SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:33
Y vuestros hijos andarán pastoreando en el desierto cuarenta años, y ellos llevarán vuestras fornicaciones, hasta que vuestros cuerpos sean consumidos en el desierto.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 33. And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years , etc.] Or “feed” f189 , as shepherds, who go from place to place, and seek fresh pasture for their sheep; it being the custom of a shepherd, as Aben Ezra observes, not to stand or rest in a place; and so like sheep grazing in a wilderness, where they have short commons, and wander about in search, of better. These forty years are to be reckoned from their coming out of Egypt, from whence they had now been come about a year and a half: and bear your whoredoms ; the punishment of their idolatries, which are frequently signified by this phrase, and particularly of the idolatry of the calf, which God threatened to punish whenever he visited for sin, ( Exodus 32:34); and of other sins, as their murmurings, etc. for it was on account of them their children wandered so long in the wilderness, and were kept out of the possession of the land of Canaan: until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness ; everyone of them be consumed by death, save those before excepted, ( Numbers 14:30).
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.
