There is no call to prepare the city for invasion. Instead, there is simply the warning that no one must go out into the field
or walk on the road.
There must be no movement outside of the fortified areas of the city.1 The enemy has a sword
which means that there is terror on every side.
25 Ne sortez pas dans les champs, N'allez pas sur les chemins; Car là est le glaive de l'ennemi, Et l'épouvante règne à l'entour!
