Kommentar zu Dewarim 1:41
וַֽתַּעֲנ֣וּ ׀ וַתֹּאמְר֣וּ אֵלַ֗י חָטָאנוּ֮ לַֽיהוָה֒ אֲנַ֤חְנוּ נַעֲלֶה֙ וְנִלְחַ֔מְנוּ כְּכֹ֥ל אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּ֖נוּ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ וַֽתַּחְגְּר֗וּ אִ֚ישׁ אֶת־כְּלֵ֣י מִלְחַמְתּ֔וֹ וַתָּהִ֖ינוּ לַעֲלֹ֥ת הָהָֽרָה׃
Da antwortete ihr und sprach zu mir: 'Wir haben gegen den HERRN gesündigt, wir werden hinaufgehen und kämpfen, nach allem, was der HERR, unser Gott, uns geboten hat.' Und ihr gürtet jedem Mann seine Kriegswaffen und hält es für eine leichte Sache, ins Hügelland hinaufzugehen.
Rashi on Deuteronomy
ותהינו — This is an expression derived from the word הננו in (Numbers 14:40) "Here we are (הננו) and we will go up to the place”. This is the expression which you uttered — the expression הן, "yes”. The word, therefore, means as much as: you expressed your readiness to go up into the mountain.

Ramban on Deuteronomy
ANACHNU’ (WE) ‘NA’ALEH’ (WE WILL GO UP) AND FIGHT. The purport of the word ‘anachnu’ (we) [when it is already included in the word na’aleh which means “we will go up”] is that “we ourselves” will go up and we will fight, and we will not leave the matter to our children after us, as you [Moses] have said.
