Deuteronomy 1:29-31
New English Translation
29 So I responded to you, “Do not be terrified[a] of them! 30 The Lord your God is about to go[b] ahead of you; he will fight for you, just as you saw him do in Egypt[c] 31 and in the wilderness, where you saw him[d] carrying you along like a man carries his son. This he did everywhere you went until you came to this very place.”
