30. save Caleb . . . andJoshua<\/B>These are specially mentioned, as honorable exceptionsto the rest of the scouts, and also as the future leaders of thepeople. But it appears that some of the old generation did not joinin the mutinous murmuring, including in that number the whole orderof the priests (Jos 14:1<\/span>).<\/P><\/p>\n Doubtless ye shall not come into the land<\/strong>,…. The land of Canaan; or “if ye shall come” a; that is, I swear ye shall not, so the Targum of Jonathan:<\/p>\n [concerning] which I sware to make you dwell therein<\/strong>; not them personally, but the people and nation of which they were, and to which they belonged, the seed and posterity of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to whom the oath was made:<\/p>\n save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun<\/strong>; who brought a good report of the land. Caleb is mentioned first, as Aben Ezra thinks, because he first appeased and quieted the people; but in<\/p>\n Nu 14:38<\/span> Joshua stands first, so that nothing is to be inferred from hence; these were the only two of the spies that went into the land of Canaan, Nu 13:4<\/span>; and the only two of the Israelites that were numbered, from twenty years old and upwards, Nu 14:29<\/span>; those of the tribe of Levi, not being in that account, must be remembered to be excepted also.<\/p>\n a “si vos ingressi fueritis”, Pagninus, Montanus.<\/p>\n (30) Concerning which I sware.<\/strong>Literally, 1 lifted up <\/em>my hand. <\/em>Lifting up the hand is the attitude of swearing. (See Gen. 14:22<\/span> and Note; Deu. 32:40<\/span>.) The reference appears to be to the original covenant made with Abraham, and renewed to Isaac and Jacob, respecting the possession of the land of Canaan. (Comp. Gen. 15:7<\/span>; Gen. 15:18<\/span>; Gen. 17:8<\/span>; Gen. 22:16-18<\/span>; Gen. 26:3-4<\/span>; Gen. 28:13<\/span>; Exo. 6:8<\/span>.)<\/p>\n 30<\/strong>. <\/strong> Doubtless <\/strong> “Surely,” R.V. The Hebrew form of oath usually is a grammatical protasis, or condition with the apodosis or conclusion omitted; thus, If they enter into the land, <\/em> (let me be untrue.) Hence it is customary to translate the if <\/em> by not<\/em>. Comp. Heb 3:11<\/span>; Heb 4:3<\/span>. <\/p>\n I sware <\/strong> Literally, lifted up my hand. <\/em> Every promise of God to man is conditioned on man’s faithfulness and obedience.<\/p>\n Num 14:30<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>I sware to make you dwell therein<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> The phrase is not, I sware <\/em>to you to make you dwell therein, <\/em>but I sware, <\/em>that is, to Abraham, <\/em>to make you, that is, his seed, <\/em>not you <\/em>as individuals but as a people; for had that settlement been promised to them as individuals, it had been inconsistent with the divine veracity not to make good that oath; see Grotius de Jure Bel. and Pac. lib. ii. c. xiii. sect. 3. God’s promises were made to the seed of Abraham; to the children of Israel; to the Hebrews, an abiding people; which was to subsist for many ages, though particular men were going off daily, as in all fleeting successive bodies. To that people, I say, the promises were literally made, and to the same people they were as literally fulfilled. The promise was not tied to certain persons, but to a certain people, and therefore might be performed at any time, if not otherwise limited, while that people subsisted. It is a very usual and a very intelligible way of speaking, common in all languages, to speak of nations in their national capacity, and to say we <\/em>or you, <\/em>not meaning it of the individuals now living, but of their ancestors or posterity; see Saurin’s 59th Dissertation. <\/p>\n I sware. Hebrew I lifted up my hand. Figure of speech Metonymy (of Adjunct), App-6, put for swearing. Compare Num 14:21. Deu 32:40, &c. <\/p>\n sware: Heb. lifted up my hand, Gen 14:22 <\/p>\n save Caleb: Num 14:38, Num 26:65, Num 32:12, Deu 1:36-38 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Gen 24:7 – which spake Exo 13:5 – sware Num 13:6 – Caleb Num 13:16 – Jehoshua Num 14:6 – Joshua Num 32:11 – because Num 32:15 – he will yet Num 34:19 – Caleb Deu 1:38 – Joshua Jos 14:6 – Thou knowest 1Ch 4:15 – Caleb Neh 9:15 – sworn Psa 90:16 – and Jer 32:22 – which Eze 20:38 – they shall Eze 47:14 – lifted up mine hand Phi 3:8 – doubtless Heb 3:16 – not Heb 3:18 – to whom<\/p>\n Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, [concerning] which I swore to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. To make you, i.e. your nation; for God did not swear to do so to these particular persons.
