Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917] |
Surely
Kadesh-barnea is, by the unbelief of Israel there, and the divine comment on that unbelief (Num 14:22-38); (Deu 1:19-40); (Co1 10:1-5); (Heb 3:12-19) invested with immense spiritual significance. The people had faith to sprinkle the blood of atonement (Exo 12:28) and to come out of Egypt (the world), but had not faith to enter their Canaan rest. Therefore, though redeemed, they were a forty years' grief to Jehovah. The spiritual application is made in (Heb 6:3-11):

4 For [1063] it is impossible [102] for those who were once [530] enlightened [5461], and [5037] have tasted [1089] of the heavenly [2032] gift [1431], and [2532] were made [1096] partakers [3353] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151],
3 And [2532] this [5124] will we do [4160], if [1437] [4007] God [2316] permit [2010].
4 For [1063] it is impossible [102] for those who were once [530] enlightened [5461], and [5037] have tasted [1089] of the heavenly [2032] gift [1431], and [2532] were made [1096] partakers [3353] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151],
5 And [2532] have tasted [1089] the good [2570] word [4487] of God [2316], and [5037] the powers [1411] of the world [165] to come [3195],
6 If [2532] they shall fall away [3895], to renew them [340] again [3825] unto [1519] repentance [3341]; seeing they crucify [388] to themselves [1438] the Son [5207] of God [2316] afresh [388], and [2532] put him to an open shame [3856].
7 For [1063] the earth [1093] which [3588] drinketh in [4095] the rain [5205] that cometh [2064] oft [4178] upon [1909] it [846], and [2532] bringeth forth [5088] herbs [1008] meet [2111] for them [1565] [2532] by [1223] whom [3739] it is dressed [1090], receiveth [3335] blessing [2129] from [575] God [2316]:
8 But [1161] that which beareth [1627] thorns [173] and [2532] briers [5146] is rejected [96], and [2532] is nigh [1451] unto cursing [2671]; whose [3739] end [5056] is to [1519] be burned [2740].
9 But [1161], beloved [27], we are persuaded [3982] better things [2909] of [4012] you [5216], and [2532] things that accompany [2192] salvation [4991], though [1499] we [2980] thus [3779] speak [2980].
10 For [1063] God [2316] is not [3756] unrighteous [94] to forget [1950] your [5216] work [2041] and [2532] labour [2873] of love [26], which [3739] ye have shewed [1731] [1731] toward [1519] his [846] name [3686], in that ye have ministered [1247] to the saints [40], and [2532] do minister [1247].
11 And [1161] we desire [1937] that every one [1538] of you [5216] do shew [1731] the same [846] diligence [4710] to [4314] the full assurance [4136] of hope [1680] unto [891] the end [5056]:
28 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] went away [03212], and did [06213] as the LORD [03068] had commanded [06680] Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175], so did [06213] they.
12 Take heed [991], brethren [80], lest [3379] there be [2071] in [1722] any [5100] of you [5216] an evil [4190] heart [2588] of unbelief [570], in [1722] departing [868] from [575] the living [2198] God [2316].
13 But [235] exhort [3870] one another [1438] daily [2596] [1538] [2250], while [891] [3739] it is called [2564] To day [4594]; lest [3363] any [5100] of [1537] you [5216] be hardened [4645] through the deceitfulness [539] of sin [266].
14 For [1063] we are made [1096] partakers [3353] of Christ [5547], if [1437] [4007] we hold [2722] the beginning [746] of our confidence [5287] stedfast [949] unto [3360] the end [5056];
15 While [1722] it is said [3004], To day [4594] if [1437] ye will hear [191] his [846] voice [5456], harden [4645] not [3361] your [5216] hearts [2588], as [5613] in [1722] the provocation [3894].
16 For [1063] some [5100], when they had heard [191], did provoke [3893]: howbeit [235] not [3756] all [3956] that came [1831] out of [1537] Egypt [125] by [1223] Moses [3475].
17 But [1161] with whom [5101] was he grieved [4360] forty [5062] years [2094]? was it not [3780] with them that had sinned [264], whose [3739] carcases [2966] fell [4098] in [1722] the wilderness [2048]?
18 And [1161] to whom [5101] sware he [3660] that they should [1525] not [3361] enter [1525] into [1519] his [846] rest [2663], but [1508] to them that believed not [544]?
