Deuteronomy Chapter 9 Sets the Reminder of Not Forgetting Their Status of Not Being Righteous and Cause of G-d’s Wrath — Idol Worship Spawned from Disobedience

The Wrath Of G-d Is Upon Those Who Disobey His Commandments

Nowhere in the Hebrew Scripture (Old Testament) that G-d ever commanded through His servants the prophets that His Instructions, Teachings, Statutes, Laws, Decrees and Ordinances are or will be null and void or obsolete as the Greek book – New Testament claims.

Those who disobey G-d are called “Rebels.”

Choose and decide which will you follow: G-d’s direct command or Man-made abolition of G-d’s Law?

“Remembering the Exodus and the Tribulations in the Wilderness”
“Receiving the Tablets”
“A Stiff-necked People”
“Repeated Rebelliousness”

Hear, O Israel, today you cross the Jordan, to come and drive out nations that are greater and mightier than you, cities that are great and fortified up to the heavens,
9:1
a great and lofty people, children of giants, that you knew and of whom you have heard, “Who can stand up against the children of the giant?”
9:2
But you know today that Hashem, your God – He crosses before you, a consuming fire; He will destroy them and He will subjugate them before you; you will drive them out and cause them to perish quickly, as Hashem spoke to you.
9:3
Do not say in your heart, when Hashem pushes them away before you, saying, “Because of my righteousness did Hashem bring me to possess this Land and because of the wickedness of these nations did Hashem drive them away from before you.”
:4
Not because of your righteousness and the uprightness of your heart are you coming to possess their Land, but because of the wickedness of these nations does Hashem, your God, drive them away from before you, and in order to establish the word that Hashem swore to your forefathers, to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob.
:5
Remember, do not forget, that you provoked Hashem, your God, in the Wilderness; from the day you left the land of Egypt until your arrival at this place, you have been rebels against Hashem.
:7
And Hashem gave me the two stone Tablets, inscribed with the finger of Hashem, and on them were all the words that Hashem spoke with you on the mountain from the midst of the fire, on the day of the congregation.
:10
Hashem said to me, saying, “I have seen this people, and behold! It is a stiff-necked people.
:13
Then I saw and behold! you had sinned to Hashem, your God, you made yourselves a molten calf; you strayed quickly from the way that Hashem commanded you.
:16
Then I threw myself down before Hashem as the first time – forty days and forty nights – bread I did not eat and water I did not drink, because of your entire sin that you committed, to do that which is evil in the eyes of Hashem, to anger Him,
:18
Hashem became very angry with Aaron to destroy him, so I prayed also for Aaron at that time.
:20
… – then you rebelled against the word of Hashem, your God; you did not believe Him and you did not hearken to His voice.
:23
You have been rebels against Hashem from the day that I knew you!
:24
I prayed to Hashem and said, “My Lord, Hashem/Elohim, do not destroy Your people and Your heritage that You redeemed in Your greatness, that You took out of Egypt with a strong hand.
:26
Remember for the sake of Your servants, for Abraham, for Isaac, and for Jacob; do not turn to the stubbornness of this people, and to its wickedness and to its sin.
:27
Yet they are Your people and Your heritage, whom You took out with Your great strength and Your outstretched arm.”
:29

1 Hear, O Israel: Today, you are crossing the Jordan to come in to possess nations greater and stronger than you, great cities, fortified up to the heavens.
2 A great and tall people, the children of the ‘Anakim, whom you know and of whom you have heard said, “Who can stand against the children of ‘Anak?!”
3 You shall know this day, that it is the Lord your God Who passes over before you as a consuming fire He will destroy them, and He will subdue them before you; and you shall drive them out and destroy them quickly, as the Lord spoke to you.
4 Do not say to yourself, when the Lord, your God, has repelled them from before you, saying, “Because of my righteousness, the Lord has brought me to possess this land,” and [that] because of the wickedness of these nations, the Lord drives them out from before you.
5 Not because of your righteousness or because of the honesty of your heart, do you come to possess their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations, the Lord your God drives them out from before you, and in order to establish the matter that the Lord swore to your forefathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
6 You shall know that, not because of your righteousness, the Lord, your God, gives you this land to possess it; for you are a stiffnecked people.
7 Remember do not forget, how you angered the Lord, your God, in the desert; from the day that you went out of the land of Egypt, until you came to this place, you have been rebelling against the Lord.
8 At Horeb, you angered the Lord, and the Lord was incensed with you to destroy you.
9 When I ascended the mountain to receive the stone tablets, the tablets of the covenant which the Lord made with you, I remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water;
10 and the Lord gave me two stone tablets, inscribed by the finger of God, and on them was [inscribed] according to all the words that the Lord spoke with you on the mountain from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly.
11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the Lord gave me two stone tablets, the tablets of the covenant.
12 And the Lord said to me, “Arise, descend quickly from here, for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt have become corrupt; they have quickly deviated from the way which I commanded them; they have made for themselves a molten image.”
13 And the Lord spoke to me [further], saying, “I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people.
14 Leave Me alone, and I will destroy them and obliterate their name from beneath the heavens, and I will make you into a nation mightier and more numerous than they.”
15 So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire, and the two tablets of the covenant were on my two hands.
16 And I saw, and behold, you had sinned against the Lord, your God; you had made yourselves a molten calf; you had deviated quickly from the way which the Lord had commanded you.
17 So I grasped the two tablets, cast them out of my two hands, and shattered them before your eyes.
18 And I fell down before the Lord as before, forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sins you had committed, by doing evil in the eyes of the Lord to anger Him.
19 For I was frightened of the wrath and the fury that the Lord was angry with you to destroy you, and the Lord hearkened to me also at that time.
20 And with Aaron, the Lord was very furious, to destroy him; so I prayed also for Aaron at that time.
21 And I took your sin the calf, which you had made, and I burned it with fire, and I crushed it, grinding it well, until it was fine dust, and I cast its dust into the brook that descends from the mountain.
22 And at Tav’erah, and at Massah, and at Kivroth Hata’avah, you provoked the Lord to anger.
23 And when the Lord sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, “Go up and possess the land I have given you,” you defied the word of the Lord your God, and you did not believe Him, nor did you obey Him.
24 You have been rebelling against the Lord since the day I became acquainted with you.
25 So I fell down before the Lord the forty days and the forty nights that I had fallen down; because the Lord had said to destroy you.
26 And I prayed to the Lord and said, “O Lord God, do not destroy Your people and Your inheritance, which You have redeemed in Your greatness, and which You have brought out of Egypt with mighty hand.
27 Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; do not turn to the stubbornness of this people, to their wickedness, or to their sin.
28 Lest [the people of] the land from which you brought us out will say, ‘Because of the Lord’s inability to bring them to the land about which He spoke to them, and because of His hatred toward them, He has brought them out to slay them in the desert.’
29 But they are Your people and Your inheritance, which You brought out with Your great strength and with Your outstretched arm.”
