The Levites, however, were not included in that census (Num 1:47<\/span>), and the priestly writer probably assumed that the sentence of death in the wilderness did not apply to them. Aaron’s son Eleazar succeeded his father as high priest on the borders of Canaan, and he must certainly have been over 20 years of age at this time, since he acted in a responsible position as priest before the departure from Sinai (see Num 3:3<\/span> f., 32<\/span>, Num 4:16<\/span>).<\/p>\n Your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness<\/strong>,…. They had wished they had died in it, Nu 14:2<\/span>, and the Lord here declares they should, which is signified by the falling of their carcasses in it, or their bodies, which when dead fall to the ground, having no strength to support themselves:<\/p>\n and all that were numbered of you<\/strong>: but a few months before this time, when their number was 603,550, Nu 1:46<\/span>;<\/p>\n according to your number from twenty years old and upward<\/strong>; which is observed, as Jarchi thinks, to except the Levites, for they were not numbered with the other tribes; and when they were numbered by themselves, their number was taken from a month old and upwards; wherefore it need not be wondered at, if we find that there were of them who did not fall in the wilderness, but entered into the land of Canaan, as it is certain Eleazar the priest, the son of Aaron, did,<\/p>\n Nu 34:17<\/span>;<\/p>\n which have murmured against me<\/strong>; which shows, that not the spies only, who caused the people to murmur, but the people themselves who murmured, and had been numbered, from twenty years old and upward, are the evil congregation the Lord thus threatened with death.<\/p>\n (29) From twenty years old and upward.<\/strong>Rashi thinks that these words were employed to show that the Levites who were numbered from a month old and upwards were not included in the general sentence of destruction, and hence that it is no just cause of astonishment that some of them, as, e.g., <\/em>Eleazar, should have entered the land of Canaan.<\/p>\n 29<\/strong>. <\/strong> Your carcasses <\/strong> By the use of this word, which, especially in modern usage, conveys contempt or ridicule, the English translation does injustice to Jehovah’s solemn oath of exclusion from Canaan. The original signifies simply corpses <\/em> or dead bodies. <\/em> See Gen 15:11<\/span>. <\/p>\n All that were numbered <\/strong> 603,550. See Num 1:46<\/span>. Caleb and Joshua only were excepted. Since the women were not numbered, they are not excluded. The tribe of Levi was not included in the general census. From this fact, and from the mention of Eleazar in Jos 14:1<\/span>; Jos 24:33<\/span>, we conclude that this tribe was not excluded.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Num 14:29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me,<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Ver. 29.
