וַיִּקְרָא֙ שֵׁ֣ם הַמָּק֔וֹם מַסָּ֖ה וּמְרִיבָ֑ה עַל־רִ֣יב ׀ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל וְעַ֨ל נַסֹּתָ֤ם אֶת־יְהוָה֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר הֲיֵ֧שׁ יְהוָ֛ה בְּקִרְבֵּ֖נוּ אִם־אָֽיִן׃ (פ)
At tinawag niya ang pangalan ng lugar na iyon na Masa at Meriba, dahil sa pakikipagtalo ng mga anak ni Israel, at dahil sinubok nila ang Walang-Hanggan, na nagsasabi: “Ang Walang-Hanggan ba ay nasa gitna natin o wala?”
Targum Jonathan
And he called the name of that place Temptation and Strife; because there the sons of Israel contended with Mosheh, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, Doth the glory of the majesty of the Lord truly dwell among us, or not?
