Deuteronomy 9:22-24 -

Not only at Horeb, but at other places and on other occasions, had Israel provoked the Lord to wrath by their contumacy. At Taberah, by their complaining and discontent ( Numbers 11:1-3 ); at Massah, by their murmuring because of the want of water ( Exodus 17:1-16 . l, etc.); at Kibroth-hattaavah , by despising the manna, and lusting for flesh to eat ( Numbers 11:4 , etc.); and at Kadesh-barnea , when on the confines of the Promised Land, they distrusted God, reproached him for having brought them there to be destroyed, and sought to return to Egypt ( Numbers 14:1 , etc.; Deuteronomy 1:26 ). "The list is not arranged chronologically, but advances from the smaller to the morn serious forms of guilt: For Moses was seeking to sharpen the consciences of the people, and to impress upon them the fact that they had been rebellious against the Lord (see at Deuteronomy 9:7 ) from the very beginning, 'from the day that I knew you'" (Keil).
