Deuteronomy 7:19

19 the great trials that your eyes saw and the signs and the wonders and the [workings of] the strong hand and the outstretched arm [by] which Yahweh your God brought you out; so Yahweh your God will do to all [of] the peoples {because of whom} you [are] in fear {before them}.

Deuteronomy 7:19 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 7:19

The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and
the wonders
The miracles wrought in Egypt; see ( Deuteronomy 4:34 )

and the mighty hand, and stretched out arm, whereby the Lord thy God
brought thee out;
that is, out of Egypt, which was an instance and proof of his almighty power:

so shall the Lord thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art
afraid;
not perform the same miraculous operations among them, but exert the same power in the destruction of them, and in dispossessing them of their land, as in destroying the Egyptians, and delivering Israel from among them.

Deuteronomy 7:19 In-Context

17 "If you think in your heart, 'These nations [are] more numerous than I, so how can I dispossess them?'
18 [then remember] you must not be afraid of them; you must well remember what Yahweh your God did to Pharaoh and to all [of] Egypt:
19 the great trials that your eyes saw and the signs and the wonders and the [workings of] the strong hand and the outstretched arm [by] which Yahweh your God brought you out; so Yahweh your God will do to all [of] the peoples {because of whom} you [are] in fear {before them}.
20 And, moreover, Yahweh your God will send the hornets among them until [both] the survivors and the fugitives {are destroyed} {before you}.
21 You must not [be in dread] from the presence of them, because Yahweh your God, [who is] in your midst, [is] a great and awesome God.
