So he called the name of the place, Massah, and Meribah,—because of the fault-finding of the sons of Israel, and because of their putting Yahweh to the proof, saying, Is Yahweh in our midst or is he not?
And of Levi, he said: Let, thy perfections and thy lights, belong unto thy man of lovingkindness,—Whom thou didst put to the proof at Massah, With whom thou didst contend over the waters of Meribah;
for that ye acted unfaithfully against me in the midst of the sons of Israel, regarding the waters of Meribah-Kadesh in the desert of Zin,—for that ye hallowed me not in the midst of the sons of Israel.
Therefore wilt thou come up, against my people Israel, like a cloud covering the land,— In the afterpart of the days, shall it be. that I will suffer thee to enter upon my land, To the end the nations may know me, when I hallow myself in thee before their eyes O Gog!
Therefore will I hallow my great Name, that hath been profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in their midst,-So shall the nations know that I am Yahweh Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, When I have hallowed myself in you, before their eyes.
As a satisfying odour, will I accept you I, Through my bringing you forth from among the peoples, And gathering you out of the lands, throughout which ye ha e been dispersed; Thus will I hallow myself in you before the eyes of the nations.
