Where you were weak, dispirited, divided, raw, and unexperienced, and in a great measure unarmed, and able to do nothing against your numerous, potent, united enemies, but to stand still and see the salvation of God. And therefore now your distrust is highly unreasonable, when you have been hardened and fitted for military service by your travels, disciplined and experienced in some degree as to martial affairs, encouraged by frequent and glorious miracles for forty years together, and you are going into a country divided into several nations and kingdoms.

Verse 30. The Lord - shall fight for you] In the Targum of Onkelos, it is, the WORD of the Lord shall fight for you. In a great number of places the Targums or Chaldee paraphrases use the term מימרא דיי meimera dayeya or Yehovah, the Word of the Lord, exactly in the same way in which St. John uses the term Λογος Logos in the first chapter of his Gospel. Many instances of this have already occurred.

Shall fight for you according to all that he did in Egypt — This was one of the strongest arguments possible to beget in them a firm reliance on the protection and help of God; since they could not but own that the same power which had redeemed them out of Egypt, was no less able to bring them into Canaan; yet even this proved to be of no avail.

30. who goeth before you] Heb. emphatically, the goer before you is He, found only in D as here or with slight differences, Deu_1:33, Deu_20:4, Deu_31:6; Deu_31:8; J, Exo_13:21, has the same part, without the def. art. adding the pillar of cloud and pillar of fire; E, Exo_14:19, the angel of God going before the camp. It is in such differences of style as well as of figure that the distinction of D consists. See Driver on Exo_13:21; Exo_14:9.
