Deuteronomy 7:19 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 7:19

The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and
the wonders
The miracles wrought in Egypt; see ( Deuteronomy 4:34 )

and the mighty hand, and stretched out arm, whereby the Lord thy God
brought thee out;
that is, out of Egypt, which was an instance and proof of his almighty power:

so shall the Lord thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art
afraid;
not perform the same miraculous operations among them, but exert the same power in the destruction of them, and in dispossessing them of their land, as in destroying the Egyptians, and delivering Israel from among them.

Taken from John Gill's Exposition of the Bible

Deuteronomy 7:19 In-Context

17 If you say to yourself, "These nations are more numerous than I; how can I dispossess them?"
18 do not be afraid of them. Just remember what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt,
19 the great trials that your eyes saw, the signs and wonders, the mighty hand and the outstretched arm by which the Lord your God brought you out. The Lord your God will do the same to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.
20 Moreover, the Lord your God will send the pestilence against them, until even the survivors and the fugitives are destroyed.
21 Have no dread of them, for the Lord your God, who is present with you, is a great and awesome God.
