home. Otherwise, he may die in battle and another man marry her.’
