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?”

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?”

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

He called the name of the place Massah and Meribah, because of the contending of the Israelites and because of their testing the LORD, saying,“ Is the LORD among us or not?”

He called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because the children of Israel quarreled, and because they tested Yahweh, saying,“ Is Yahweh among us, or not?”

You called out when you were in trouble, and I saved you. I answered you out of a thundercloud. I tested you at the waters of Meribah.

Those were the waters of Meribah. That’s where the Israelites argued with the Lord. And that’s where he was proven to be holy among them.

He says,“ Don’t be stubborn as you were at Meribah. Don’t be stubborn as you were that day at Massah in the desert.

You also made the Lord angry at Taberah, Massah and Kibroth Hattaavah.

So they argued with Moses. They said,“ Give us water to drink.” Moses replied,“ Why are you arguing with me? Why are you testing the Lord?”

If you hear it, don’t be stubborn. You were stubborn when you opposed me. You did that when you were tested in the desert.There your people of long ago tested me. Yet for 40 years they saw what I did.

“ This is the same Moses who spoke to the Israelites.‘ God will send you a prophet,’ he said.‘ He will be like me. He will come from your own people.’( Deuteronomy 18:15)Moses was with the Israelites in the desert. He was with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai. Moses was with our people of long ago. He received living words to pass on to us.“ But our people refused to obey Moses. They would not accept him. In their hearts, they wished they were back in Egypt.

“ Aaron will join the members of his family who have already died. He will not enter the land I am giving to the Israelites. Both of you refused to obey my command. You did it at the waters of Meribah.

The Word became a human being. He made his home with us. We have seen his glory. It is the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father. And the Word was full of grace and truth.

Phinehas the priest spoke to the tribes of Reuben, Gad and Manasseh. Phinehas was the son of Eleazar. He said,“ Today we know that the Lord is with us. That’s because you have been faithful to him in this matter. Now you have saved the Israelites from the Lord’ s anger against them.”

“ Lord,” he said,“ if you are pleased with me, then go with us. Even though these people are stubborn, forgive the evil things we have done. Forgive our sin. And accept us as your people.”

People of Zion, give a loud shout! Sing for joy! The Holy One of Israel is among you. And he is great.”

Your judges take money from people who want special favors. Your priests teach only if they get paid for it. Your prophets won’t tell fortunes unless they receive money. But you still look for the Lord’ s help. You say,“ The Lord is with us. No trouble will come on us.”

In that day I will become angry with them. I will desert them. I will turn my face away from them. And they will be destroyed. Many horrible troubles and hard times will come on them. On that day they will say,‘ Trouble has come on us. Our God isn’t with us!’
