Heb 3:7-11:
7 Therefore the holy spirit says:
8 don’t harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion,
in the time of testing in the wilderness
9 where your ancestors tested me through trials,
although they saw my actions 10 over forty years.
That’s why I was angry with that generation and I said:
‘They’re always straying in their hearts and they don’t really know my ways.’
3:7-11: Psa 95:7-11 (LXX).
Exo 17:1-7:
17 Then all the Israelis moved on from Sin in the wilderness, travelling following Yahweh’s instructions. They camped at Refidim but there was no water for the people to drink.[ref] 2 So the people argued with Mosheh (Moses) again, saying, “Give us water to drink!”
“Why are you all quarrelling with me?” Mosheh answered. “Why are you all testing Yahweh?”
3 But the people were very thirsty there and they murmured against Mosheh, so he demanded, “Is this why you brought us out of Mitsrayim (Egypt)? To kill me and my sons and my cattle with thirst?” ???
4 Mosheh cried out to Yahweh, asking, “What should I do for these people? It won’t take much more and they’ll kill 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. 6 Watch me. I will stand in front of you there on the rock at Horev. 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.
7 Mosheh named that place both ‘Masah’ (which means ‘testing’) and ‘Merivah’ (which means ‘complaining’), because of the conflict among the Israelis and because of how they tested Yahweh by saying, ‘Is Yahweh among us or not?’
Num 20:2-13:
2 However, there was no water to drink, so the people came against Mosheh (Moses) and Aharon (Aaron)[ref] 3 and complained, “It would have been better if we’d died in front of Yahweh along with our relatives back there. 4 Why did you two bring Yahweh’s people here to die in this wilderness, along with our livestock? 5 Why did you bring us out of Mitsrayim (Egypt) to bring us to this miserable place? There’s no grain or figs, and no grapes or pomegranates. There’s not even water to drink!” 6 Then Mosheh and Aharon went from there in front of the people to the entrance to the sacred tent, where they fell to their knees with their faces to the ground, and Yahweh’s brilliance appeared to them.
7 Then Yahweh told Mosheh, 8 “Take Aharon’s staff, then the two of you must command that rock to pour out water. Then water will come out of it, and both the people and the animals will have plenty to drink.”
9 So Mosheh took the staff from Yahweh’s residence like he was told to. 10 Then the two of them gathered the people in front of the rock and told them, “Listen now you bunch of rebels—do we have to bring water out of this rock for you?” 11 Then Mosheh raised the staff and hit the rock twice, and water gushed out, and so the people and their animals were able to drink.
12 Then Yahweh scolded Mosheh and Aharon, “Because you two publicly demonstrated that you didn’t believe that what I say is absolute truth, therefore you two won’t lead this community into the land that I’ve given them.”
13 That spring was named ‘Merivah’ (meaning ‘Quarrelling’) because that was where the Israelis argued with Yahweh, and where he demonstrated his absolute truthfulness to them.
Num 14:20-23:
20 “I’ve forgiven as per your request,” Yahweh replied, 21 “however, as surely as I live and as all the land is filled with Yahweh’s light, 22 and despite them all seeing my power and the miracles that I did both in Mitsrayim and in the wilderness, they’ve now tested me many times and haven’t done what I told them, 23 so there’s no way that they’ll enter the land that I promised to their ancestors. All those who despised me won’t get to enter it.
Deu 1:34-36:
Yisrael’s punishment
34 “Yahweh heard those complaints and got angry and made this promise,[ref] 35 ‘None of the men of this evil generation will get to enter the good land that I promised to give to your ancestors 36 apart from Yefuneh’s son Kalev (Caleb)—he can enter it and I’ll give him and his sons the land that he scouted out because he followed Yahweh whole-heartedly.’
Heb 4:3-5:
3 So those of us who believed are entering that rest, as he said:
‘As I promised in my severe anger,
They will never enter into my rest.’[ref]
And yet he’s had it ready since the creation of the world. 4 Because somewhere he’s spoken about the seventh day saying:
‘And on the seventh day God rested from all his works.’[ref]
‘They will never enter my rest.’[ref]
Deu 12:9-10:
9 because until now, you haven’t reached the inheritance and the peaceful life that your god Yahweh is giving to you. 10 After you all cross the Yarden (Jordan) and live in the land that your god Yahweh is giving you as an inheritance, it’s then that he’ll give you peace from all your surrounding enemies, and so you’ll all live safely.
