Moses' () description of them as (ignorant people) is confirmed by the use of the noun clause (in Arabic) which indicates that "ignorance" is a fixed trait of them and is rooted in their souls. Otherwise, they would, essentially, have had a deterrence from asking such a question. Ibn Ashur: 9/82.
Question: This verse indicates that ignorance may lead to shirk. How?

(He has favored you above the worlds) means: Allah favored them above the nations of their times for many reasons: First: They were descendants of Messengers and Prophets. Second: The Messengers and Prophets came from among them. Third: Allah has guided them to His Oneness, and saved them from the religion of Pharaoh after they floundered in it. Fourth: Allah has freed them from bondage, made them the owners of a blessed land, and helped them with His victory and signs. Fifth: Allah has sent to them a Messenger to rule them with Sharia. All of these favors were not given to a nation of their times except them. Ibn Ashur: 9/84.
