SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:16
Porque no pudo el SEÑOR meter este pueblo en la tierra de la cual les había jurado, los mató en el desierto.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. Because the Lord was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them , etc.] That though he brought them out of Egypt, he was not able to bring them through the wilderness into Canaan; and that though he had wrought many signs and wonders for them, he could work no more, his power failed him, he had exhausted all his might, and could not perform the promise and oath he had made: therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness ; because he could not fulfil his word, and so made short work of it, destroying them all together, which Moses suggests would greatly reflect dishonour on him; and in this he shows, that he was more concerned for the glory of God than for his own.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-19 - Moses made humble intercession for Israel. Herein he was a type of Christ, who prayed for those that despitefully used him. The pardon of a nation's sin, is the turning away the nation's punishment; and for that Moses is here so earnest. Moses argued that, consistently with God's character, in his abundant mercies, he could forgive them.
