Context — Moses' Warning to the Israelitesgenerated

42But the LORD said to me, “Tell them not to go up and fight, for I am not with you to keep you from defeat by your enemies.”
43So I spoke to you, but you would not listen. You rebelled against the command of the LORD and presumptuously went up into the hill country.
44Then the Amorites who lived in the hills came out against you and chased you like a swarm of bees. They routed you from Seir all the way to Hormah.
45And you returned and wept before the LORD, but He would not listen to your voice or give ear to you.

Deuteronomy 1:43 reflects on the Israelites' refusal to heed God's voice, emphasizing their rebellion against His command. This passage serves as a reminder of the consequences of disobedience, as Moses recounts their presumptuous actions in defiance of God's instructions, which ultimately led to their defeat.

The Key Word תַּמְרוּ, tamrugenerated

The verb מָרָה (marah) means to rebel or resist authority. It indicates a defiance against God's commands, which is a serious matter in the biblical context. The parsing shows it is in the Hiphil stem, which often implies causative action, suggesting that the Israelites actively chose to rebel against God's authority.

This word appears in contexts where individuals oppose or disobey God, highlighting a pattern of resistance that leads to negative consequences. The frequency of its use underscores its significance in the narrative of Israel's relationship with God.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The finite verb וָאֲדַבֵּ֥ר, va'adaber, governs the entire verse, indicating that Moses is the one speaking. This structure emphasizes the direct communication from Moses to the Israelites.

The sentence contains multiple clauses, with the main action being Moses' speaking, followed by the Israelites' refusal to listen and their subsequent rebellion. The order of the clauses highlights the progression from communication to disobedience.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates וָאֲדַבֵּ֥ר as ἐλάλησα, which means 'I spoke'. This choice reflects a straightforward rendering of the Hebrew verb, maintaining the focus on Moses as the speaker.

The Greek term παρέβητε for תַּמְרוּ indicates a similar sense of rebellion, aligning with the Hebrew meaning while also suggesting a breach of trust or command.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran

The Masoretic Text is supported by the Septuagint, which matches 10 of the 11 words. The Samaritan Pentateuch differs in three words, using אדברה (speak), אלהיכם (your god(s)), and תזידו (be presumptuous). The Dead Sea Scrolls show one word on the leather, with ten supplied by an editor, but generally align with the Masoretic Text.

אֵת (eth) is primarily a grammatical marker in Hebrew, indicating the definite direct object of a verb. It is not translated into English and typically precedes nouns that are definite.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'
