Deuteronomio 9:7

7 Ricordati, non dimenticarti come tu hai fatto gravemente adirare il Signore Iddio tuo nel deserto; dal giorno che tu uscisti del paese di Egitto, finchè siete arrivati in questo luogo, voi siete stati ribelli contro al Signore.

Deuteronomio 9:7 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 9:7

Remember, and forget not how thou provokedst the Lord thy God
to wrath in the wilderness
Aben Ezra remarks that this was after they journeyed from Horeb; but before they came thither, even as soon as, they were in the wilderness, they provoked the Lord, as by their murmuring for water at Marah, when they had been but three days in the wilderness; and for bread in the wilderness of Sin, and for water again at Rephidim; all which were before they came to Horeb or Sinai, and which agrees with what follows:

from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt until ye
came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the Lord;
though they had such a series of mercies, yet their life was a continued course of rebellion against the Lord: which is a sad character of them indeed, and given by one that thoroughly knew them, was an eyewitness of facts, and had a hearty respect for them too, and cannot be thought to exaggerate things; so that they were far from being righteous persons in themselves, nor was there any reason to conclude it was for their righteousness the land of Canaan was given them.

Deuteronomio 9:7 In-Context

5 Tu non entri a possedere il lor paese per la tua giustizia, nè per la dirittura del cuor tuo; conciossiachè il Signore Iddio tuo scacci quelle genti d’innanzi a te, per la lor malvagità, e per attener la parola ch’egli ha giurata a’ tuoi padri, ad Abrahamo, a Isacco, e a Giacobbe.

6 Sappi adunque che il Signore Iddio tuo non ti dà a posseder questo buon paese, per la tua giustizia; conciossiachè tu sii un popolo di collo duro.

7 Ricordati, non dimenticarti come tu hai fatto gravemente adirare il Signore Iddio tuo nel deserto; dal giorno che tu uscisti del paese di Egitto, finchè siete arrivati in questo luogo, voi siete stati ribelli contro al Signore.

8 Eziandio in Horeb faceste gravemente adirare il Signore; talchè il Signore si crucciò contro a voi, per distruggervi; quando io salii in su la montagna,

9 per ricever le Tavole di pietra, le Tavole del Patto che il Signore avea fatto con voi; e dimorai in su la montagna quaranta giorni e quaranta notti, senza mangiar pane, nè bere acqua;
