'In The Desert' in the Bible

do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,on the day of testing in the wilderness,

while it is said,“Today [while there is still opportunity] if you hear His voice,Do not harden your heart, as when they provoked Me [in the rebellion in the desert at Meribah].”

And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose dead bodies were scattered in the desert?

By [having] faith, he left Egypt, not being afraid of the king's anger, for he endured [all the rigors of wandering in the desert] because he could see the invisible God.

(men of whom the world was not worthy), wanderers in the desert and among the hills, in caves and gullies.
