Numbers 14:18 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 14:18

16 ‘Because the Lord was not ^aable to bring this people to the land which He swore to give them, therefore He killed them in the wilderness.’

17 And now, I pray, let the power of my Lord be great, just as You have spoken, saying,

18 ^a‘The Lord is longsuffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He by no means clears the guilty, ^bvisiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation.’

19 ^aPardon the iniquity of this people, I pray, ^baccording to the greatness of Your mercy, just ^cas You have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.”

20 Then the Lord said: “I have pardoned, ^aaccording to your word;

21 but truly, as I live, ^aall the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord—

22 ^abecause all these men who have seen My glory and the signs which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have put Me to the test now ^bthese ten times, and have not heeded My voice,

23 they certainly shall not ^asee the land of which I swore to their fathers, nor shall any of those who rejected Me see it.

24 But My servant ^aCaleb, because he has a different spirit in him and ^bhas followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it.
