Ex 15:24
24 And the people complained to Moses
This happened a lot!

After the miracles in Egypt and crossing the Red Sea on dry land while the Egyptians drowned the Israelites were happy but God still stayed invisible and the Israelites doubted things. Hmmm, that sounds just like people today.

Ex 14:13
13 Moses spoke to the people: "Don't be afraid. Stand firm and watch GOD do his work of salvation for you today.

NO ONE HAS EVER SAID “SALVATION”.

Ex 13:21-22
21 GOD went ahead of them in a Pillar of Cloud during the day to guide them on the way, and at night in a Pillar of Fire to give them light; thus they could travel both day and night. 22 The Pillar of Cloud by day and the Pillar of Fire by night never left the people.

Ex 11:2
Tell the people to ask, each man from his neighbor and each woman from her neighbor, for things made of silver and gold."
This was for a good reason! There would be no silver or gold in the wilderness!

Ex 8:26-27
26 Moses said, "That would not be wise. What we sacrifice to our GOD would give great offense to Egyptians. If we openly sacrifice what is so deeply offensive to Egyptians, they'll kill us. 27 Let us go three days' journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to our GOD, just as he instructed us."

Our worship is offensive to people!

Ex 8:15
15 But when Pharaoh saw that he had some breathing room, he got stubborn again and wouldn't listen to Moses and Aaron. Just as GOD had said.

This is what people will do! They won’t be interested in God just themselves. This was an example.
