Warnings against disobeying

Deu 6:10–25

10Your god Yahweh promised your ancestors Abraham,[ref] Yitshak,[ref] and Yakov,[ref] that he’d give you large, prosperous cities that you didn’t have to build, 11houses full of every good thing that you didn’t have to collect, wells that you didn’t have to dig, and vineyards and olive groves that you didn’t have to plant. You’ll be able to eat and be satisfied, 12but be sure to never forget that it was Yahweh who rescued you from slavery in Egypt. 13You must honour your god Yahweh and only serve him and only make promises using his name.[ref] 14Don’t go trying to follow other gods—the gods of the surrounding countries—15because your god Yahweh who lives among you is a jealous god. You wouldn’t want him to get angry with you and totally destroy you.

16Don’t test the patience of your god Yahweh again like you all did over water at Massah.[ref] 17Be sure to follow all his instructions and rules and regulations that he’s given you. 18Do what Yahweh says is right and good so that things will go well for you and you’ll be able to enter the good land that he promised to your ancestors and take possession of it—19driving out all your enemies from that land just as Yahweh has said.

20In the future when your children ask you, ‘Why did our god Yahweh our God command us to obey all these rules and decrees?’ 21then you can tell them, ‘We were Far-oh’s slaves in Egypt, but Yahweh used his incredible power to get us out of there. 22He did many kinds of miracles that devastated that Egyptian king and his whole household, 23then he took us out of there, so he could bring us here to give us the land that he’d promised to our ancestors. 24Yahweh ordered us to follow all these instructions to demonstrate that we honour him so that things will go well for us and he’ll protect our nation as he’s doing now. 25Our god Yahweh will declare us to be innocent of wrong if we obey everything that he’s instructed us.’

Exo 17:1-7:

17Then all the Israelis moved on from Siyn in the wilderness, travelling following Yahweh’s instructions. They camped at Refidim but there was no water for the people to drink.[ref] 2So the people argued with Mosheh again, saying, “Give us water to drink!”

“Why are you all quarrelling with me?” Mosheh answered. “Why are you all testing Yahweh?”

3But the people were very thirsty there and they murmured against Mosheh, so he demanded, “Is this why you brought us out of Egypt? To kill me and my sons and my cattle with thirst?” ???

4Mosheh cried out to Yahweh, asking, “What should I do for these people? It won’t take much more and they’ll stone me.”

5“Walk on ahead of the people,” Yahweh told Mosheh, “and take some of the Israeli elders with you, and your staff—the one which you struck the river with. Take it in your hand and go. 6Watch me. I will stand in front of you there on the rock at Horev (Mt. Sinai). Then you will strike the rock and water will come out of it, and the people will drink.” So Mosheh did that while the Israeli elders watched.

7Mosheh named that place bothMassah(which means ‘testing’) and ‘Meribah(which means ‘complaining’), because of the conflict among the Israelis and because of how they tested of Yahweh by saying, ‘Is Yahweh among us or not?’
