Deuteronomy 9:22-24
New English Translation
22 Moreover, you continued to provoke the Lord at Taberah,[a] Massah,[b] and Kibroth Hattaavah.[c] 23 And when he[d] sent you from Kadesh Barnea and told you, “Go up and possess the land I have given you,” you rebelled against the Lord your God[e] and would neither believe nor obey him. 24 You have been rebelling against him[f] from the very first day I knew you!

- Deuteronomy 9:22 sn Taberah. By popular etymology this derives from the Hebrew verb בָעַר (baʿar, “to burn”), thus, here, “burning.” The reference is to the Lord’s fiery wrath against Israel because of their constant complaints against him (Num 11:1-3).
- Deuteronomy 9:22 sn Massah. See note on this term in Deut 6:16.
- Deuteronomy 9:22 sn Kibroth Hattaavah. This place name means in Hebrew “burial places of appetite,” that is, graves that resulted from overindulgence. The reference is to the Israelites stuffing themselves with the quail God had provided and doing so with thanklessness (Num 11:31-35).
- Deuteronomy 9:23 tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 9:3.
- Deuteronomy 9:23 tn Heb “the mouth of the Lord your God,” that is, against the commandment that he had spoken.
- Deuteronomy 9:24 tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 9:3.
