“And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.”
Then they set out, and the terror of God fell on the towns all around them so that no one pursued them. The divine protection during the journey — the terror of God on the surrounding towns — prevents the retaliation that Jacob feared in Genesis 34:30. The application: the covenant person who obeys the command to return to the place of worship is protected by divine provision during the journey. God's terror goes ahead of them.
