Context of Deuteronomy 9:22
20The Lord also became very angry with Aaron and wanted to destroy him. But at that time I prayed for Aaron, too. 21I took that sinful calf you made and burned it. I crushed it, grinding it thoroughly until it was as fine as powder. Then I threw the powder into the river that flowed down the mountain. You also made the Lord angry at Taberah, Massah, and Kibroth Hattaavah. 23When the Lord sent you from Kadesh Barnea, he said, “Go and take possession of the land I’m giving you.” But you rebelled against the Lord your God’s word. You didn’t believe him or obey him. 24You’ve rebelled against the Lord as long as I’ve known you.

The separate mention of the two is, however, appropriate here, for each place and each name was a memorial of an act of rebellion.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 7-29Verses 7-29 That the Israelites might have no pretence to think that God brought them to Canaan for their righteousness, Moses shows what a miracle of mercy it was, that they had not been destroyed in the wilderness. It is good for us often to remember against ourselves, with sorrow and shame, our former sins; that we may see how much we are indebted to free grace, and may humbly own that we never merited any thing but wrath and the curse at God's hand…Read the comment
