Deuteronomy 7:17

17 si dixeris in corde tuo plures sunt gentes istae quam ego quomodo potero delere eas

Deuteronomy 7:17 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 7:17

If thou shall say in thine heart
Should have secret thoughts arise in the heart, misgivings of heart, fears and doubts there, which, though not outwardly expressed, might be inwardly retained:

these nations are more than I;
seven to one, and perhaps anyone of them as powerful as Israel:

how can I dispossess them?
of the land they inherit, and take possession of it.

Deuteronomy 7:17 In-Context

15 auferet Dominus a te omnem languorem et infirmitates Aegypti pessimas quas novisti non inferet tibi sed cunctis hostibus tuis
16 devorabis omnes populos quos Dominus Deus tuus daturus est tibi non parcet eis oculus tuus nec servies diis eorum ne sint in ruinam tui
17 si dixeris in corde tuo plures sunt gentes istae quam ego quomodo potero delere eas
18 noli metuere sed recordare quae fecerit Dominus Deus tuus Pharaoni et cunctis Aegyptiis
19 plagas maximas quas viderunt oculi tui et signa atque portenta manumque robustam et extentum brachium ut educeret te Dominus Deus tuus sic faciet cunctis populis quos metuis
