The LORD your God himself will go over before you. He will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua will go over before you, as the LORD has spoken.

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 3. Then. This word is not in Hebrew or the Sept.; neither does Moses mean to insinuate, that God would take his place in conducting the people; but only that after he should be no more, the divine Providence would no less watch over his people, and direct the councils of Josue, who stood beside him. Bible.—The ark preceded the army, (Joshua 3) and God invisibly put the enemies of Israel to flight. Menochius.
