Sifrei Bamidbar
(Devarim 3:29) "And we stayed in the valley near Beth-Peor": He (Moses) said: See which sin I have sinned, how many supplications I uttered, and (still) it was not forgiven me. And you, how many sins you have sinned, yet the L-rd has said to you: "Repent and I will accept" (your penance). R. Yehudah b. Bava says: In three places Israel bordered upon grave transgression and the L-rd said to them "Repent and I will accept," viz. (Shemot 15:24) "And the people complained against Moses, saying 'What will we drink, etc.'" What is written there? (Ibid. 26) "And He said: If you hearken to the voice of the L-rd your G-d and you do what is just in His eyes, etc." Similarly, (Devarim 9:22) "And in Taveirah, and in Massah, and in Kivroth Hata'vah, you angered the L-rd, etc." What is written there? (Ibid. 10:12) "And now, O Israel, what does the L-rd your G-d ask of you, etc.?" Here, too, (Ibid. 3:29) "And we stayed in the valley near Beth-Peor, etc." … (Ibid. 4:1) "Give ear to the statutes and the judgments, etc."
