Deuteronomy 1:27-31

You complained while you were in your tents and said, “It's because the Lord hates us that he led us out of Egypt in order to hand us over to the Amorites to be wiped out.

Where are we going? Our brothers terrified us because they told us: ‘The people are bigger and taller than us; the towns are large, with high walls that reach the sky. We even saw the descendants of the giant Anak there!’”

So I told you, “Don't be frightened or scared of them!

The Lord your God who leads your way will fight for you in the same way you saw him do for you in Egypt.

He did the same in the desert—you saw how the Lord your God carried you like a father carries his son during your whole journey until you arrived here.”
