For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward.

For ye shall not go out with haste - as when ye left Egypt (; ; : cf. note, ). Ye shall have time to cleanse yourselves and make deliberate preparation for departure.

For the Lord will go before you - Yahweh, as your Leader in front (; ; ).

And the God of Israel (will be) your rereward - literally, will gather you up; i:e., bring up the rear of your host.
