Wisdom From the Ages

The Lord is long-suffering; and of great mercy; forgiving iniquity and transgressions and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations. (Numbers 14:18)

In our every deliberation, we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations. (from The Great Law of the Iroquois Confederacy)

Might these two passages be saying virtually the same thing?
