Exegesis
The demonstrative zeh {זֶה | zeh} “this” highlights the number ’ēser pᵊ'āmîm {עֶשֶׂר פְּעָמִ֔ים | ʿeśer pᵊ'āmîm}, and the conjunction wə-lō' {וְלֹא | wə-lō'} “and not” with šāmə'û {שָׁמְעוּ | šāmə'û} “they listened” closes with the prepositional phrase bᵊ-qōlî {בְּקוֹלִי | bᵊ-qōlî} “to my voice,” underscoring the covenantal demand for obedience.
In context — Numbers 14:22
Because all the men who have seen My glory and My signs that I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness have tested Me these ten times and have not listened to My voice.
