SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:20
¶ Entonces el SEÑOR dijo: Yo lo he perdonado conforme a tu dicho.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Numbers 14:20
Verse 20. I have pardoned] That is, They shall not be cut off as they deserve, because thou hast interceded for their lives.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 20. And the Lord said, I have pardoned, according to thy word .] So as not to kill them utterly as one man: which is an instance of his being plenteous in mercy, and ready to forgive; and of the virtue and efficacy of the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man, and of the great regard the Lord has to the prayers of a good man for others. The Jerusalem Targum is, “and the Word of the Lord said, lo, I have remitted and forgiven according to thy word;” which must be understood of Christ, the essential Word, and shows, according to the sense of the Targumist, that he has a power to forgive sin, and must be a divine Person, for none can forgive sin but God; (see Mark 2:7,10).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 20-35 - The Lord granted the prayer of Moses so far as not at once to destro the congregation. But disbelief of the promise forbids the benefit Those who despise the pleasant land shall be shut out of it. The promise of God should be fulfilled to their children. They wished to die in the wilderness; God made their sin their ruin, took them a their word, and their carcases fell in the wilderness. They were mad to groan under the burden of their own sin, which was too heavy for them to bear. Ye shall know my breach of promise, both the causes of it, that it is procured by your sin, for God never leaves any till the first leave him; and the consequences of it, that will produce you ruin. But your little ones, now under twenty years old, which ye, in your unbelief, said should be a prey, them will I bring in. God wil let them know that he can put a difference between the guilty and the innocent, and cut them off without touching their children. Thus God would not utterly take away his loving kindness.
