TSK · Hebrews 3:8

But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and did not listen to them, just as the LORD had predicted.

The Punishment from God The LORD said to Moses,“How long will this people despise me, and how long will they not believe in me, in spite of the signs that I have done among them?

Exhortation to Obey the Lord Exclusively You must not put the LORD your God to the test as you did at Massah.

Why harden your hearts like the Egyptians and Pharaoh did? When God treated them harshly, didn’t the Egyptians send the Israelites on their way?

Now, don’t be stubborn like your fathers! Submit to the LORD and come to his sanctuary which he has permanently consecrated. Serve the LORD your God so that he might relent from his raging anger.

“But they– our ancestors– behaved presumptuously; they rebelled and did not obey your commandments.

“But they refused to pay attention, turning away stubbornly and stopping their ears so they could not hear.

But when some were stubborn and refused to believe, reviling the Way before the congregation, he left them and took the disciples with him, addressing them every day in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.

And let us not put Christ to the test, as some of them did, and were destroyed by snakes.
