fear not, nor be affrighted The phrase usual with Pl. passages (for the corresponding Sg. see Deuteronomy 1:21 and below Deuteronomy 31:8). Deuteronomy 1:29 takes these vbs. in the reverse order. The Pl. in this part of the v. is confirmed by Sam. The LXX has Sg. per incuriam.

doth go with thee Deuteronomy 20:4; before thee, Deuteronomy 1:30. Sam. confirms Sg. The LXX has Pl.

fail thee let thee drop; Deuteronomy 4:31: not fail nor forsake thee, so Deuteronomy 31:8; Joshua 1:5 (deuter.), 1 Chronicles 28:20; Hebrews 13:5. Sg. is confirmed by Sam. LXX.
