He discerned a little use in advising them, and that they were bent on denying Moses, so he raised the level of admonishing them to placing blame on what had occurred in the past, and reminding them that they were descendants of those who denied Joseph when he came to them with clear proof. Denying those who call them to the truth was well-known in their ancestors, and had become an innate disposition for them. Ibn Ashur: 24/138.
