This day will I begin to put the dread of thee,.... And so fulfil the prophecies delivered by Moses in Exo 15:14. and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven; not only the neighbouring nations, the Edomites, Moabites, Ammonites, Philistines, and Canaanites, but nations more remote even throughout the whole world: who shall report of thee; of what was done for Israel in Egypt, and at the Red sea, and in the wilderness; and particularly of the delivery of Sihon and Og, kings of the Amorites, and of their kingdoms into their hands: and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee; lest they should proceed on, and make conquests of their lands also; see Jos 2:9.
