Exodus 16:1-17
1
The whole Israelite community set out from Elim, and on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had left Egypt, they came to the desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai.
2
There in the desert they all complained to Moses and Aaron
3
and said to them, "We wish that the LORD had killed us in Egypt. There we could at least sit down and eat meat and as much other food as we wanted. But you have brought us out into this desert to starve us all to death."
4
The LORD said to Moses, "Now I am going to cause food to rain down from the sky for all of you. The people must go out every day and gather enough for that day. In this way I can test them to find out if they will follow my instructions.
5
On the sixth day they are to bring in twice as much as usual and prepare it."
6
So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, "This evening you will know that it was the LORD who brought you out of Egypt.
7
In the morning you will see the dazzling light of the LORD's presence. He has heard your complaints against him---yes, against him, because we are only carrying out his instructions."
8
Then Moses said, "It is the LORD who will give you meat to eat in the evening and as much bread as you want in the morning, because he has heard how much you have complained against him. When you complain against us, you are really complaining against the LORD."
9
Moses said to Aaron, "Tell the whole community to come and stand before the LORD, because he has heard their complaints."
10
As Aaron spoke to the whole community, they turned toward the desert, and suddenly the dazzling light of the LORD appeared in a cloud.
11
The LORD said to Moses,
12
"I have heard the complaints of the Israelites. Tell them that at twilight they will have meat to eat, and in the morning they will have all the bread they want. Then they will know that I, the LORD, am their God."
13
In the evening a large flock of quails flew in, enough to cover the camp, and in the morning there was dew all around the camp.
14
When the dew evaporated, there was something thin and flaky on the surface of the desert. It was as delicate as frost.
15
When the Israelites saw it, they didn't know what it was and asked each other, "What is it?" Moses said to them, "This is the food that the LORD has given you to eat.
16
The LORD has commanded that each of you is to gather as much of it as he needs, two quarts for each member of his household."

The Israelites did this, some gathering more, others less.
Exodus 19:1-20
1
The people of Israel left Rephidim, and on the first day of the third month after they had left Egypt they came to the desert of Sinai. There they set up camp at the foot of Mount Sinai,
3
and Moses went up the mountain to meet with God. The LORD called to him from the mountain and told him to say to the Israelites, Jacob's descendants:
4
"You saw what I, the LORD, did to the Egyptians and how I carried you as an eagle carries her young on her wings, and brought you here to me.
5
Now, if you will obey me and keep my covenant, you will be my own people. The whole earth is mine, but you will be my chosen people,
6
a people dedicated to me alone, and you will serve me as priests."
7
So Moses went down and called the leaders of the people together and told them everything that the LORD had commanded him.
8
Then all the people answered together, "We will do everything that the LORD has said," and Moses reported this to the LORD.
9
The LORD said to Moses, "I will come to you in a thick cloud, so that the people will hear me speaking with you and will believe you from now on." Moses told the LORD what the people had answered,
10
and the LORD said to him, "Go to the people and tell them to spend today and tomorrow purifying themselves for worship. They must wash their clothes
11
and be ready the day after tomorrow. On that day I will come down on Mount Sinai, where all the people can see me.
12
Mark a boundary around the mountain that the people must not cross, and tell them not to go up the mountain or even get near it. If any of you set foot on it, you are to be put to death;
13
you must either be stoned or shot with arrows, without anyone touching you. This applies to both people and animals; they must be put to death. But when the trumpet is blown, then the people are to go up to the mountain."
14
Then Moses came down the mountain and told the people to get ready for worship. So they washed their clothes,
15
and Moses told them, "Be ready by the day after tomorrow and don't have sexual intercourse in the meantime."
16
On the morning of the third day there was thunder and lightning, a thick cloud appeared on the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast was heard. All the people in the camp trembled with fear.
17
Moses led them out of the camp to meet God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.
18
All of Mount Sinai was covered with smoke, because the LORD had come down on it in fire. The smoke went up like the smoke of a furnace, and all the people trembled violently.
19
The sound of the trumpet became louder and louder. Moses spoke, and God answered him with thunder.
