Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(16) Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God.--In the LXX., "Thou shalt not tempt," and so where our Lord used it against the tempter (Matthew 4 and Luke 4).As ye tempted him in Massah.--How did they tempt Him in Massah? By raising the unbelieving question, "Is the Lord among us, or not?" (Exodus 17:7). Even by the side of Satan upon the giddy pinnacle of the Temple, our Saviour refused to doubt the care of Jehovah. He would not throw Himself from thence into the arms of the angels to escape Satan, but "He endured as seeing Him who is invisible." To this standard of action Israel was called in face of the powers of evil. But it was not always realised.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewDo notלֹ֣א (lō)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, notestתְנַסּ֔וּ (ṯə·nas·sū)Verb - Piel - Imperfect - second person masculine pluralStrong's 5254: To test, to attemptthe LORDיְהוָ֖ה (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israelyour Godאֱלֹהֵיכֶ֑ם (’ĕ·lō·hê·ḵem)Noun - masculine plural construct | second person masculine pluralStrong's 430: gods -- the supreme God, magistrates, a superlativeasכַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר (ka·’ă·šer)Preposition-k | Pronoun - relativeStrong's 834: Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order thatyou tested Himנִסִּיתֶ֖ם (nis·sî·ṯem)Verb - Piel - Perfect - second person masculine pluralStrong's 5254: To test, to attemptat Massah.בַּמַּסָּֽה׃ (bam·mas·sāh)Preposition-b, Article | Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 4532: Massah -- a place in the desert where Israelites rebelledJump to PreviousMassah Tempt Tempted Test Tested Tried Try
