Sifrei Devarim 193

English · Shraga Silverstein

(Devarim 20:4) "For it is the L-rd your G-d who goes with you to do battle with your foes": He who was with you in the desert will be with you at this time.

"to save you": from snakes, scorpions, and adverse winds.

English · Shraga Silverstein

Thus far the Cohein anointed for war speaks; from this point on, the officers.

4
English · Shraga Silverstein

(whether he has betrothed a virgin or a widow, even one awaiting levirate marriage, and even if he has heard that his brother died in the war, he returns.)

English · Shraga Silverstein

All of them (the returnees) heed the words of the Cohein at the battle formation and return and supply water and food for their brothers and repair the roads.

6
English · Shraga Silverstein

Thus far the Cohein anointed for war speaks; from this point on, the officers. I might think (that they speak) their own words, but (8) "Then the officer shall speak further" already speaks of their own words. How, then, are we to understand "Then the officers shall speak"? As referring to the words of the Cohein appointed for war. How so? The Cohein spoke and an officer relayed what he said.
