Commentary for Avodah Zarah 9:8
והכתיב (דברים ה, כו) למען ייטב להם ולבניהם וגו' לאותן העומדים על הר סיני
And is it not also said, “That it might be well with them and with their children” (Deuteronomy 5:25)? It refers to the children of those who stood at Sinai.
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
A verse from Deuteronomy seems to imply that God planned for the Israelites to have descendants even before the sin with the golden calf. But this too can be interpreted as referring only to the children born before the revelation on Sinai.
