Forgetting the Giver
Commentators stress that Israel's sin was not a lack of information but a "willful blindness" and profound ingratitude. Despite being taught that God was their provider, they refused to acknowledge Him. This serves as a warning to believers not to take God's blessings for granted or attribute them to "luck," "nature," or our own efforts, but to consciously recognize and thank God as the source of all good things.
