Deuteronomy 9:7

The History of Israel’s Stubbornness

9:7 Remember – don’t ever forget 1  – 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. 2 

Nehemiah 9:26

9:26 “Nonetheless they grew disobedient and rebelled against you; they disregarded your law. 3  They killed your prophets who had solemnly admonished them in order to cause them to return to you. They committed atrocious blasphemies.

Isaiah 63:10

63:10 But they rebelled and offended 4  his holy Spirit, 5 

so he turned into an enemy

and fought against them.

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

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

3 tn Heb “they cast your law behind their backs.”

4 tn Or “grieved, hurt the feelings of.”

5 sn The phrase “holy Spirit” occurs in the OT only here (in v. 11 as well) and in Ps 51:11 (51:13 HT), where it is associated with the divine presence.
