Deuteronomy 9:2-3
9:2 They include the Anakites, 1 a numerous 2 and tall people whom you know about and of whom it is said, “Who is able to resist the Anakites?”
9:3 Understand today that the Lord your God who goes before you is a devouring fire; he will defeat and subdue them before you. You will dispossess and destroy them quickly just as he 3 has told you.
1 sn Anakites. See note on this term in Deut 1:28.
2 tn Heb “great and tall.” Many English versions understand this to refer to physical size or strength rather than numbers (cf. “strong,” NIV, NCV, NRSV, NLT).
3 tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun has been used in the translation in keeping with contemporary English style to avoid redundancy.
