Intro- Following the Red Sea being parted and the Israelites being free, we continue the story of Exodus.
Following God delivering Israel from the armies of Pharaoh they began to praise God
Essentially this is a really long song, that Moses sang recounting all that God had done for them.
Following their departure from the Red Sea they began their wilderness wanderings they traveled for 3 days without water.
They came to a place called “Marah” which literally means bitterness.
As soon as the Israelites faced their first sign of trouble after the Red Sea, the began to complain.
The water was likely bitter because it had high amounts of mineral deposits.
Not harmful to drink, just unpleasant.
God showed Moses a log (we don’t know what kind) but he threw it in the water and it became sweet.
Notice the test of God.
He wanted them to diligently listen and keep all of his laws and statutes.
God gave a promise, If they would do this, He would not do to them, what He did to the Egyptians.
Only 1 month has passed since they left Egypt and the people have begun another round of complaining.
They began to reminisce about how “good” they had it in Egypt.
and how now, they were going to die of hunger.
God gave instructions regarding the bread from heaven.
He wanted them to know that on the 6th day, there would be twice as much bread because, on the 7th day, they were to rest.
each person was to take an “omer” some have suggested it was about a cup, some have suggested it was a gallon.
We really aren’t sure of the exact measurement.
They were to eat all of it that day and not save any of it (V.19)
This likely had nothing to do with the bread going bad (since on day 6 God gave them twice as much) It was a test of their faith, knowing that as they ate all the bread, they would have to rely on God tomorrow.
Here they we able to keep the bread overnight to wait until the next day, It did not go bad, because they were obedient to God.
Some of the people still couldn’t follow directions and went out on the morning of the sabbath.
Once again, we see God instituting another memorial.
Application:
In chapter 15, the Israelites found water that was bitter to the taste and God made it sweet.
God has a way of turning even bad things into good.
In we find that those who complained against Moses were actually complaining against God.
So many times we think that complaining is harmless, when in fact it is condemned and it is sinful.
Jesus is the true bread of life.
The difference is that those who partake in Jesus never have to again.
These Israelites had to eat the manna every single day.
