7 So he called the name of the place Masʹsah*+ and Merʹi·bah,*+ because of the quarreling of the sons of Israel and because of their putting Jehovah to the test,+ saying: “Is Jehovah in our midst or not?”+

11 And I shall certainly put my tabernacle in the midst of YOU,+ and my soul will not abhor YOU.+

20 but up to a month of days, until it comes out of YOUR nostrils and it has become a loathing to YOU,+ just because YOU rejected Jehovah, who is in YOUR midst, and YOU went weeping before him, saying: “Why is it that we have come out of Egypt?”’”+

21 You must not suffer a shock because of them, for Jehovah your God is in your midst,+ a great and fear-inspiring God.+
