The Lord is the one who was fighting for Israel (see Deuteronomy 7:1; Deuteronomy 11:23–25; Joshua 1:5, Joshua 1:9; Joshua 8:7; Joshua 10:14, Joshua 10:19, Joshua 10:42) and as a result, even if they might be greatly outnumbered, they will be able to put their enemies to flight. One person chasing a thousand is anticipated in Deuteronomy 32:30 and Leviticus 26:7–8. As long as Israel continues to trust the Lord and obey his commandments, he will drive out their enemies in fulfillment of his promises (see Deuteronomy 9:3–5; Joshua 3:10; Joshua 13:6).1
10 Un seul d'entre vous en poursuivait mille; car l'Eternel, votre Dieu, combattait pour vous, comme il vous l'a dit.
