How did the Israelites change the action they were commanded to do?

Imām Ibn al-Jawzī (d. 597/1201) summarized the scholars' opinions in his book "Zād al-Masīr" as follows:

1. They entered crawling on their backsides. This was reported by Abū Hurayra from the Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ). [Bukhārī, Muslim]
2. They entered backwards on their backsides. [Ibn ʿAbbās, ʿIkrima]
3. They entered with their heads raised (in pride). [Ibn Masʿūd]
4. They entered with their heads turned to the side. [Mujāhid]
5. They entered while sprawled on their backs. [Muqātil]
