Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
Your children, which in that day had no knowledge. All ancient versions read 'today' instead of "that day;", and the sense is, 'your children who now know,' or 'who know not as yet good or evil.' Since the children had not been partakers of the sinful outbreak, they were spared to obtain the privilege which their unbelieving parents had forfeited. God's ways are not man's ways.
