Verse 14
"And the days in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, were thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah sware unto them. Moreover the hand of Jehovah was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed."
"Generation of the men of war ..." This refers to the people from twenty years of age and upwards, especially the men.
"Hand of Jehovah was against them ..." "This means that, not by natural causes alone, but by special penal judgments also, they were troubled and destroyed."[21] There may be instances in which God still shows His displeasure with extremely wicked men by cutting their lives short. Certainly, He did it here.
