17<\/strong>. Another motive besides regard for his own name moved Jehovah to spare Israel pity for the sinners; cf. Psa 78:38<\/span>, “But he being full of compassion forgave their iniquity and destroyed them not; yea many a time he turned his anger away”. Num 14:20<\/span>.<\/p>\n Nevertheless mine eye spared them; <\/B>though they did highly provoke God, and deserved to be cut off, yet his eye pitied them: they provoked his wrath, he stirred up his compassions. <\/P> Them; <\/B>not all of them, for many did die in the wilderness, and, among these, some by immediate wrath; but how many soever they were, yet the growing generation was spared, and the nation was not extirpated. <\/P> <\/p>\n 17. Nevertheless<\/B>Howmarvellous that God should spare such sinners! His everlastingcovenant explains it, His long-suffering standing out in strikingcontrast to their rebellions (Psa 78:38<\/span>;Jer 30:11<\/span>).<\/P><\/p>\n Nevertheless, mine eye spared them from destroying them<\/strong>,…. Utterly, so as to leave neither root nor branch; for though the whole generation died excepting two, either by the immediate hand of God in wrath, or else by ordinary deaths; yet there was a generation raised up in their stead, to whom mercy was shown:<\/p>\n neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness<\/strong>; that they should be no more a nation and people; though the carcasses of them that believed not fell in the wilderness, and never saw the good land, yet their posterity was spared to see it, and did.<\/p>\n This is added, because God often afflicted the people with heavy punishments, but he restrained himself, that he should not utterly destroy both their persons and their name. He says, then, that he spared them through respect for his own name, as he formerly said, that he should not execute consumption on them; that is, that he should not utterly blot out the memory of them. He did not spare them entirely to foster their depravity by his indulgence, but as we shall afterwards see, he withdrew his hand that he should not consume them, as he might most justly have done. It now follows — <\/p>\n 17<\/strong>. <\/strong> Nevertheless mine eye spared them <\/strong> So identified were Israel and Jehovah in the eyes of the nations that he could not have utterly annihilated the nation, as justice seemed to demand, without bringing dishonor upon his own name (Deu 9:28-29<\/span>). Therefore, and because of his own special love and pity for them (Num 14:20<\/span>; Psa 78:38<\/span>), he did not wholly cut them off, root and branch, in the wilderness; but, while he executed judgment upon that generation (Eze 20:15<\/span>; Num 14:28<\/span>), he spared the children and exhorted them to do better than their fathers (Eze 20:18<\/span>). It is worthy of notice that Ezekiel knew the Hebrew history well and gave the same interpretation of it that orthodoxy has always given.<\/p>\n “Nevertheless my eyes spared them from destroying them, nor did I make a full end of them in the wilderness.”<\/p>\n Although he prevented the first generation from entering the good land, He showed mercy. He spared their children that they might enter in. He refrained from making a full end of Israel.<\/p>\n Eze 20:17 Nevertheless mine eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.<\/p>\n Ver. 17. Nevertheless mine eye spared them.<\/strong> ] It was by a non obstante<\/em> of God’s mercy, and by a prop of his extraordinary patience, that they subsisted.<\/p>\n mine: Eze 8:18, Eze 9:10, 1Sa 24:10, Neh 9:19, Psa 78:37, Psa 78:38 <\/p>\n neither: Eze 7:2, Eze 11:13, Jer 4:27, Jer 5:18, Nah 1:8, Nah 1:9 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Gen 45:20 – regard not Eze 20:22 – I withdrew<\/p>\n Eze 20:17, God chastised his people while in the wilderness and many thousands of them died. But the nation as a whole was not wiped out but succeeded In reaching the land promised to their fathers.<\/p>\n So the Lord spared His people. He did this in response to Moses’ intercession for the people (cf. Num 14:13-19; Deu 1:26-40; Psa 106:23-25).<\/p>\n Nevertheless mine eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness. 17.
