Collective Punishment
Exegetical Approaches
Innocent also Punished
Sometimes Hashem collectively punishes the entire group and the innocent suffer together with the guilty.
Slightly Guilty Punished
When Hashem inflicts punishment, those who are totally innocent are never included. However, individuals who are guilty by association, or culpable to even a small degree, might be included in the punishment of a worse sinner.
Only the Sinners are Punished
Hashem only punishes the deserving and does not collectively punish anyone for a crime in which they played no part.
