The Tragedy of "Yet"
Commentators like Charles Spurgeon emphasize the tragic contrast in this verse. After recounting God's incredible faithfulness in delivering Israel and giving them the promised land, the story turns with a heartbreaking "Yet." Despite God's perfect provision and protection, the people chose to rebel. This highlights the profound nature of human sin, which can persist even in the face of overwhelming grace and blessing.
