EXTRA · Side-ring · Parashas Shoftim · Passuk 20:01
When you go out to war against your enemies and see horse and chariot, a people more numerous than you, you shall not fear them, for the Eternal your God is with you, who brought you up from the land of Egypt.
Chazal / classical source (beyond TT-numbered main-ring units): Sotah 42a / Rambam.
Lemma: וְרָאִיתָ סוּס וָרֶכֶב עַם רַב מִמְּךָ.
English: ‘And you see horse and chariot, a people more numerous than you’ – even so, you shall not fear.
Derash on the strength of the command (Bavli) — visible superiority of the enemy does not license fear.
Even when the enemy’s horses, chariots, and numbers are plainly greater, the Torah still forbids fear because Hashem is with Yisrael.
