Deuteronomy 9:21-23

²¹It was a sin for you to make that idol, so I threw it into the fire to melt it down. Then I took the lump of gold, ground it into powder, and threw the powder into the stream flowing down the mountain.

²²^(A) You also made the Lord angry when you were staying at Taberah,^[a] at Massah,^[b] and at Kibroth-Hattaavah.^[c] ²³^(B) Then at Kadesh-Barnea the Lord said, “I am giving you the land, so go ahead and take it!” But since you didn't trust the Lord, you rebelled and disobeyed his command.^[d]
