Ulangan 1:26

Disobedience at Kadesh Barnea

1:26 You were not willing to go up, however, but instead rebelled against the Lord your God. ¹ 

Ulangan 9:7

The History of Israel’s Stubbornness

9:7 Remember – don’t ever forget ²  – how you provoked the Lord your God in the desert; from the time you left the land of Egypt until you came to this place you were constantly rebelling against him. ³ 

Ulangan 9:23-24

9:23 And when he ⁴  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 ⁵  and would neither believe nor obey him. 9:24 You have been rebelling against him ⁶  from the very first day I knew you!

[1:26]  ¹ tn Heb “the mouth of the Lord your God.” To include “the mouth” would make for odd English style. The mouth stands by metonymy for the Lord’s command, which in turn represents the Lord himself.

[9:7]  ² tn By juxtaposing the positive זְכֹר (zekhor, “remember”) with the negative אַל־תִּשְׁכַּח (’al-tishÿkakh, “do not forget”), Moses makes a most emphatic plea.

[9:7]  ³ tn Heb “the Lord” (likewise in the following verse with both “him” and “he”). See note on “he” in 9:3.

[9:23]  ⁴ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 9:3.

[9:23]  ⁵ tn Heb “the mouth of the Lord your God,” that is, against the commandment that he had spoken.

[9:24]  ⁶ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 9:3.
