Deuteronomy 9:22

22 in Incendio quoque et in Temptatione et in sepulchris Concupiscentiae provocastis Dominum

Deuteronomy 9:22 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 9:22

And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, ye
provoked the Lord to wrath.
] These places are not mentioned in the strict order in which the provocations were made at them; for they provoked the Lord at Massah by murmuring for water, before they provoked him at Taberah, by complaining as it should seem of their journeying; for Massah was before they came to Sinai, and Taberah after they departed from thence; though some, as Aben Ezra observes, say that Taberah is Massah; but it could not be the Massah in Rephidim, for that was on one side of Mount Sinai, and Taberah on another; though different places might be so called from their tempting the Lord at them; rather Taberah and Kibrothhattaavah seem to be the same; where the people died with the flesh in their mouths they lusted after, and were buried; since no mention is made of their removal at that time from the one place to the other, nor of Taberah in the account of their journeys, only Kibrothhattaavah; see ( Exodus 17:7 ) ( Numbers 11:8 Numbers 11:34 ) .

22 in Incendio quoque et in Temptatione et in sepulchris Concupiscentiae provocastis Dominum

23 et quando misit vos de Cadesbarne dicens ascendite et possidete terram quam dedi vobis et contempsistis imperium Domini Dei vestri et non credidistis ei neque vocem eius audire voluistis

24 sed semper fuistis rebelles a die qua nosse vos coepi
