29 Cairão neste deserto os cadáveres de todos vocês, de vinte anos para cima, que foram contados no recenseamento e que se queixaram contra mim.

Números 14:29 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 14:29

Your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness
They had wished they had died in it, ( Numbers 14:2 ) , and the Lord here declares they should, which is signified by the falling of their carcasses in it, or their bodies, which when dead fall to the ground, having no strength to support themselves:

and all that were numbered of you:
but a few months before this time, when their number was 603,550, ( Numbers 1:46 ) ;

according to your number from twenty years old and upward;
which is observed, as Jarchi thinks, to except the Levites, for they were not numbered with the other tribes; and when they were numbered by themselves, their number was taken from a month old and upwards; wherefore it need not be wondered at, if we find that there were of them who did not fall in the wilderness, but entered into the land of Canaan, as it is certain Eleazar the priest, the son of Aaron, did, ( Numbers 34:17 ) ( Joshua 14:1 ) ;

which have murmured against me;
which shows, that not the spies only, who caused the people to murmur, but the people themselves who murmured, and had been numbered, from twenty years old and upward, are the evil congregation the Lord thus threatened with death.

Números 14:29 In-Context

27 “Até quando esta comunidade ímpia se queixará contra mim? Tenho ouvido as queixas desses israelitas murmuradores.

28 Diga-lhes: Juro pelo meu nome, declara o SENHOR, que farei a vocês tudo o que pediram:

29 Cairão neste deserto os cadáveres de todos vocês, de vinte anos para cima, que foram contados no recenseamento e que se queixaram contra mim.

30 Nenhum de vocês entrará na terra que, com mão levantada, jurei dar-lhes para sua habitação, exceto Calebe, filho de Jefoné, e Josué, filho de Num.

31 Mas, quanto aos seus filhos, sobre os quais vocês disseram que seriam tomados como despojo de guerra, eu os farei entrar para desfrutarem a terra que vocês rejeitaram.
