Números 14:29

29 neste deserto cairão os vossos cadáveres; nenhum de todos vós que fostes contados, segundo toda a vossa conta, de vinte anos para cima, que contra mim murmurastes,

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 sofrerei esta má congregação, que murmura contra mim? tenho ouvido as murmurações dos filhos de Israel, que eles fazem contra mim.

28 Dize-lhes: Pela minha vida, diz o Senhor, certamente conforme o que vos ouvi falar, assim vos hei de fazer:

29 neste deserto cairão os vossos cadáveres; nenhum de todos vós que fostes contados, segundo toda a vossa conta, de vinte anos para cima, que contra mim murmurastes,

30 certamente nenhum de vós entrará na terra a respeito da qual jurei que vos faria habitar nela, salvo Calebe, filho de Jefoné, e Josué, filho de Num.

31 Mas aos vossos pequeninos, dos quais dissestes que seriam por presa, a estes introduzirei na terra, e eles conhecerão a terra que vós rejeitastes.
