Números 14:35 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 14:35

I the Lord have said
Determined, resolved on doing what I have declared, and again repeat it; the decree is absolute and peremptory, and will never be revoked: I will surely do it to all this evil congregation, that are gathered
together against me;
against his ministers, Moses the chief magistrate, and Aaron the high priest; and this is interpreted gathering, conspiring, and rebelling against the Lord himself, on account of which they might be truly called an evil congregation, and therefore it was a determined point with him to destroy them: in this wilderness they shall be consumed;
by wasting diseases: and there they shall die;
as they wished they might, ( Numbers 14:22 ) ; with respect to which this was so often repeated, ( Exodus 16:3 ) ; and which the Jews interpret not only of a corporeal death, but of an eternal one; for they say ^F3

``the generation of the wilderness (of those that died there) have no part in the world to come, nor shall stand in judgment, as it is said, "in this wilderness" ( Numbers 14:35 ) .''

Números 14:35 In-Context

33 e vossos filhos serão pastores no deserto quarenta anos, e levarão sobre si as vossas infidelidades, até que os vossos cadáveres se consumam neste deserto.

34 Segundo o número dos dias em que espiastes a terra, a saber, quarenta dias, levareis sobre vós as vossas iniqüidades por quarenta anos, um ano por um dia, e conhecereis a minha oposição.

35 Eu, o Senhor, tenho falado; certamente assim o farei a toda esta má congregação, aos que se sublevaram contra mim; neste deserto se consumirão, e aqui morrerão.

36 Ora, quanto aos homens que Moisés mandara a espiar a terra e que, voltando, fizeram murmurar toda a congregação contra ele, infamando a terra,

37 aqueles mesmos homens que infamaram a terra morreram de praga perante o Senhor.
