Charles Ellicott Commentary Deuteronomy 9:24

"Ye have been rebellious against Jehovah from the day that I knew you." — Deuteronomy 9:24 (ASV)

Ye have been rebellious against the Lord from the day that I knew you. —This is one side of the truth. The other may be found in the words of Balaam, which Jehovah Himself put into his mouth: He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, nor seen perverseness in Israel (Numbers 23:21). (See also Deuteronomy 31:16.)
