No man will be able to stand against you
This phrase is a powerful assurance of divine protection and victory. The Hebrew root for "stand" is "עָמַד" (amad), which implies not just physical standing but also the ability to withstand or oppose. Historically, this promise was given to the Israelites as they prepared to enter the Promised Land, a land filled with formidable enemies. The assurance here is that no human power can prevail against those whom God supports. This reflects a broader biblical theme that God’s people, when obedient and aligned with His will, are invincible against their adversaries.

the LORD your God
This phrase emphasizes the personal relationship between God and His people. "LORD" is translated from "YHWH," the sacred and personal name of God, signifying His eternal presence and covenant faithfulness. "Your God" personalizes this relationship, indicating that the Israelites are His chosen people. This covenant relationship is central to the identity of Israel and is a recurring theme throughout Deuteronomy, underscoring God’s commitment to His people and His role as their divine protector and guide.

will put the fear and dread of you
The Hebrew words for "fear" (מוֹרָא, mora) and "dread" (פַּחַד, pachad) convey a sense of overwhelming terror and awe. This divine-induced fear is not merely psychological but a supernatural intervention by God to ensure the success of His people. Historically, this was evident as surrounding nations heard of Israel’s victories and the miraculous acts of God on their behalf, leading to a paralyzing fear that prevented them from effectively opposing Israel. This concept is echoed in other biblical narratives, such as the fear that fell upon the inhabitants of Jericho (Joshua 2:9-11).

upon all the land you enter
This phrase indicates the scope of God’s promise, extending to "all the land" that the Israelites would enter. The land, in this context, refers to Canaan, the Promised Land, which was inhabited by various nations. The promise of divine-induced fear upon these nations underscores God’s sovereignty over all lands and peoples. It also highlights the fulfillment of God’s promises to the patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, regarding the inheritance of the land.

as He has promised you
This phrase serves as a reminder of God’s faithfulness to His word. The promises made to the patriarchs and reiterated throughout the Exodus and wilderness journey are being fulfilled. This assurance is rooted in the covenantal promises found in earlier scriptures, such as Genesis 12:7 and Exodus 23:27. It reinforces the reliability of God’s word and His unwavering commitment to His people. For the Israelites, this was a call to trust in God’s promises and to act in faith, knowing that God’s word is sure and steadfast.

(25) The fear of you and the dread of you.--Rashi says: "The fear of you on those that are near, and the dread upon those that are far off." It is a very far-reaching prophecy, for it may be read, "upon all the earth that ye shall tread upon." (See Esther 8:2-3, where it was fulfilled throughout the whole Persian Empire.}
