Albert Barnes Commentary Deuteronomy 9:22

"And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked Jehovah to wrath." — Deuteronomy 9:22 (ASV)

See the marginal reference. Taberah was the name of a spot in or near the station of Kibroth-hattaavah, and accordingly is not named in the list of encampments given in (Numbers 33:16). The separate mention of the two is, however, appropriate here, for each place and each name was a memorial of an act of rebellion.

The instances in this and the next verse are not given in order of occurrence. The speaker for his own purposes advances from the slighter to the more heinous proofs of guilt.
