Because the Lord was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them<\/strong>,…. That though he brought them out of Egypt, he was not able to bring them through the wilderness into Canaan; and that though he had wrought many signs and wonders for them, he could work no more, his power failed him, he had exhausted all his might, and could not perform the promise and oath he had made:<\/p>\n therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness<\/strong>; because he could not fulfil his word, and so made short work of it, destroying them all together, which Moses suggests would greatly reflect dishonour on him; and in this he shows, that he was more concerned for the glory of God than for his own.<\/p>\n 16<\/strong>. <\/strong> Because the Lord was not able <\/strong> The unbelieving world can appreciate only omnipotent power. When this is withdrawn, God fails. They have no conception of the divine holiness, justice, wisdom, and truth, as influencing the government of God. That is a very shallow theology which teaches that men will be saved from hell by sheer omnipotence, without respect to character. But Moses appeals to all the moral attributes of God, and he prevails.<\/p>\n Deu 9:28, Deu 32:26, Deu 32:27, Jos 7:9 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Gen 24:7 – which spake Exo 13:5 – sware Psa 115:2 – General Isa 48:11 – for how Jer 14:9 – cannot Jer 32:22 – which Eze 36:20 – These Eze 47:14 – lifted up mine hand Dan 6:20 – able<\/p>\n Num 14:16-17. Not able His power was quite spent in bringing them out of Egypt, and could not finish the work he had begun and had sworn to do. Let the power of my Lord be great That is, appear to be great; discover its greatness; namely, the power of his grace and mercy, or the greatness of his mercy, in pardoning this and their other sins: for to this the following words manifestly restrain it, where the pardon of their sins is the only instance of this power, both described in Gods titles, Num 14:18; and prayed for by Moses, Num 14:19; and granted by God in answer to him, Num 14:20.<\/p>\n Nor is it strange that the pardon of sin, especially such great sins, is spoken of as an act of power in God, because undoubtedly it is an act of omnipotent and infinite goodness.<\/p>\n Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore unto them therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness. His power was quite spent in bringing them out of Egypt, and could not finish the work he had begun and had sworn to do.
