“They Are a Stiffnecked and a Gainsaying People”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
To say that Israel is “a gainsaying people” is to say that they are quick to object, to oppose, resist, contradict, or speak against that which comes from God. They are slow to believe, quick to disbelieve. See also commentary on 1 Nephi 20:4-8.
