Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Deuteronomy 7:18

Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember... Egypt. — No free nation could ever have the same ground for terror as a nation of slaves rising up against its masters. If Israel had been delivered by Jehovah in that position, it was a security for all time that He would give them the victory in every enterprise He called them to undertake.
