Deuteronômio 1:39 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 1:39

Moreover, your little ones, which ye said should be a prey,
&c.] To the Amorites, into whose hands they expected to be delivered, ( Deuteronomy 1:27 ) see ( Numbers 14:3 )

and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and
evil;
not being at years of understanding, and which is a common description of children; it is particularly expressed "in that day", for now they were the very persons Moses was directing his speech unto, and relating this history, it being thirty eight years ago when this affair was, so that now they were grown up to years of discretion:

they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall
possess it:
the relation of which now might serve greatly to encourage their faith, as well as it would be a fulfilment of the promise of the land made unto Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, which was not made of none effect through the unbelief of the Israelites, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness, since their posterity was to enjoy it, and did.

Deuteronômio 1:39 In-Context

37 Também contra mim o Senhor se indignou por vossa causa, dizendo: Igualmente tu lá não entrarás.

38 Josué, filho de Num, que te serve, ele ali entrará; anima-o, porque ele fará que Israel a receba por herança.

39 E vossos pequeninos, dos quais dissestes que seriam por presa, e vossos filhos que hoje não conhecem nem o bem nem o mal, esses lá entrarão, a eles a darei e eles a possuirão.

40 Quanto a vós, porém, virai-vos, e parti para o deserto, pelo caminho do Mar Vermelho.

41 Então respondestes, e me dissestes: Pecamos contra o Senhor; nós subiremos e pelejaremos, conforme tudo o que nos ordenou o Senhor nosso Deus. Vós, pois, vos armastes, cada um, dos vossos instrumentos de guerra, e temerariamente propusestes subir a montanha.
