And he called the place Massah and Meribah because the Israelites quarreled and because they tested the Lord saying,“ Is the Lord among us or not?”

Moses called the place Massah and Meribah. That’s because the people of Israel argued with him there. They also tested the Lord. They asked,“ Is the Lord among us or not?”

And he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah, because of the quarreling of the people of Israel, and because they tested the Lord by saying,“ Is the Lord among us or not?”

Moses named the place Massah( which means“ test”) and Meribah( which means“ arguing”) because the people of Israel argued with Moses and tested the Lord by saying,“ Is the Lord here with us or not?”

He named the place Massah and Meribah because the Israelites complained, and because they tested the LORD, saying,“ Is the LORD among us or not?”

Then he named the place Massah and Meribah because of the quarrel of the sons of Israel, and because they tested the Lord, saying,“ Is the Lord among us, or not?”

So he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah, because of the contention of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying,“ Is the Lord among us or not?”

And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the striving of the children of Israel, and because they tempted Jehovah, saying, Is Jehovah among us, or not?

He named the place Massah and Meribah because the Israelites complained, and because they tested the Lord, saying,“ Is the Lord among us or not?”

In your distress you called out and I rescued you. I answered you from a dark thundercloud. I tested you at the waters of Meribah.( Selah)

These are the waters of Meribah, because the Israelites contended with the LORD, and his holiness was maintained among them.

He says,“ Do not be stubborn like they were at Meribah, like they were that day at Massah in the wilderness,

Moreover, you continued to provoke the LORD at Taberah, Massah, and Kibroth-Hattaavah.

So the people contended with Moses, and they said,“ Give us water to drink!” Moses said to them,“ Why do you contend with me? Why do you test the LORD?”

“ Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness.“ There your fathers tested me and tried me, and they saw my works for forty years.

This is the Moses who said to the Israelites,‘ God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers.’This is the man who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and with our ancestors, and he received living oracles to give to you.Our ancestors were unwilling to obey him, but pushed him aside and turned back to Egypt in their hearts,

“ Aaron will be gathered to his ancestors, for he will not enter into the land I have given to the Israelites because both of you rebelled against my word at the waters of Meribah.

Now the Word became flesh and took up residence among us. We saw his glory– the glory of the one and only, full of grace and truth, who came from the Father.

Phinehas, son of Eleazar, the priest, said to the Reubenites, Gadites, and the Manassehites,“ Today we know that the LORD is among us, because you have not disobeyed the LORD in this. Now you have rescued the Israelites from the LORD’s judgment.”

and said,“ If now I have found favor in your sight, O Lord, let my Lord go among us, for we are a stiff-necked people; pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.”

Cry out and shout for joy, O citizens of Zion, for the Holy One of Israel acts mightily among you!”

Her leaders take bribes when they decide legal cases, her priests proclaim rulings for profit, and her prophets read omens for pay. Yet they claim to trust the LORD and say,“ The LORD is among us. Disaster will not overtake us!”

At that time my anger will erupt against them and I will abandon them and hide my face from them until they are devoured. Many disasters and distresses will overcome them so that they will say at that time,‘ Have not these disasters overcome us because our God is not among us?’
