For his greatness 6. And for his goodness 8. And not to tempt him where your fathers tested and tried Me This phrase refers to the Israelites' actions during their wilderness journey after the Exodus from Egypt. The "fathers" are the ancestors of the Israelites who repeatedly tested God's patience and faithfulness. This testing is documented in several instances, such as at Massah and Meribah (Exodus 17:1-7, Numbers 20:1-13), where the people quarreled with Moses and doubted God's provision. The testing and trying of God reflect a lack of faith and trust, despite His continuous guidance and miraculous interventions.
