What does Numbers 14:31 say about the little ones the Israelites feared would die in the wilderness?
Numbers 14:31 states, 'But your little ones,' referring to the children the Israelites feared would die in the wilderness. The context emphasizes these were the very ones they were so concerned about, and God responds to that fear, though the transcript does not quote the rest.
Les teaches that in Numbers 14, after the adults who murmured were told their carcasses would fall in the wilderness, God turns to the little ones. The Israelites had feared these children would die in the wilderness, but God begins verse 31 with 'But your little ones.' Les points out that 'but' is one of the most important words in Scripture, signaling a contrast. The context presents God's response as almost a comedy of errors, reversing their fear, though the transcript stops short of quoting the remainder of the verse.
But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
