Context of Deuteronomy 7:19
17You may say to yourselves, “These nations outnumber us. How can we force them out?” 18Don’t be afraid of them. Remember what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and all of Egypt. You saw with your own eyes the terrible plagues, the miraculous signs, and the amazing things the Lord did. He used his mighty hand and powerful arm to bring you out. He will do the same thing to all the people you’re afraid of. 20The Lord your God will spread panic among them until they all die. There will be no one left—not even those who were hiding from you. 21Don’t be afraid of them, because the Lord your God is with you. He is a great and awe-inspiring God.
