Dutch 2024 (EBV24 een Eigentijdse Bijbelvertaling)
“Wanneer je ten strijde trekt tegen je vijanden en je ziet paarden en wagens, een volk talrijker dan je zelf, dan zul je niet bang voor hen zijn, want de HEERE, je GOD, die je uit het land Egypte heeft geleid, is met je.
Wat betekent dit?
This verse tells us that when you face a battle and see a powerful enemy force, you should not be afraid because God is with you. It's God speaking to the Israelites, reminding them of their past deliverance from Egypt.

Imagine you're playing a game and suddenly the other team gets many more players and looks too strong for you. This verse is like a coach saying, 'Don't worry, you're not alone; remember, I've helped you win before.'
Historische achtergrond
Moses wrote this in the Book of Deuteronomy, around 1400 BC, as the Israelites prepared to enter the Promised Land. It was a time of great military challenges and the message was to strengthen their faith in God's presence and power.
