Does God Punish Us for Our Parents’ Sin?

“We also read in the book of Numbers that the Lord will ‘by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, to the third and the fourth generation’ (Num. 14:18). Yet in Deuteronomy, we read, ‘Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers.’” - Ligonier
