Ulangan 1:26-27

Disobedience at Kadesh Barnea

1:26 You were not willing to go up, however, but instead rebelled against the Lord your God. ¹  1:27 You complained among yourselves privately ²  and said, “Because the Lord hates us he brought us from Egypt to deliver us over to the Amorites so they could destroy us!

Ulangan 1:43

1:43 I spoke to you, but you did not listen. Instead you rebelled against the Lord ³  and recklessly went up to the hill country.

[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.

[1:27]  ² tn Heb “in your tents,” that is, privately.

[1:43]  ³ tn Heb “the mouth of the Lord.” See note at 1:26.
