The Sin of Willful Disobedience

Commentators like John Calvin emphasize that Israel's sin was not from ignorance but from willful rebellion. The phrase "which he set before us" indicates that God made His laws and instructions perfectly clear and plain through the prophets. Therefore, their disobedience was a deliberate turning away from a known and revealed path, making their guilt more severe.
