Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God,.... By striving with him or against him, by murmuring at or complaining of his providential dealings with them, or by requiring a sign of him, or miracles to be done by him; this is another passage used by Christ to repel the temptations of Satan, Mat 4:7, as tempted him in Massah; a place so called from the Israelites tempting the Lord there, Exo 17:7, the Targum of Jonathan adds, with ten temptations; see Num 14:21.
