“The Lord your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;”
The LORD your God who goes before you, he shall fight for you, just as he did for you in Egypt before your eyes -- the recall of Egyptian miracles is the antidote to despair. The LORD's past faithfulness (plagues, the parting of the sea) demonstrates his power. The phrase 'goes before you' emphasizes God's position not behind but ahead: the conquest is not Israel's burden alone but God's fight. The people need only trust and follow.
