Devarim 1:41
Rashi on Deuteronomy 1:41:1
ותהינו. לשון "הננו ועלינו אל המקום" (במדבר י"ד), זה הלשון שאמרתם לשון "הן", כלומר נזדמנתם.
English: Rashi explains the unusual verb וַתָּהִינוּ by connecting it with the language of readiness: you presented yourselves as ready to go up.
Classic Commentary
The people's second attempt was not renewed obedience; it was presumptuous readiness after the divine decree had changed the command.
