Exodus 16 - Groaning and Grumbling

The Israelites cried moaning and groaning unto Aaron and Moses stating they would have been better off had the Lord let them die rather than to bring them to a desert to die of famine.

God told Moses to have the Israelites gather bread each morning enough for their family that day and not to gather more than they needed as He would supply enough each day. On the sixth day only could they gather extra so that they might rest on the sabbath. Some disobeyed and when they gathered too much it was spoiled in the morning, however when they saved some for Sunday it was good the next day. Moses warned them that their grumbling was not against Aaron and himself but against their God and they ought not grumble as God provides for them. He then asked them to present themselves to God and then they witnessed God in a cloud in the desert. He told them that in the morning they would have bread and in the evening they would have quail to eat. 

Thank you so much for visiting me today. May God richly bless you and the reading of His word. image source
