Deuteronomy 1-3

8 See, I have set the land before you; go in and possess the land

Possess!

13 Choose wise, understanding, and knowledgeable men from among your tribes, and I will make them heads over you.’

Leadership that does not have the people's approval will be ineffective and fruitless..

21 a people as great and numerous and tall as the Anakim. But the LORD destroyed them before them, and they dispossessed them and dwelt in their place, 22 just as He had done for the descendants of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, when He destroyed the Horites from before them. They dispossessed them and dwelt in their place, even to this day.

The power of testimony: see, the Edomites dispossessed giants, and the Ammonites dispossessed giants....so can you, O people of God!

22 You must not fear them, for the LORD your God Himself fights for you.’

Fear is blasphemy. Fear is idolatry.
