Verse 21 is found in chapter 7 of Deuteronomy. Covenant faithfulness is connected with blessing, multiplication, and protection, while idolatry threatens the relationship with God. Moses reminds Israel not to fear the peoples of Canaan because it has already witnessed God’s power in Egypt. The nations’ cultic objects must be destroyed rather than accumulated, preventing the religious wealth of the defeated peoples from becoming a spiritual trap.

Laß dir nicht grauen vor ihnen; denn der HERR, dein Gott, ist unter dir, der große und schreckliche Gott.
No desmayes delante de ellos, que Jehová tu Dios está en medio de ti, Dios grande y terrible.
No te aterres ante ellos, porque Jehová tu Dios está en medio de ti, un Dios grande y temible.
Ne sois point effrayé à cause d'eux; car l'Eternel, ton Dieu, est au milieu de toi, le Dieu grand et terrible.
Non isgomentarti per cagion di loro; conciossiachè il Signore Iddio tuo, Dio grande e tremendo, sia nel mezzo di te.
Não te espantes diante deles; porque o SENHOR teu Deus está no meio de ti, Deus grande e terrível.
不要因他們驚恐,因為耶和華-你的上帝在你中間是大而可畏的上帝。
