Deuteronomy 1:29-31

1:29 So I responded to you, “Do not be terrified ¹  of them! 1:30 The Lord your God is about to go ²  ahead of you; he will fight for you, just as you saw him do in Egypt ³  1:31 and in the desert, where you saw him ⁴  carrying you along like a man carries his son. This he did everywhere you went until you came to this very place.”

¹ tn Heb “do not tremble and do not be afraid.” Two synonymous commands are combined for emphasis.

² tn The Hebrew participle indicates imminent future action here, though some English versions treat it as a predictive future (“will go ahead of you,” NCV; cf. also TEV, CEV).

³ tn Heb “according to all which he did for you in Egypt before your eyes.”

³ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun (“him”) has been employed in the translation for stylistic reasons.
