Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Deuteronomy 3:22
Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight for you.
22. Ye shall not fear them ] We may either take this Pl. as intended to comprise all the people with Joshua; or read, with Sam., some codd. of the LXX, and the Syriac, thou shall not fear them. Which was the original it is impossible to say. All the versions have the Pl. in the last clause (LXX, B our God), but to take it as therefore a late addition borrowed from Deu 1:30 (Steuern.) is somewhat pedantic; the change from Sg. to Pl. is here very natural.

Ye shall not fear them,…. On account of the numbers, strength, courage, and gigantic stature of the inhabitants, at least some of them; nor on account of their walled towns, and fortified cities:
for the Lord your God he shall fight for you; as he did, particularly at Jericho, the walls of which city fell at the sound of rams’ horns; and at Gibeon, when he cast down hailstones on their enemies, and more were slain by them than with the sword; and in all their battles it was he that gave them success and victory.
