Exegesis

The genitival phrase kol-hador {כָּל־הַדּוֹר | kol-haddôr} ‘all the generation’ sets the scope of judgment; the participle haʿoseh {הָעֹשֶׂ֥ה | hāʿōśēh} ‘doing’ with haʿra {הָרַע | hārāʿ} ‘evil’ describes the culpable group.

In contextNumbers 32:13

And the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness for forty years, until the entire generation who had done evil in the eyes of the LORD was finished.
