Deuteronomy 2:25

This day will I begin to put the dread of thee
And so fulfil the prophecies delivered by Moses in ( Exodus 15:14-16 )

and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven;
not only the neighbouring nations, the Edomites, Moabites, Ammonites, Philistines, and Canaanites, but nations more remote even throughout the whole world:

who shall report of thee;
of what was done for Israel in Egypt, and at the Red sea, and in the wilderness; and particularly of the delivery of Sihon and Og, kings of the Amorites, and of their kingdoms into their hands:

and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee;
lest they should proceed on, and make conquests of their lands also; see ( Joshua 2:9-11 ) .
