Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the Lord said, I have pardoned, according to thy word. So as not to kill them utterly as one man: which is an instance of his being plenteous in mercy, and ready to forgive; and of the virtue and efficacy of the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man, and of the great regard the Lord has to the prayers of a good man for others. The Jerusalem Targum is,
"and the Word of the Lord said, lo, I have remitted and forgiven according to thy word;''
which must be understood of Christ, the essential Word, and shows, according to the sense of the Targumist, that he has a power to forgive sin, and must be a divine Person, for none can forgive sin but God; see Mark 2:7.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Numbers 14:20. I have pardoned — That is, They shall not be cut off as they deserve, because thou hast interceded for their lives.
