‏ Psalms 109:14

14 May his ancestors’ ^{▼▼tn Or “fathers’ sins.”} sins be remembered by the Lord.
May his mother’s sin not be forgotten. ^{▼▼tn Heb “not be wiped out.”} ^{▼▼sn According to ancient Israelite theology and its doctrine of corporate solidarity and responsibility, children could be and often were punished for the sins of their parents. For a discussion of this issue see J. Kaminsky, Corporate Responsibility in the Hebrew Bible (JSOTSup). (Kaminsky, however, does not deal with Ps 109.)}
