What does “having no knowledge of good or evil” mean in Deut. 1:39?

  • Ask Dr. E

What does “having no knowledge of good or evil” mean in Deut. 1:39?

with Michael Easley
Michael answers a question about phrasing in Deuteronomy that might have been obvious to the original hearers of the text, but could be easily missed today.

Q: “Moreover, your little ones who you said would become a prey, and your sons, who this day have no knowledge of good or evil, shall enter there, and I will give it to them and they shall possess it.” (Deuteronomy 1:39)

Is “no knowledge of good or evil” a call back to the tree of knowledge of good & evil in Eden? This seems like language that would’ve brought that to an Israelite’s mind immediately. I’m very curious about what Moses may have been telling them by using it, which may not be immediately obvious to us.

Listen to Dr. E’s answer to a question about salvation for children and the age of innocence or accountability Here.
