Context of Deuteronomy 1:29

27You complained among yourselves privately and said, “Because the Lord hates us he brought us from Egypt to deliver us over to the Amorites so they could destroy us! 28What is going to happen to us?

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