harden not your hearts, as in the strife, as in the day of testing in the wilderness,

when your fathers tried Me; they examined Me and saw My work.

do not harden your hearts as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness,

where your fathers tested Me, proved Me, and saw My works forty years.
