Our fathers didn`t understand your wonders in Egypt. They didn`t remember the multitude of your lovingkindnesses, But were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

The Roots of Rebellion

Commentators explain that Israel's rebellion stemmed from two interconnected failures: they did not truly understand the purpose of God's miracles, and they failed to remember the sheer number of His mercies. Calvin calls this a 'stupid indifference' to obvious truths. This shows that disobedience often begins with a failure to appreciate and remember God's past actions.
