The Irony of Unbelief
The Israelites' excuse for their rebellion was the fear that their children would become "a prey." Commentators highlight the profound irony that God took their faithless fear and turned it into a direct promise. The very children they thought were doomed would be the ones to inherit the land, showing how God's purposes prevail even over our worst anxieties.
