In the Hebrew text, this is often a simple conjunction that connects events in a sequence. It signifies a moment of change or a new phase in the journey of the Israelites. This transition is not just temporal but also spiritual, as it marks a new chapter in God's dealings with His people.<p><b>when all</b><br />The phrase "when all" underscores the completeness of the event being described. In the context of Deuteronomy, it emphasizes the totality of the situation. The Hebrew root here conveys a sense of entirety, leaving nothing out. This completeness is significant in understanding the fulfillment of God's word and the thoroughness of His plans.<p><b>the fighting men</b><br />This phrase refers to the generation of Israelites who were counted as warriors. In Hebrew, the term used here often denotes those who are able-bodied and of age to serve in battle. Historically, these were the men who had been part of the exodus from Egypt but were destined not to enter the Promised Land due to their disobedience. This highlights the consequences of unbelief and disobedience to God's commands.<p><b>had perished</b><br />The term "had perished" indicates the fulfillment of God's judgment upon the disobedient generation. The Hebrew root often implies a complete destruction or end. This is a sobering reminder of the seriousness of God's judgments and the reality of His promises, both of blessing and of discipline.<p><b>from among the people</b><br />This phrase situates the event within the larger community of Israel. The Hebrew context suggests a separation or removal from the collective group. It highlights the communal aspect of Israel's journey and the impact of individual actions on the whole community. This serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of God's people and the importance of faithfulness within the community.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/deuteronomy/2.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 16-19.</span> - The generation that sinned having quite died out, the people were now to cross the border of Moab and advance to the conquest of the Promised Land.
