What is the connection between this Pasuk and the previous one?
Rashi: 'If you will do your job, then I will do Mine!' 1
R. Bachye (on Pasuk 25): If Yisrael will fulfil all the Mitzvos of the Torah Hashem will deliver those mighty nations into their hands - which is why He commanded Yisrael to fear Him 2 and not them 3 .
Seforno: 'If you will do everything in order to do the will of Hashem, He will provide you with the means to sustain yourselves, to enable you to achieve your goal. 4
Oznayim la'Torah: You will live long in the land - if you will keep all the Mitzvos.
And the 'Vav' means 'then'. Refer to 11:14:1:1*.
R. Bachye: In Devarim 10:20 "es Hashem Elokecha Tiyra".
In Devarim 7:18 "Lo Siyra Meihem" and in 7:21 "Lo Sa'arotz Mipneihem". See R. Bachye, who elaborates.
Refer to 11:14:1:3*
The Torah implies that Hashem will drive out all the nations in one go. Why are we not afraid of the wild animals - which the Pasuk referred to earlier, in 7:22?
Oznayim la'Torah: Because the Pasuk there is predicting that they will sin and not be worthy of the miracle mentioned here; whereas the current Pasuk is informing us of the miracle that will occur in the event that they keep all the Mitzvos. 1
As Rashi explained there.
Why does the Pasuk insert the word "Kol ha'Goyim ha'eileh"?
Sifri: To include whoever comes to assist the above-mentioned nations - whom Hashem will also drive away. 1
See Torah Temimah, note 65.
What are the implications of "Goyim Gedolim va'Atzumim Mikem"?
