Matthew Poole and continuators on Numbers 14:33

33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness fourty years , and bear your whoredoms untill your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.

Like sheep feeding in the deserts: or, shall be shepherds, i. e. shall live like the shepherds of Arabia, in tents and removing from place to place, having no certain dwelling.

(i. e.) So long as to make up the time of your dwelling in the wilderness forty years, as appears from Numb. 33. 8. D[illegible: 1+ letters]t. 1. 3. and 2. 14. Compare Amos 5. 25. It is manifest, that one whole year and part of another were past before this sin or judgment.

(i. e.) The punishment of your whoredomes, to wit, of your Apostacy from and perfidiousness against your Lord, who was your husband and had married you to himself. See Ier. 3. 14. Whence Idolatry is called whoredom.
