“Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.”
And your little ones, whom you said would become a prey, and your children who this day have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall enter in there, and to them will I give it, and they shall possess it -- the 'little ones' become the hope of the promise. They, not their faithless parents, will inherit. The phrase 'no knowledge of good or evil' may suggest innocence or simply that they are too young to bear responsibility for the parent's rebellion. This verse establishes a principle: God's promises extend beyond one generation's disobedience.
