Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Deuteronomy 1:41

We have sinned... we will go up and fight. — The emphatic we of this verse may be compared with the “we” of Deuteronomy 1:28. In both instances it was we, without Jehovah. It was a change from cowardice to presumption, not from unbelief to faith.

Ye were ready to go up into the hill. — Some render, Ye made light of going up.
