Deuteronomy 6:16
"Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God,.... By striving with him or against him, by murmuring at or complaining of his providential dealings with them, or by requiring a

sign of him, or miracles to be done by him; this is another passage used by Christ to repel the temptations of Satan, Mat 4:7 , as tempted him in Massah; a place so called from the Israelites tempting the Lord there, Exo 17:7 , the Targum of Jonathan adds, with ten temptations; see Num 14:21 .
