#Moses, #Psalmtweet Deuteronomy 32:19-21

Deuteronomy 32:19-21
Notice the pathos -- grief and jealousy. It is the principle of consequences. Humans are ultimately responsible for their acts. The chosen is a blunt example, not a paragon. There are exceptions also in the characters in Scripture from all tribes and peoples and nations.

Generation is used in the psalms 60 times, more often than all of Torah combined. The breakdown is 8 times in book 1, 9 in book 2, 18 times in book 3, 13 times in book 4, and 12 in book 5.  Note particularly Psalm 90:1, the Prayer of Moses, Yahweh as a habitation, and Psalm 95:10 on the straying of the people, 100:5 on the faithfulness of Yahweh. How is it that Yahweh is a faithful habitation yet spurns from grief his children?

וַיַּ֥רְא יְהוָ֖ה וַיִּנְאָ֑ץ
מִכַּ֥עַס בָּנָ֖יו וּבְנֹתָֽיו ס
19 And Yahweh saw, and he is spurning,
from grief his sons and his daughters.

20 And he said, I will hide my face from them. I see what their aftermath will be,
for a wayward generation they are, children without faithfulness in them.

21 ♪C They have made me jealous with not god. They have grieved me in their futility.
And I, I will make them jealous with not a people, with a senseless nation I will grieve them.
