_ _ The fathers shall not be put to death for the children — The rule was addressed for the guidance of magistrates, and it established the equitable principle that none should be responsible for the crimes of others.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Deuteronomy 24:16

Not put to death — If the one be free from the guilt of the others sin, except in those cases where the sovereign Lord of life and death, before whom none is innocent, hath commanded it, as Deu. 13:1-18; Joshua 7:24. For though God do visit the father's sins upon the children, Exodus 20:5, yet he will not suffer men to do so.
