The Root of Rebellion
Commentators explain that Israel's rebellion wasn't just about specific sins, but a fundamental refusal to "hear the law of Jehovah." John Calvin identifies this contempt for God's Word as the "source of all evils." The people actively rejected the very remedy God offered for their spiritual sickness, demonstrating a deep-seated opposition to His authority.