20
The LORD came down on the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain. Moses went up
Numbers 9:15-23
15
On the day the Tent of the LORD's presence was set up, a cloud came and covered it. At night the cloud looked like fire.
17
Whenever the cloud lifted, the people of Israel broke camp, and they set up camp again in the place where the cloud came down.
18
The people broke camp at the command of the LORD, and at his command they set up camp. As long as the cloud stayed over the Tent, they stayed in the same camp.
19
When the cloud stayed over the Tent for a long time, they obeyed the LORD and did not move on.
20
Sometimes the cloud remained over the Tent for only a few days; in any case, they remained in camp or moved, according to the command of the LORD.
21
Sometimes the cloud remained only from evening until morning, and they moved on as soon as the cloud lifted. Whenever the cloud lifted, they moved on.
22
Whether it was two days, a month, a year, or longer, as long as the cloud remained over the Tent, they did not move on; but when it lifted, they moved.
23
They set up camp and broke camp in obedience to the commands which the LORD gave through Moses.
Numbers 11:1-35
1
The people began to complain to the LORD about their troubles. When the LORD heard them, he became angry and sent fire on the people. It burned among them and destroyed one end of the camp.
2
The people cried out to Moses for help; he prayed to the LORD, and the fire died down.
3
So the place was named Taberah, because there the fire of the LORD burned among them.
4
There were foreigners traveling with the Israelites. They had a strong craving for meat, and even the Israelites themselves began to complain: "If only we could have some meat!
5
In Egypt we used to eat all the fish we wanted, and it cost us nothing. Remember the cucumbers, the watermelons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic we had?
6
But now our strength is gone. There is nothing at all to eat---nothing but this manna day after day!"
7
(Manna was like small seeds, whitish yellow in color.
8
It fell on the camp at night along with the dew. The next morning the people would go around and gather it, grind it or pound it into flour, and then boil it and make it into flat cakes. It tasted like bread baked with olive oil.)
10
Moses heard all the people complaining as they stood around in groups at the entrances of their tents. He was distressed because the LORD had become angry with them,
11
and he said to the LORD, "Why have you treated me so badly? Why are you displeased with me? Why have you given me the responsibility for all these people?
12
I didn't create them or bring them to birth! Why should you ask me to act like a nurse and carry them in my arms like babies all the way to the land you promised to their ancestors?
13
Where could I get enough meat for all these people? They keep whining and asking for meat.
14
I can't be responsible for all these people by myself; it's too much for me!
15
If you are going to treat me like this, have pity on me and kill me, so that I won't have to endure your cruelty any longer."
16
The LORD said to Moses, "Assemble seventy respected men who are recognized as leaders of the people, bring them to me at the Tent of my presence, and tell them to stand there beside you.
17
I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take some of the spirit I have given you and give it to them. Then they can help you bear the responsibility for these people, and you will not have to bear it alone.
18
Now tell the people, 'Purify yourselves for tomorrow; you will have meat to eat. The LORD has heard you whining and saying that you wished you had some meat and that you were better off in Egypt. Now the LORD will give you meat, and you will have to eat it.
19
You will have to eat it not just for one or two days, or five, or ten, or even twenty days,
20
but for a whole month, until it comes out of your ears, until you are sick of it. This will happen because you have rejected the LORD who is here among you and have complained to him that you should never have left Egypt.' "
21
Moses said to the LORD, "Here I am leading 600,000 people, and you say that you will give them enough meat for a month?
22
Could enough cattle and sheep be killed to satisfy them? Are all the fish in the sea enough for them?"
23
"Is there a limit to my power?" the LORD answered. "You will soon see whether what I have said will happen or not!"
24
So Moses went out and told the people what the LORD had said. He assembled seventy of the leaders and placed them around the Tent.
25
Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to him. He took some of the spirit he had given to Moses and gave it to the seventy leaders. When the spirit came on them, they began to shout like prophets, but not for long.
26
Two of the seventy leaders, Eldad and Medad, had stayed in the camp and had not gone out to the Tent. There in the camp the spirit came on them, and they too began to shout like prophets.
