Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Deuteronomy 2:16

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

16. all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people —The outbreak at Kadesh on the false report of the spies had been the occasion of the fatal decree by which God doomed the whole grown-up population to die in the wilderness [ Numbers 14:29 ]; but that outbreak only filled up the measure of their iniquities. For that generation, though not universally abandoned to heathenish and idolatrous practices, yet had all along displayed a fearful amount of ungodliness in the desert, which this history only hints at obscurely, but which is expressly asserted elsewhere ( Ezekiel 20:25 ; Ezekiel 20:26 ; Amos 5:25 ; Amos 5:27 ; Acts 7:42 ; Acts 7:43 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-17" class="com-number"
