Moses continues reminding the people of Israel what the previous generation of Israelites did.
## Yet you refused to attack ##
Israel was to attack and destroy the Amorites but Israel rebelled and refused to fight them out of fear.
## Where can we go now? ##
The people use a question to emphasize their despair. AT: "We have nowhere to go" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
## made our hearts to melt ##
AT: "made us very afraid" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
## and are fortified up to the heavens ##
This is an exaggeration that emphasizes how frightened the people were because the cities were so large and strong. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole]])
## sons of the Anakim ##
These are descendants of the Anak people who were very large and fierce. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names]])
