Quick answer

From the Exodus onward God persistently sent His servants the prophets, day after day. God's patient, repeated outreach spanned the nation's entire history.

Overview

The phrase 'daily rising up early and sending them' stresses God's tireless faithfulness in sending messengers. From the very beginning of the nation, He sought to guide them through the prophets. This long history of grace heightens the guilt of a people who consistently refused to listen.
