Deuteronomy 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!

[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.
