Num 33:11And they removed from the Red sea,
and encamped in the
wilderness of Sin.
02-15-01
(Exo
16:1 KJV)And they
took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of
the children of Israel
came unto the wilderness
of
Sin, which
is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second
month after their
departing out of the land
of Egypt.
Thus far the journey has taken about a
month
Sin
= thorn or clay
(Exo
16:2
KJV)And the
whole congregation of the children of Israelmurmured against Moses and
Aaron in the wilderness:
(Exo
16:3 KJV)And the
children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we
had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of
Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we
did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us
forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole
assembly with hunger.
(Exo
16:4 KJV)Then said
the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from
heaven for you; and the people shall go out and
gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove
them,
whether they will walk in my law, or no.
(Exo
16:12 KJV)I have heard the murmurings of
the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At evenye shall eat flesh, and in
the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am
the LORD your God.
(Exo
16:13, 14 KJV)And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the
camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the
host.
And when the
dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the
wilderness there lay a small round
thing, as small as
the hoar frost on the ground.
What
is
it?
(Exo
16:15 KJV)And when the
children of Israel
saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist
not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is
the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.
God's provision
for feeding Israel
in the wilderness is described as His control of
natural events. The manna followed the dew. The quails
were blown in by the wind.
The
Sabbath
prior to revealing the Ten Commandments
(Exo
16:26 KJV)Six days ye
shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is
the Sabbath, in it there shall be none.
(Exo
16:29 KJV)See, for
that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore
he giveth
you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his
place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh
day.
(Exo 16:35 KJV)And the children of Israel
did eat manna forty years, until they came
to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they
came unto the borders of the land
of Canaan.
