Deuteronomy 9 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Israel Provoked God

(Exo 32:1–35 )

“Hear^H8085, Israel^H3478! You are crossing^H5674 the Jordan^H3383 today^H3117, to go^H935 in^H935 to dispossess^H3423 nations^H1471 greater^H1419 and mightier^H6099 than^H4480 you, cities^H5892 that are great^H1419 and fortified^H1219 to heaven^H8064,

Deu 9:2

Deu 9:2a people who are great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know and of whom you have heard it said, ‘Who can stand against the sons of Anak?’

Deu 9:3

Deu 9:3“So be aware today that it is the LORD your God who is crossing over ahead of you as a consuming fire. He will destroy them and He will subdue them before you, so that you may drive them out and eliminate them quickly, just as the LORD has spoken to you.

Deu 9:4

“Do not say^H559 in your heart^H3824 when the LORD^H3068 your God^H430 has driven^H1920 them away^H1920 from [fn]you, ‘Because of my righteousness^H6666 the LORD^H3068 has brought^H935 me in^H935 to take^H3423 possession^H3423 of this^H2088 land^H776.’ Rather, it is because of the [fn]wickedness^H7564 of these^H428 nations^H1471 that the LORD^H3068 is dispossessing^H3423 them before^H4480^H6440 you.

Deu 9:5

Deu 9:5“It is not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart that you are going in to take possession of their land, [fn]but it is because of the [fn]wickedness of these nations that the LORD your God is driving them out from before you, and in order to confirm the [fn]oath which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Deu 9:6

“Know^H3045, then, that it is not because of your righteousness^H6666 that the LORD^H3068 your God^H430 is giving^H5414 you this^H2088 good^H2896 land^H776 to possess^H3423, for you are a [fn]stubborn^H7186^H6203 people^H5971.

Deu 9:7

Deu 9:7“Remember, do not forget how you provoked the LORD your God to anger in the wilderness; from the day that you left the land of Egypt until you arrived at this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD.

Deu 9:8

Deu 9:8“Even at Horeb you provoked the LORD to anger, and the LORD was so angry with you that He would have destroyed you.

Deu 9:9

Deu 9:9“When I went up to the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I remained on the mountain for forty days and nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water.

Deu 9:10

Deu 9:10“The LORD gave me the two tablets of stone written by the finger of God; and on them were all the words which the LORD had spoken with you at the mountain from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly.

Deu 9:11

Deu 9:11“It came about at the end of forty days and nights that the LORD gave me the two tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant.

Deu 9:12

Deu 9:12“Then the LORD said to me, ‘Arise, go down from here quickly, because your people, whom you brought out of Egypt, have behaved corruptly. They have quickly turned aside from the way that I commanded them; they have made a cast metal image for themselves.’

Deu 9:13

Deu 9:13“The LORD also said to [fn]me, ‘I have seen this people, and indeed, it is a [fn]stubborn people.

Deu 9:14

Deu 9:14‘Leave Me alone, that I may destroy them and wipe out their name from under heaven; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.’

Deu 9:15

“So I turned^H6437 and came^H3381 down^H3381 from the mountain^H2022 while the mountain^H2022 was burning^H1197 with fire^H784, and the two^H8147 tablets^H3871 of the covenant^H1285 were in my two^H8147 hands^H3027.

Deu 9:16

Deu 9:16“And I saw that you had indeed sinned against the LORD your God. You had made for yourselves a cast metal image of a calf; you had quickly turned aside from the way that the LORD had commanded you.

Deu 9:17

Deu 9:17“So I took hold of the two tablets and threw them from my two hands, and smashed them to pieces before your eyes!

Deu 9:18

Deu 9:18“Then I fell down before the LORD like the first time, for forty days and nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which you had committed by doing what was evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him to anger.

Deu 9:19

Deu 9:19“For I was afraid of the anger and the rage with which the LORD was angry with you so as to destroy you; but the LORD listened to me that time as well.

Deu 9:20

Deu 9:20“The LORD was also angry enough with Aaron to destroy him; so I also prayed for Aaron at the same time.

Deu 9:21

Deu 9:21“And I took your [fn]sinful thing which you had made, the calf, and burned it in the fire and crushed it, grinding it thoroughly until it was as fine as dust; and I threw its dust into the stream that came down from the mountain.

Deu 9:22

“Then at Taberah^H8404, at Massah^H4532, and at Kibroth-hattaavah^H6914 you kept provoking^H7107 the LORD^H3068 to^H7107 anger^H7107.

Deu 9:23

Deu 9:23“And when the LORD sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, ‘Go up and take possession of the land which I have given you,’ you rebelled against the [fn]command of the LORD your God; you neither trusted Him nor listened to His voice.

Deu 9:24

Deu 9:24“You have been rebellious toward the LORD since the day I knew you.

Deu 9:25

“So I fell^H5307 down^H5307 before^H6440 the LORD^H3068 for the forty^H705 days^H3117 and nights^H3915, which^H834 I [fn]did^H5307 because^H3588 the LORD^H3068 said^H559 He would destroy^H8045 you.

Deu 9:26

Deu 9:26“And I prayed to the LORD and said, ‘Lord GOD, do not destroy Your people, Your inheritance, whom You have redeemed through Your greatness, whom You have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand!

Deu 9:27

Deu 9:27‘Remember Your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; do not turn Your attention to the stubbornness of this people, or to their wickedness, or their sin.

Deu 9:28

Deu 9:28‘Otherwise, the people of the land from which You brought us will say, “Since the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which He had [fn]promised them, and since He hated them, He has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness!”

Deu 9:29

Deu 9:29‘Yet they are Your people, and Your inheritance, whom You brought out by Your great power and Your outstretched arm.’
