The sin of refusing to invade Canaan, "the pleasant land" (Jer 3:19; Eze 20:6; Dan 8:9), "the land of beauty," was punished by the destruction of that generation (Num 14:28), and the threat of dispersion (Deu 4:25; Deu 28:32) afterwards made to their posterity, and fulfilled in the great calamities now bewailed, may have also been then added.

JFB: Psa 106:24-27 - -- By which He promised He would give them the land; but rather the word of the faithless spies (compare Psa 78:22).
By which He promised He would give them the land; but rather the word of the faithless spies (compare Psa 78:22).

JFB: Psa 106:27 - -- The "wilderness" was not more destructive to the fathers (Psa 106:26) than residence among the heathen ("nations") shall be to the children. Lev 26:33...
The "wilderness" was not more destructive to the fathers (Psa 106:26) than residence among the heathen ("nations") shall be to the children. Lev 26:33, Lev 26:38 is here, before the Psalmist's mind, the determination against the "seed" when rebellious, being not expressed in Num 14:31-33, but implied in the determination against the fathers.

To overthrow their seed also among the nations - Margin, as in Hebrew, "to make them fall;"to wit, among the surrounding people. The reference here is to the posterity of those who complained and fell in the wilderness. The result of their rebellion and complaining would not terminate with them. It would extend to their posterity, and the rebellion of the fathers would be remembered in distant generations. The overthrow of the nation, and its captivity in Babylon was thus one of the remote consequences of their rebellion in the wilderness.
And to scatter them in the lands - In foreign lands - as at Babylon. If this psalm was written at the time of the Babylonian captivity, this allusion would be most appropriate. It would remind the nation that its captivity there had its origin in the ancient and long-continued disposition of the people to revolt from God.
Poole -> Psa 106:27
Poole: Psa 106:27 - -- To overthrow their seed he sware also (though not at the same time) that he would punish their sins, not only in their persons, but also in their pos...
To overthrow their seed he sware also (though not at the same time) that he would punish their sins, not only in their persons, but also in their posterity. See Exo 20:5 32:34 Lev 26:33 . Others refer this to the same oath and history, Nu 14 , because God intended at first to destroy both parents and children, even the whole nation, Psa 106:12,15 , though afterwards upon Moses’ s intercession he limited the judgment to that generation. But that destruction threatened was by the pestilence , Psa 106:12 , not, as here, by captivity and banishment. Besides, God said that, Psa 106:11 , but he did not swear it, but the oath came afterward, Psa 106:21 .

Gill -> Psa 106:27

To overthrow their seed also among the nations,.... Their posterity was not overthrown in the wilderness; they were spared to possess the land their fathers despised. This respects later times, as does what follows:
and to scatter them in the lands; which Kimchi explains by the discomfiture of them by the Amalekites and Canaanites, when they presumed, contrary to the will of God, to go up to the top of the hill; and by Arad's taking some of them prisoner, afterwards, Num 14:45. But this was not done, nor to be done, in the wilderness: but the meaning is, that God lifted up his hand in the wilderness, and sware there, as Ezekiel says, Eze 20:23, that he would scatter them and disperse them among the Heathen; that is, at one time or another; which he did in part at the Babylonish captivity, and completely by the Romans: which is now their case, and is a standing proof of this prophecy, and an accomplishment of the oath of God.
