# every man who is armed "every man who is ready with his weapon" # if the land is subdued before you Here the word "land" refers to the people who live there. This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "if Yahweh subdues before you the people living in the land" or "if they help you subdue the people living in the land" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
