To overthrow their seed; he sware also (though not at the same time) that he would punish their sins, not only in their persons, but also in their posterity. See Exodus 20:5, Exodus 32:34 Leviticus 26:33. Others refer this to the same oath and history, Num 14, because God intended at first to destroy both parents and children, even the whole nation, Psalms 106:12,15, though afterwards upon Moses's intercession he limited the judgment to that generation. But that destruction threatened was by the pestilence, Psalms 106:12, not, as here, by captivity and banishment. Besides, God said that, Psalms 106:11, but he did not swear it, but the oath came afterward, Psalms 106:21.
