To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children " (Exod. xxxiv. 7), which were regarded as the answer to Moses' question in the preceding chapter of Exodus.*^ Prevalent, however, as this view may have been in ancient times, the Rabbis never allowed it to pass without some qualification. It is true that they had no objection to the former part of this doctrine, and they speak very frequently of the " Merits of the Fathers " for which the remotest posterity is rewarded ; for this could be ...explained on the ground of the boundless goodness of God, which cannot be limited to the ishort space of a life- time. But there was no possibility of overcoming the moral objection against punishment of people for sins they have not committed.
It will suffice to mention here that, with reference to Joshua viL 24, 25, the Rabbis asked the question. If he THE DOCTRINE OF DIVINE RETRIBUTION 219 (Achan) sinned, what justification could there be for put- ting his sons and daughters to death ? And by the force of this argument they interpreted the words of the Script- ures to mean that the children of the criminal were only compelled to be present at the execution of their father.
