5 And the Lord shall give them up before your face, that ye may do unto them according unto all the commandments which I have commanded you.
5 The Lord will deliver them to you, and you must do to them all that I have commanded you.
5 And the Lord will give them over to you, and you shall do to them according to the whole commandment that I have commanded you.
5 God will hand the nations over to you, and you'll treat them exactly as I have commanded you.
5 The Lord will give them over to you, that you may do to them according to every commandment which I have commanded you.
5 The Lord will hand over to you the people who live there, and you must deal with them as I have commanded you.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Deuteronomy 31:5
Commentary on Deuteronomy 31:1-8
(Read Deuteronomy 31:1-8)
Moses assures Israel of the constant presence of God with them. This is applied by the apostle to all God's spiritual Israel, to encourage their faith and hope; unto us is this gospel preached, as well as unto them; he will never fail thee, nor forsake thee, Hebrews 13:5. Moses commends Joshua to them for a leader; one whose wisdom, and courage, and affection they had long known; one whom God had appointed to be their leader; and therefore would own and bless. Joshua is well pleased to be admonished by Moses to be strong and of good courage. Those shall speed well, who have God with them; therefore they ought to be of good courage. Through God let us do valiantly, for through him we shall do victoriously; if we resist the devil, he will flee from us.
