Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shall not enjoy them,.... Or, "they shall not be thine" (q); being taken from them, and given to others, see Deuteronomy 28:32; and for the following reason:
for they shall go into captivity; as when the ten tribes were carried captive by Shalmaneser, and the two tribes by Nebuchadnezzar, and all the people of the Jews by the Romans.
(q) "et non erunt tibi", Pagninus, Montanus.

Sons and daughters would they beget, but not keep, because they would have to go into captivity.
