Deuteronomy 7:21 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 7:21

Thou shall not be affrighted at them
At their numbers, nor at their gigantic stature:

for the Lord thy God is among you:
in the tabernacle, in the holy of holies, which was in the midst of them, and besides would give proof of his powerful presence among them, in protecting them, and destroying their enemies;

a mighty God and terrible;
mighty to save his people, and terrible to others.

Deuteronomy 7:21 In-Context

19 Remember the great contests to which you were eyewitnesses: the miracle-signs, the wonders, God's mighty hand as he stretched out his arm and took you out of there. God, your God, is going to do the same thing to these people you're now so afraid of.
20 And to top it off, the Hornet. God will unleash the Hornet on them until every survivor-in-hiding is dead.
21 So don't be intimidated by them. God, your God, is among you - God majestic, God awesome.
22 God, your God, will get rid of these nations, bit by bit. You won't be permitted to wipe them out all at once lest the wild animals take over and overwhelm you.
23 But God, your God, will move them out of your way - he'll throw them into a huge panic until there's nothing left of them.
