Commentaire sur Les Nombres 14:22
כִּ֣י כָל־הָאֲנָשִׁ֗ים הָרֹאִ֤ים אֶת־כְּבֹדִי֙ וְאֶת־אֹ֣תֹתַ֔י אֲשֶׁר־עָשִׂ֥יתִי בְמִצְרַ֖יִם וּבַמִּדְבָּ֑ר וַיְנַסּ֣וּ אֹתִ֗י זֶ֚ה עֶ֣שֶׂר פְּעָמִ֔ים וְלֹ֥א שָׁמְע֖וּ בְּקוֹלִֽי׃
tous ces hommes qui ont vu ma gloire et mes prodiges, en Égypte et dans le désert, et qui m’ont tenté dix fois déjà, et n’ont pas obéi à ma voix,
Rashi on Numbers
וינסו— Take the passage as what it literally implies: AND THEY HAVE TESTED [ME].

Or HaChaim on Numbers
ולא שמעו בקולי, "and who did not listen to My voice." Inasmuch as the Jewish people had previously been granted the privilege to be personally addressed by G'd at Mount Sinai, G'd now was very angry that they had not listened to His voice at this time.

Rashbam on Numbers
עשר פעמים, not literally, but meaning “many times.” We have encountered such expressions in Genesis 31,7, as well as in Leviticus 26,26, and in Job 19,3. In neither instance is the word עשר to be understood literally.
