Context — The Golden Calf
22You continued to provoke the LORD at Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah.
23And when the LORD sent you out from Kadesh-barnea, He said, “Go up and possess the land that I have given you.” But you rebelled against the command of the LORD your God. You neither believed Him nor obeyed Him.
24You have been rebelling against the LORD since the day I came to know you.
25So I fell down before the LORD for forty days and forty nights, because the LORD had said He would destroy you. 26And I prayed to the LORD and said, “O Lord GOD, do not destroy Your people, Your inheritance, whom You redeemed through Your greatness and brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.Cross References

Deuteronomy 9:24 Summary
Deuteronomy 9:24 means that the Israelites had been disobeying God's commands from the time Moses started leading them. This shows that they had a pattern of rebellion against God, which is also seen in other parts of the Bible, such as in 1 Samuel 15:23 and Proverbs 28:13. Just like the Israelites, we can also rebel against God by not obeying His commands, but we can learn from their mistakes and choose to follow God's will, as encouraged in Psalm 37:3-4 and Jeremiah 7:23. By doing so, we can experience God's mercy and patience, just like the Israelites did, as seen in Deuteronomy 9:25-26.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is meant by 'rebelled against the LORD' in Deuteronomy 9:24?
Rebelling against the LORD means to disobey or defy God's commands and will, as seen in Deuteronomy 9:23 where the Israelites refused to obey God's command to possess the land. This kind of rebellion is also warned against in Proverbs 28:13 and 1 Samuel 15:23.
Why does Moses say 'since the day I came to know you' in Deuteronomy 9:24?
Moses is emphasizing that from the moment he began to lead the Israelites, they consistently showed a pattern of disobedience and rebellion against God, as also noted in Deuteronomy 9:22-23. This highlights the long history of their unfaithfulness to God.
How does Deuteronomy 9:24 relate to the concept of sin and disobedience in the Bible?
Deuteronomy 9:24 illustrates the Bible's teaching that sin is a fundamental rebellion against God, as stated in Romans 3:23 and Psalm 51:4. This verse shows that the Israelites' actions were not just mistakes, but a deliberate refusal to obey God's commands.
What is the significance of Moses' statement in Deuteronomy 9:24 for our understanding of God's character?
Moses' statement highlights God's holiness and justice, as He cannot tolerate rebellion and disobedience, as seen in Exodus 34:6-7 and Deuteronomy 32:4. It also shows God's patience and mercy, as He continued to work with the Israelites despite their rebellion, as seen in Deuteronomy 9:25-26.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I may be rebelling against God's will in my own life, and how can I surrender to His commands?
- How does remembering my past sins and failures help me to appreciate God's mercy and patience, as seen in Deuteronomy 9:24-26?
- In what ways can I cultivate a heart of obedience and faithfulness to God, as encouraged in Deuteronomy 9:23 and Proverbs 28:13?

Gill's Exposition on Deuteronomy 9:24
You have been rebellious against the Lord from the day that I knew you.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Deuteronomy 9:24
And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hatta'avah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath. No JFB commentary on these verses.
Trapp's Commentary on Deuteronomy 9:24
Deuteronomy 9:24 Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.Ver. 24. You have been rebellious.] Here he repeats the former charge, which now he had sufficiently proved against them: we must object no more against any man than we are able to make good. If Erasmus had lived to these days, very shame would have crammed those words of his down his throat: Ubicunque regnat Lutherus, ibi literature est interitus: duo tantum quaerunt, censure et uxorem. Wheresoever Luther’ s doctrine takes place, learning is little set by; all the care is for a wife, and for wealth. Os durum! Erasmus, Ep. ad Bilibald.
Ellicott's Commentary on Deuteronomy 9:24
(24) Ye have been rebellious against the Lord from the day that I knew you.—This is one side of the truth. The other may be found in the words of Balaam, which Jehovah Himself put into his mouth: “He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, nor seen perverseness in Israel” (Numbers 23:21). (See also Deuteronomy 31:16.)
Cambridge Bible on Deuteronomy 9:24
24. Ye have been rebellious] As in Deuteronomy 9:7.
