Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God
By striving with him or against him, by murmuring at or
complaining of his providential dealings with them, or by
requiring a sign of him, or miracles to be done by him; this is
another passage used by Christ to repel the temptations of Satan,
( Matthew
4:7 ) ,
as tempted him in Massah;
a place so called from the Israelites tempting the Lord there, (
Exodus 17:7 )
, the Targum of Jonathan adds, with ten temptations; see (
Numbers
14:21 ) .
