Deuteronomy 1:30 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 1:30

The Lord your God, which goeth before you
In a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night:

he shall fight for you;
wherefore, though their enemies were greater and taller than they, yet their God was higher than the highest; and cities walled up to heaven would signify nothing to him, whose throne is in the heavens:

according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes:
which is observed to encourage their faith in God; for he that wrought such wonders in Egypt for them, which their eyes, at least some of them, and their fathers, however, had seen, what is it he cannot do?

Deuteronomy 1:30 In-Context

28 Whither shall we ascend? the messengers made afeared our heart, and said, A greatest multitude is, and larger in stature than we; the cities be great, and walled till to heaven; we saw there the sons of Anakim, that is, giants. (Why should we go up there? the messengers made our hearts afraid when they said, There is a great multitude there, and they be larger in stature than us, and the cities be great, and walled unto the heavens; yea, they said, We saw the sons of the Anakim, that is, the sons of the giants, there!)
29 And I said to you, Have ye no dread (Do not ye be afraid), nor be ye aghast;
30 the Lord God himself, which is your leader (who is your leader), shall fight for you, as he did in Egypt, while all men saw (it).
31 And ye saw in the wilderness, thy Lord God bare thee, as a man is wont to bear his little son, in all the way by which ye went, till ye came to this place. (And ye saw in the wilderness, how the Lord thy God carried thee, like a man is wont to carry his little son, all the way by which ye went, until ye came to this place.)
32 And soothly neither so ye believed to your Lord God, (But still ye would not trust the Lord your God,)
