“Also in Horeb ye provoked the Lord to wrath, so that the Lord was angry with you to have destroyed you.”
At Horeb you aroused the LORD's anger so that he was angry enough to destroy you — even at Horeb, the sacred mountain where the covenant was ratified, Israel provoked divine wrath to the point of threatened annihilation. This compressed reference points to the golden calf episode, the paradigm of covenant-breaking.
