The Key Word — נִ֭סּוּנִי, Ni.su.nigenerated
The Hebrew word נִסּוּ (*nisu*) is a piel perfect form of the verb נָסָה (*nasah*), meaning 'to test' or 'to try.' It conveys the action of putting something to the test, often to prove its quality or character. The parsing indicates that it is used in the third person plural, referring to the ancestors testing God.
In this context, the word emphasizes the act of challenging God's authority and reliability, despite having witnessed His powerful acts. The use of the perfect tense suggests a completed action, highlighting the historical significance of their testing.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
In the Berean Standard Bible, the phrase is rendered as tested, which aligns with the KJV and ASV.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb נִ֭סּוּ governs the main clause, indicating the action performed by the ancestors. The structure includes additional clauses that describe the actions of testing and seeing, creating a layered understanding of the events.
The phrase אֲבוֹתֵיכֶם is in the construct form, linking it to the subject of the testing, while the verbs בְּחָנ֗וּ and רָא֥וּ serve as actions that further elaborate on the ancestors' relationship with God.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates נִ֭סּוּ as ἐπείρασαν (*epeirasan*), which carries a similar meaning of testing or trying. This choice reflects the translators' understanding of the act as a challenge to God's authority.
The use of ἐπείρασαν suggests a direct engagement with the divine, emphasizing the seriousness of the ancestors' actions.

But it suits the context better to render, Though they had seen my work. (For the construction cp. Nehemiah 6:1.)
