Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

Harden {G4645} not {G3361} your {G5216} hearts {G2588}, as {G5613} in {G1722} the provocation {G3894}, in {G2596} the day {G2250} of temptation {G3986} in {G1722} the wilderness {G2048}:

don’t harden your hearts, as you did in the Bitter Quarrel
on that day in the Wilderness when you put God to the test.

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

Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
