Translation commentary on Deuteronomy 9:8

Even at Horeb: this refers to their experiences at Mount Sinai (see 1.2). So we may express this as “Even when we [inclusive] were at Mount Sinai you….”

You provoked the LORD to wrath: as in verse 7.

For so angry see 1.34 and 1.37.

The LORD was … ready to destroy you: the same as in verse 3.
