Deuteronomy 1:41 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

We have sinned... we will go up and fight. — The emphatic we of this verse may be compared with the “we” of Deuteronomy 1:28. In both instances it was we, without Jehovah. It was a change from cowardice to presumption, not from unbelief to faith.

Ye were ready to go up into the hill. — Some render, Ye made light of going up.

Deuteronomy 1:41

41 Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.
