Commentary on Deuteronomy 24:16
Theological / DevotionalEvery man. It was not unusual among the heathen to condemn an entire family for the crime of one member (see Daniel 6:24). But God would have the transgressor himself bear the full penalty of his crime (2 Kings 14:6; Ezekiel 18:10—24). The Scriptures draw a clear line of distinction between a penalty inflicted for a wrong act, as here (see also Romans 6:23), and the natural results of such an act (Exodus 20:5).