19 So [2532] we see [991] that [3754] they could [1410] not [3756] enter in [1525] because [1223] of unbelief [570].
1 Moreover [1161], brethren [80], I would [2309] not [3756] that ye [5209] should be ignorant [50], how that [3754] all [3956] our [2257] fathers [3962] were [2258] under [5259] the cloud [3507], and [2532] all [3956] passed [1330] through [1223] the sea [2281];
2 And [2532] were [907] all [3956] baptized [907] unto [1519] Moses [3475] in [1722] the cloud [3507] and [2532] in [1722] the sea [2281];
3 And [2532] did [5315] all [3956] eat [5315] the same [846] spiritual [4152] meat [1033];
4 And [2532] did [4095] all [3956] drink [4095] the same [846] spiritual [4152] drink [4188]: for [1063] they drank [4095] of [1537] that spiritual [4152] Rock [4073] that followed them [190]: and [1161] that Rock [4073] was [2258] Christ [5547].
5 But [235] with [1722] many [4119] of them [846] God [2316] was [2106] not [3756] well pleased [2106]: for [1063] they were overthrown [2693] in [1722] the wilderness [2048].
19 And when we departed [05265] from Horeb [02722], we went through [03212] all that great [01419] and terrible [03372] wilderness [04057], which ye saw [07200] by the way [01870] of the mountain [02022] of the Amorites [0567], as the LORD [03068] our God [0430] commanded [06680] us; and we came [0935] to Kadeshbarnea [06947].
20 And I said [0559] unto you, Ye are come [0935] unto the mountain [02022] of the Amorites [0567], which the LORD [03068] our God [0430] doth give [05414] unto us.
21 Behold [07200], the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath set [05414] the land [0776] before [06440] thee: go up [05927] and possess [03423] it, as the LORD [03068] God [0430] of thy fathers [01] hath said [01696] unto thee; fear [03372] not, neither be discouraged [02865].
22 And ye came near [07126] unto me every one of you, and said [0559], We will send [07971] men [0582] before [06440] us, and they shall search us out [02658] the land [0776], and bring [07725] us word [01697] again [07725] by what way [01870] we must go up [05927], and into what cities [05892] we shall come [0935].
23 And the saying [01697] pleased me well [03190] [05869]: and I took [03947] twelve [08147] [06240] men [0582] of you, one [0259] of a tribe [0376] [07626]:
24 And they turned [06437] and went up [05927] into the mountain [02022], and came [0935] unto the valley [05158] of Eshcol [0812], and searched it out [07270].
25 And they took [03947] of the fruit [06529] of the land [0776] in their hands [03027], and brought it down [03381] unto us, and brought [07725] us word [01697] again [07725], and said [0559], It is a good [02896] land [0776] which the LORD [03068] our God [0430] doth give [05414] us.
26 Notwithstanding ye would [014] not go up [05927], but rebelled [04784] against the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430]:
27 And ye murmured [07279] in your tents [0168], and said [0559], Because the LORD [03068] hated [08135] us, he hath brought us forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], to deliver [05414] us into the hand [03027] of the Amorites [0567], to destroy [08045] us.
28 Whither shall we go up [05927]? our brethren [0251] have discouraged [04549] our heart [03824], saying [0559], The people [05971] is greater [01419] and taller [07311] than we; the cities [05892] are great [01419] and walled up [01219] to heaven [08064]; and moreover we have seen [07200] the sons [01121] of the Anakims [06062] there.
29 Then I said [0559] unto you, Dread [06206] not, neither be afraid [03372] of them.
30 The LORD [03068] your God [0430] which goeth [01980] before [06440] you, he shall fight [03898] for you, according to all that he did [06213] for you in Egypt [04714] before your eyes [05869];
31 And in the wilderness [04057], where thou hast seen [07200] how that the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] bare [05375] thee, as a man [0376] doth bear [05375] his son [01121], in all the way [01870] that ye went [01980], until ye came [0935] into this place [04725].
32 Yet in this thing [01697] ye did not believe [0539] the LORD [03068] your God [0430],
33 Who went [01980] in the way [01870] before [06440] you, to search you out [08446] a place [04725] to pitch your tents [02583] in, in fire [0784] by night [03915], to shew [07200] you by what way [01870] ye should go [03212], and in a cloud [06051] by day [03119].
