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 say in your heart, 'These nations are greater than I. How can I dispossess them?'
18 you shall not be afraid of them but you shall remember what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt,
19 the great trials that your eyes saw, the signs, the wonders, the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which the LORD your God brought you out. So will the LORD your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.
20 Moreover, the LORD your God will send hornets among them, until those who are left and hide themselves from you are destroyed.
21 You shall not be in dread of them, for the LORD your God is in your midst, a great and awesome God.
