Sforno on Deuteronomy 9:22/ספורנו על דברים ט׳:כ״ב
אוּבְתַבְעֵרָה וּבְמַסָּה. וְאַף עַל פִּי שֶׁרְאִיתֶם שֶׁבְּהַקְצִיפְכֶם אֶת הָאֵל יִתְבָּרַךְ נִשְׁבְּרוּ הַלּוּחוֹת וְהֻצְרַכְתִּי לְהִתְפַּלֵּל בַּעַדְכֶם בְּצוֹם אַרְבָּעִים יוֹם, חֲזַרְתֶּם לְהַקְצִיף בְּתַבְעֵרָה וּבְמַסָּה כְּשֶׁבִּכִּיתֶם בְּאָזְנָיו לְנַסּוֹת.
1ובתבערה ובמסה, even though you have seen with your own eyes that because you had made G’d angry the Tablets He had made Himself were shattered, and I had to pray for you and fast for 40 consecutive days and nights, you repeatedly angered G’d again at the locations I just mentioned, as if putting G’d to the test each time.
בוּבְקִבְרוֹת הַתַּאֲוָה. בִּשְׁאֵלַת הַבָּשָׂר.
2ובקברת התאוה, when you demanded to eat meat.
