UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

challenged and defied

(Some words not found in UHB: and,tested and,rebelled_against DOM ʼElohīm most_high and,decrees,his not keep )

These words mean almost the same thing. The writer uses them both to emphasize that the Israelites did not believe that God would either provide for them or punish evil as he had said he would.

challenged

(Some words not found in UHB: and,tested and,rebelled_against DOM ʼElohīm most_high and,decrees,his not keep )

They wanted God to prove that he could do what he said he would do before they would believe him. See how you translated this idea in Psalms 78:18.

defied

(Some words not found in UHB: and,tested and,rebelled_against DOM ʼElohīm most_high and,decrees,his not keep )

refused to obey
