Study note
Setting — Moses addresses the Israelites in the plains of Moab, recounting their past refusal to obey God's command to avoid the hill country after the spies' report.
The words — וַתַּמְרוּ (va.tam.Ru) means "and you rebelled," and פִּי יְהוָה (pi Yah.weh) literally translates to "the mouth of Yahweh," denoting His spoken command.
The thread — This pattern of rejecting divine instruction appears in Numbers 14:44, Isaiah 63:10, and Acts 7:51.
Why it lands — The text demands acknowledgment that ignoring explicit commands leads to inevitable defeat, requiring readers to examine their own compliance with divine instruction.

The Hebrew words
