Deuteronomy 1-2

1:21-23 Israel requested spies or God commanded? Cross reference to Numbers 13:2-3.

Deu 1:21  Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged. 

Deu 1:22  And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come. 

Deu 1:23  And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:

Cross reference:

Num 13:2  Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them. 

Num 13:3  And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel.

So was this an ordained choose spies by God?

Rebelled used how many times in Deuteronomy?

Deu 1:26  Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God: 

Deu 1:43  So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hill.

H4784 - A primitive root; to be (causatively make) bitter (or unpleasant); (figuratively) to rebel (or resist; causatively to provoke).

This particular word is used 8 times in Deuteronomy - exceed only by the Psalms which uses it 10 times.

Psa 78:17  And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.

Psa 78:56  Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies: 

I don't think I've ever stopped and thought about something I do, say or think actually provoking God.  That's quite a light bulb moment.  I'm scared to even think how often I may do this...do I really reflect on what my actions, words, and thoughts mean to God?

2:6 money? Items of value? Gold, silver, previous gems?

Deu 2:6  Ye shall buy meat of them for money (H3701), that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money (3701), that ye may drink. 

Heh...the word money is used 140 times in 123 verses...okay, so where have I been hiding?

In the Old Testament:

H3701 - From H3700; silver (from its pale color); by implication money. - This is the primary word used throughout the OT...very few references to the other words translated as money.

H3702 - (Chaldee); corresponding to H3701.

H3724 - From H3722; properly a cover, that is, (literally) a village (as covered in); (specifically) bitumen (as used for coating), and the henna plant (as used for dyeing); figuratively a redemption price.

H7192 - From an unused root (probably meaning to weigh out); an ingot (as definitely estimated and stamped for a coin.

In the New Testament:

G4715 - From the base of G2746; a stander (standard of value), that is, (specifically) a stater or certain coin.

G3546 - From G3543; what is reckoned as of value (after the Latin numisma), that is, current coin.

G694 - Neuter of a presumed derivative of G696; silvery, that is, (by implication) cash; specifically a silverling (that is, drachma or shekel).

G5475 - Perhaps from G5465 through the idea of hollowing out as a vessel (this metal being chiefly used for that purpose); copper (the substance, or some implement or coin made of it).

G2773 - From a derivative of G2772; a handler of coins, that is, money broker.

G2772 - From G2751; a clipping (bit), that is, (specifically) a coin.

G5536 - Something useful or needed, that is, wealth, price.

G694 and 5536 are the primary words translated in the NT.
