I, Hashem, have spoken: if I shall not do this to all this evil congregation that are gathered against Me — in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
Torah Temimah on ושם ימותו: R’ Akiva — wilderness generation has no share in the World to Come.
English: R’ Akiva says: The wilderness generation has no share in the World to Come and does not stand in judgment, as it is said: “In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die” — consumed in this world, and there they shall die regarding the World to Come.
Double reading of “they shall die.”
R’ Akiva derives exclusion from the World to Come from the doubled death language.
