Unbelief: The Root of Sin
The verse states God was angry with "them that sinned." Commentators like John Calvin clarify that the primary sin, the root from which all others grew, was unbelief. Their initial rejection of God's promise led to a cascade of other sins like murmuring and rebellion. This serves as a powerful reminder that a lack of faith in God's word is the foundational danger to avoid.
