Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea,.... The space of time; or, "the days" (b); the number of them:

until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; that is, from the time that the spies were sent and searched the land, and brought a report of it; for they were sent from Kadeshbarnea, Numbers 32:8 unto the passage of the Israelites over Zered, were thirty eight years; so long they had been travelling in the wilderness, after they were come to the borders of the land:

until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host; all that were twenty years old and upwards, and fit to go out to war upon occasion, when the people were first numbered after they came out of Egypt; all that generation was now consumed within the above space of time, excepting two, Caleb and Joshua:

as the Lord sware unto them; Numbers 14:21.

King James Translators' Notes

brook: or, valley


Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

2:8-23 We have the origin of the Moabites, Edomites, and Ammonites. Moses also gives an instance older than any of these; the Caphtorims drove the Avims out of their country. These revolutions show what uncertain things wordly possessions are. It was so of old, and ever will be so. Families decline, and from them estates are transferred to families that increase; so little continuance is there in these things. This is recorded to encourage the children of Israel. If the providence of God has done this for Moabites and Ammonites, much more would his promise do it for Israel, his peculiar people. Cautions are given not to meddle with Moabites and Ammonites. Even wicked men must not be wronged. God gives and preserves outward blessings to wicked men; these are not the best things, he has better in store for his own children.


1 Corinthians 10:5 Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered over the desert.
Numbers 14:28 So tell them, 'As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you the very things I heard you say:
Numbers 14:29 In this desert your bodies will fall--every one of you twenty years old or more who was counted in the census and who has grumbled against me.
Numbers 26:64 Not one of them was among those counted by Moses and Aaron the priest when they counted the Israelites in the Desert of Sinai.
Numbers 26:65 For the LORD had told those Israelites they would surely die in the desert, and not one of them was left except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
Deuteronomy 1:34 When the LORD heard what you said, he was angry and solemnly swore:
Deuteronomy 1:35 "Not a man of this evil generation shall see the good land I swore to give your forefathers,
Deuteronomy 1:46 And so you stayed in Kadesh many days--all the time you spent there.
Deuteronomy 2:7 The LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched over your journey through this vast desert. These forty years the LORD your God has been with you, and you have not lacked anything.
Deuteronomy 2:13 And the LORD said, "Now get up and cross the Zered Valley." So we crossed the valley.
Deuteronomy 2:16 Now when the last of these fighting men among the people had died,
Joshua 5:4 Now this is why he did so: All those who came out of Egypt--all the men of military age--died in the desert on the way after leaving Egypt.
Joshua 5:6 The Israelites had moved about in the desert forty years until all the men who were of military age when they left Egypt had died, since they had not obeyed the LORD. For the LORD had sworn to them that they would not see the land that he had solemnly promised their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Joshua 24:7 But they cried to the LORD for help, and he put darkness between you and the Egyptians; he brought the sea over them and covered them. You saw with your own eyes what I did to the Egyptians. Then you lived in the desert for a long time.
Psalm 90:15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen trouble.
Psalm 106:26 So he swore to them with uplifted hand that he would make them fall in the desert,
