For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
Who being moved by your counsel and example, will refuse to go over Jordan, and to possess the land of Canaan.

For if ye turn away from after him,…. From following him in the way of his commandments, from attending his word, worship, and ordinances, and from walking after him, who went before them in a pillar of cloud and fire, as it is suggested they would, should they stop short here and not go over Jordan into the land of Canaan:
he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; as he did at the time of the affair of the spies, when they were ordered to turn and get into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, and where they had been ever since unto this time, Nu 14:25,
and ye shall destroy all this people; be the cause of their destruction, if the Lord should in such a manner resent this step of theirs, as to order them back into the wilderness again, though they were now as they were before, on the border of the land of Canaan.

“ If ye draw back behind Him,” i.e., resist the fulfilment of the will of God, to bring Israel to Canaan, “ He will leave it (Israel) still longer in the desert, and ye prepare destruction for all this nation.”

Num 32:15. Ye shall destroy all this people Who, being moved by your counsel and example, will refuse to go over Jordan and possess the land of Canaan. Thus all who rest satisfied with visible and temporal things, and evidently show by their conduct that they prefer earth to heaven, not only stop short themselves of the rest that remaineth for the people of God, but greatly discourage others in their journey thither, and lay stumbling-blocks in their way. Reader! Arise, depart, this is not thy rest, because it is polluted; it will destroy thee with a sore destruction.
