As had been foretold (Deuteronomy ch.31 and 32), some of them sinned.

However, we should not take the criticisms at their lowest common denominator. The Israelites were held to a high standard; the job of the prophets was to stridently spotlight any wrongdoing; everyone could be held accountable for the sins of the few (Joshua ch.7); and today we cannot comprehend the ancient lure of idolatry (Talmud, Yoma 69b).
