In Hebrew, the word used is "טַף" (taf), which denotes young children or infants. This highlights God's compassion and care for the innocent, who are often overlooked in society. The mention of "little ones" serves as a reminder of God's promise to protect and provide for the next generation, ensuring that His covenant extends beyond the current generation to those who are yet to grow and understand His ways. you said would become captives your children who do not yet know good from evil will enter the land I will give them and they will take possession of it Which ye said should be a prey.--In Numbers 14:3, "that our wives and children should be a prey."

The Hebrews were wont to express totality or universality by specifying contradictory opposites, as, e.g., great and small (2 Chronicles 34:30), master and scholar (Malachi 2:20), free and bond (Revelation 13:16; Revelation 19:18), shut up and left (Deuteronomy 32:36, where see note; 1 Kings 14:10), etc. Accordingly, when good and evil are set over against each other, the notion of entireness or universality is expressed. Thus, when Laban and Bethuel said to Abraham's servant "We cannot speak unto thee bad or good" (Genesis 24:50), the meaning is, We can say nothing at all. Absalom spake to Amnon "neither good nor bad" (2 Samuel 13:22); that is, he did not say anything to him. The woman of Tekoa said to David, "As an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad" (2 Samuel 14:17); i.e. There is nothing the king does not know - his knowledge is universal. Hence to know good and evil came to mean to be intelligent, and not to know good and evil to be unintelligent, as is a babe. The children here referred to knew nothing, and consequently could not be held as morally responsible; comp.
