what He did for you
This phrase emphasizes the personal involvement and divine intervention of God in the lives of the Israelites. The Hebrew root for "did" is "עָשָׂה" (asah), which means to do, make, or accomplish. This highlights God's active role in shaping the destiny of His people. Historically, this refers to the miraculous events and provisions God provided, such as manna from heaven and water from the rock. It serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness and power, encouraging believers to trust in His continued guidance and provision.

in the wilderness
The "wilderness" represents both a physical and spiritual journey. The Hebrew word "מִדְבָּר" (midbar) can mean desert or uninhabited land. This setting was a place of testing and transformation for the Israelites, where they learned dependence on God. Archaeologically, the wilderness journey is supported by evidence of ancient nomadic routes and settlements. Spiritually, it symbolizes the trials and growth that believers experience, reminding them that God is present even in desolate times.

until you reached
This phrase signifies a transition from wandering to arriving at a destination. The Hebrew root "בּוֹא" (bo) means to come or go, indicating movement towards a goal. It reflects the fulfillment of God's promises as the Israelites journeyed towards the Promised Land. Historically, this marks the end of a significant chapter in Israel's history. For believers, it serves as an assurance that God leads them through life's challenges to a place of purpose and blessing.

this place
"This place" refers to the land of Canaan, the Promised Land. The Hebrew word "מָקוֹם" (maqom) means place or location. It is a tangible representation of God's covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Archaeologically, Canaan is well-documented as a region with diverse cultures and peoples. Scripturally, it symbolizes the fulfillment of God's promises and the inheritance of His people. For Christians, it represents the spiritual inheritance and rest found in Christ, encouraging them to remain faithful as they journey towards their eternal home.

Verse 5. - What he did unto yon in the wilderness. The doings of God to the people in the wilderness comprehend the manifestations of his omnipotence, both in their guidance and protection, and in the punishment of those who transgressed. One instance of the latter is expressly referred to - the destruction of those who joined in the insurrection of Korah (cf. Numbers 16:31-33). Moses does not mention Korah himself here, but only his accomplices Dathan and Abiram, probably, as Keil suggests, "from regard to his sons, who were not swallowed up by the earth along with their father, but had lived to perpetuate the family of Korah;" perhaps also because, though Korah was at the head of the insurrection, Dathan and Abiram were the more determined, audacious, and obdurate in their rebellion (cf. Numbers 16:12-15, 25, 26), so that it came to be named from them.
