GOD in the Old Testament - Exodus - Part 9

Exodus 15:1-2

    Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD:

"I will sing to the LORD,

    for he is highly exalted.

Both horse and driver

    he has hurled into the sea.

"The LORD is my strength and my defense;

    he has become my salvation.

He is my God, and I will praise him,

    my father's God, and I will exalt him." 

 

Exodus 15:24-27  

So the people grumbled against Moses, saying, "What are we to drink?" Then Moses cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a piece of wood. He threw it into the water, and the water became fit to drink.

    There the LORD issued a ruling and instruction for them and put them to the test. He said, "If you listen carefully to the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD who heals you."

    Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs and twenty palm trees, and they camped there near the water.

(see all Exodus 15)

 

Exodus 16:9-16  

    Then Moses told Aaron, "Say to the entire Israelite community, 'Come before the LORD, for he has heard your grumbling.' "

    While Aaron was speaking to the whole Israelite community, they looked toward the desert, and there was the glory of the LORD appearing in the cloud.

    The LORD said to Moses, "I have heard the grumbling of the Israelites. Tell them, 'At twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God.' "

    That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp. When the dew was gone, then flakes like frost on the ground appeared on the desert floor. When the Israelites saw it, they said to each other, "What is it?" For they did not know what it was.

    Moses said to them, "It is the bread the LORD has given you to eat. This is what the LORD has commanded: 'Everyone is to gather as much as they need. Take an omer (about 3 lbs) for each person you have in your tent.' "

(see all Exodus 16 and 17)
