Deuteronomy 7:18 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 7:18

Thou shalt not be afraid of them
Neither on account of their number, nor their strength:

but shall well remember what the Lord thy God did unto Pharaoh, and
unto all Egypt;
a people more numerous and potent than the Canaanites, among whom the Lord wrought such wonderful things by his power, which obliged them to let Israel go; and his power was now the same, he could do as great things to the Canaanites as he had to the Egyptians; and as he had delivered them out of the hands of the Egyptians, he could as easily deliver the Canaanites into their hands, and put them into the possession of their country.

Deuteronomy 7:18 In-Context

16 You will destroy all the peoples that the LORD your God is handing over to you. Show them no pity. And don't serve their gods because that would be a trap for you.
17 If you happen to think to yourself, These nations are greater than we are; how can we possibly possess their land?
18 don't be afraid of them! Remember, instead, what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and all Egypt:
19 the great trials that you saw with your own eyes, the signs and wonders, and the strong hand and outstretched arm the LORD your God used to rescue you. That's what the LORD your God will do to any people you fear.
20 The LORD your God will send terror on them until even the survivors and those hiding from you are destroyed.
