The document provides commentary on Exodus 15-16. It summarizes the Israelites grumbling about lack of food after leaving Egypt, God providing quails and manna to feed them, and establishing the Sabbath. Moses cries out to God about bitter waters at Marah which are made sweet. The glory of God is seen in a cloud, and people are instructed to gather a set amount of manna each day except the Sabbath.

not honor Him as God, or give thanks; but they became
futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was
darkened.

walked on dry land through the midst of the sea.

yet they managed to drown all “his chariots and his
horsemen”?
• Wow! That makes me think of the stories of commercially
raised turkeys drowning in a rainstorm because they kept
looking up.
• Even one chariot getting off the “dry ground” trail doesn’t
make sense because there “the waters were like a wall to
them on their right hand and on their left.” (Exodus 14:22)
• How could you see 2 million people on dry ground, yet
drown your entire army in a swamp?

13. Wilderness Of

not drink the waters
of Marah, for they

nine-year-olds understand the difficulty of Moses' job
of settling disputes as leader of the Israelites, I asked
the children to role-play. Zackary was given Moses' part
while the others worked in pairs to come up with
problems for him to tackle.
• The first duo, Jessica and DaNae, approached their
leader and said, "We have no food."
• Moses thought for a minute and nervously answered,
"Go kill some animals."
• The next pair were the Terrence children. The
problem? "Someone's been killing our animals."

17. Exodus 15:25,
The Waters Became Sweet
• Exodus 15:25 Then he cried out to the LORD, and the
LORD showed him a tree; and he threw it into the
waters, and the waters became sweet. There He made
for them a statute and regulation, and there He tested
them.
• 2 Kings 2:19 …the water is bad, and the land is
unfruitful." 20 And he said, "Bring me a new jar, and put
salt in it." So they brought it to him. 21 And he went out
to the spring of water, and threw salt in it and said,
"Thus says the LORD, 'I have purified these waters;
there shall not be from there death or unfruitfulness
any longer.'" 22 So the waters have been purified to this

LORD; and what are we, that you grumble against us?“

against God.

elder except on the basis of two or three witnesses.

ground.

29. Exodus 16:15, "What is it?"
• Exodus 16:15 When the sons of Israel saw it,
they said to one another, "What is it?" For

food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of
Man shall give to you, for on Him the Father, even God,
has set His seal."

32. The Bread Of God Comes Down Out Of
Heaven
• John 6:31 "Our fathers ate the manna in the
wilderness; as it is written, 'He gave them bread
out of heaven to eat.'" 32 Jesus therefore said to
them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses
who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it
is My Father who gives you the true bread out of
heaven. 33 "For the bread of God is that which
comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the
world. [kosmos]" 34 They said therefore to Him,

it is written, "He who gathered much did not have too
much, and he who gathered little had no lack."

• Exodus 16:23 is the 1st. NASU use of “sabbath”

flowers, and like a homestead without a

had manna, but they ate some of the yield of the land
of Canaan during that year.
