Deuteronomy 6:16

Do not test the Lord your God as you tested Him at Massah.

Jesus told him, “It is also written: Do not test the Lord your God.”

And Jesus answered him, “It is said: Do not test the Lord your God.”

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?”

So the people complained to Moses, “Give us water to drink.”

“Why are you complaining to me?” Moses replied to them. “Why are you testing the Lord?”

Let us not test Christ as some of them did and were destroyed by snakes.

do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
on the day of testing in the wilderness,

The people quarreled with Moses and said, “If only we had perished when our brothers perished before the Lord.

These are the waters of Meribah, where the Israelites quarreled with the Lord, and He showed His holiness to them.

Then they set out from Mount Hor by way of the Red Sea to bypass the land of Edom, but the people became impatient because of the journey.

Do not harden your hearts as at Meribah,
as on that day at Massah in the wilderness
