When God would not endorse their decision to trust/do the wrong thing, they mistrusted God and disobeyed Him, uncovering their desperate need for salvation.

1. On the road to where they wanted to go, pausing to ask for God's instructions. (v.1-4)
2. Falsely pledging to comply with whatever God's answer would be. (v.5-6)
3. Hearing God's unambiguously clear instructions and stark warnings! (v.7-22)
