Numbers 14:21

Compare all

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.

25 Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwell in the valley; tomorrow turn and ^amove out into the wilderness by the Way of the Red Sea.”

Numbers 14:21

All the earth shall be filled, etc. - kol haarets , all This land, i. e., the land of Canaan which was only fulfilled to the letter when the preaching of Christ and his apostles was heard through all the cities and villages of Judea. It does not appear that the whole of the terraqueous globe is meant by this expression in any of the places where it occurs connected with this promise of the diffusion of the Divine light. See Psalms 72:19; Isaiah 40:5; Habakkuk 2:14.