34 And the LORD [03068] heard [08085] the voice [06963] of your words [01697], and was wroth [07107], and sware [07650], saying [0559],
35 Surely there shall not one [0376] of these men [0582] of this evil [07451] generation [01755] see [07200] that good [02896] land [0776], which I sware [07650] to give [05414] unto your fathers [01],
36 Save [02108] Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312]; he shall see [07200] it, and to him will I give [05414] the land [0776] that [0834] he hath trodden upon [01869], and to his children [01121], because he hath wholly [04390] followed [0310] the LORD [03068].
37 Also the LORD [03068] was angry [0599] with me for your sakes [01558], saying [0559], Thou also shalt not go [0935] in thither [08033].
38 But Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126], which standeth [05975] before [06440] thee, he shall go in [0935] thither: encourage [02388] him: for he shall cause Israel [03478] to inherit [05157] it.
39 Moreover your little ones [02945], which ye said [0559] should be a prey [0957], and your children [01121], which in that day [03117] had no knowledge [03045] between good [02896] and evil [07451], they shall go in [0935] thither, and unto them will I give [05414] it, and they shall possess [03423] it.
40 But as for you, turn [06437] you, and take your journey [05265] into the wilderness [04057] by the way [01870] of the Red [05488] sea [03220].
22 Because all those men [0582] which have seen [07200] my glory [03519], and my miracles [0226], which I did [06213] in Egypt [04714] and in the wilderness [04057], and have tempted [05254] [0853] me now these ten [06235] times [06471], and have not hearkened [08085] to my voice [06963];
23 Surely they shall not [0518] see [07200] the land [0776] which I sware [07650] unto their fathers [01], neither shall any of them that provoked [05006] me see [07200] it:
24 But my servant [05650] Caleb [03612], because [06118] he had another [0312] spirit [07307] with him, and hath followed [0310] me fully [04390], him will I bring [0935] into the land [0776] whereinto he went [0935]; and his seed [02233] shall possess [03423] it.
25 (Now the Amalekites [06003] and the Canaanites [03669] dwelt [03427] in the valley [06010].) To morrow [04279] turn [06437] you, and get [05265] you into the wilderness [04057] by the way [01870] of the Red [05488] sea [03220].
26 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872] and unto Aaron [0175], saying [0559],
27 How long shall I bear with this evil [07451] congregation [05712], which murmur [03885] against me? I have heard [08085] the murmurings [08519] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], which they murmur [03885] against me.
28 Say [0559] unto them, As truly as [03808] I live [02416], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], as ye have spoken [01696] in mine ears [0241], so will I do [06213] to you:
29 Your carcases [06297] shall fall [05307] in this wilderness [04057]; and all that were numbered [06485] of you, according to your whole number [04557], from twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] and upward [04605], which have murmured [03885] against me,
30 Doubtless ye shall not [0518] come [0935] into the land [0776], concerning which I sware [03027] [05375] to make you dwell [07931] therein, save Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312], and Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126].
31 But your little ones [02945], which ye said [0559] should be a prey [0957], them will I bring in [0935], and they shall know [03045] the land [0776] which ye have despised [03988].
32 But as for you, your carcases [06297], they shall fall [05307] in this wilderness [04057].
33 And your children [01121] shall wander [07462] in the wilderness [04057] forty [0705] years [08141], and bear [05375] your whoredoms [02184], until your carcases [06297] be wasted [08552] in the wilderness [04057].
34 After the number [04557] of the days [03117] in which ye searched [08446] the land [0776], even forty [0705] days [03117], each day [03117] for a year [08141] [03117] [08141], shall ye bear [05375] your iniquities [05771], even forty [0705] years [08141], and ye shall know [03045] my breach of promise [08569].
35 I the LORD [03068] have said [01696], I will surely [0518] [03808] do [06213] it [02063] unto all this evil [07451] congregation [05712], that are gathered together [03259] against me: in this wilderness [04057] they shall be consumed [08552], and there they shall die [04191].
36 And the men [0582], which Moses [04872] sent [07971] to search [08446] the land [0776], who returned [07725], and made all the congregation [05712] to murmur [03885] [03885] against him, by bringing up [03318] a slander [01681] upon the land [0776],
37 Even those [0582] men [0582] that did bring up [03318] the evil [07451] report [01681] upon the land [0776], died [04191] by the plague [04046] before [06440] the LORD [03068].
38 But Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126], and Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312], which were of the men [01992] [0582] that went [01980] to search [08446] the land [0776], lived [02421] still.