27
A young man ran out to tell Moses what Eldad and Medad were doing.
28
Then Joshua son of Nun, who had been Moses' helper since he was a young man, spoke up and said to Moses, "Stop them, sir!"
29
Moses answered, "Are you concerned about my interests? I wish that the LORD would give his spirit to all his people and make all of them shout like prophets!"
30
Then Moses and the seventy leaders of Israel went back to camp.
31
Suddenly the LORD sent a wind that brought quails from the sea, flying three feet above the ground. They settled on the camp and all around it for miles and miles in every direction.
32
So all that day, all night, and all the next day, the people worked catching quails; no one gathered less than fifty bushels. They spread them out to dry all around the camp.
33
While there was still plenty of meat for them to eat, the LORD became angry with the people and caused an epidemic to break out among them.
34
That place was named Kibroth Hattaavah (which means "Graves of Craving"), because there they buried the people who had craved meat.
35
From there the people moved to Hazeroth, where they made camp.
Numbers 14:1-45
1
All night long the people cried out in distress.
2
They complained against Moses and Aaron, and said, "It would have been better to die in Egypt or even here in the wilderness!
3
Why is the LORD taking us into that land? We will be killed in battle, and our wives and children will be captured. Wouldn't it be better to go back to Egypt?"
4
So they said to one another, "Let's choose a leader and go back to Egypt!"
5
Then Moses and Aaron bowed to the ground in front of all the people.
6
And Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, two of the spies, tore their clothes in sorrow
7
and said to the people, "The land we explored is an excellent land.
8
If the LORD is pleased with us, he will take us there and give us that rich and fertile land.
9
Do not rebel against the LORD and don't be afraid of the people who live there. We will conquer them easily. The LORD is with us and has defeated the gods who protected them; so don't be afraid."
10
The whole community was threatening to stone them to death, but suddenly the people saw the dazzling light of the LORD's presence appear over the Tent.
11
The LORD said to Moses, "How much longer will these people reject me? How much longer will they refuse to trust in me, even though I have performed so many miracles among them?
12
I will send an epidemic and destroy them, but I will make you the father of a nation that is larger and more powerful than they are!"
13
But Moses said to the LORD, "You brought these people out of Egypt by your power. When the Egyptians hear what you have done to your people,
14
they will tell it to the people who live in this land. These people have already heard that you, LORD, are with us, that you appear in plain sight when your cloud stops over us, and that you go before us in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.
15
Now if you kill all your people, the nations who have heard of your fame will say
16
that you killed your people in the wilderness because you were not able to bring them into the land you promised to give them.
17
So now, LORD, I pray, show us your power and do what you promised when you said,
18
'I, the LORD, am not easily angered, and I show great love and faithfulness and forgive sin and rebellion. Yet I will not fail to punish children and grandchildren to the third and fourth generation for the sins of their parents.'
19
And now, LORD, according to the greatness of your unchanging love, forgive, I pray, the sin of these people, just as you have forgiven them ever since they left Egypt."
20
The LORD answered, "I will forgive them, as you have asked.
21
But I promise that as surely as I live and as surely as my presence fills the earth,
22
none of these people will live to enter that land. They have seen the dazzling light of my presence and the miracles that I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, but they have tried my patience over and over again and have refused to obey me.
23
They will never enter the land which I promised to their ancestors. None of those who have rejected me will ever enter it.
24
But because my servant Caleb has a different attitude and has remained loyal to me, I will bring him into the land which he explored, and his descendants will possess the land
25
in whose valleys the Amalekites and the Canaanites now live. Turn back tomorrow and go into the wilderness in the direction of the Gulf of Aqaba."
26
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
27
"How much longer are these wicked people going to complain against me? I have heard enough of these complaints!
28
Now give them this answer: 'I swear that as surely as I live, I will do to you just what you have asked. I, the LORD, have spoken.
29
You will die and your corpses will be scattered across this wilderness. Because you have complained against me, none of you over twenty years of age will enter that land.
30
I promised to let you live there, but not one of you will, except Caleb and Joshua.
31
You said that your children would be captured, but I will bring them into the land that you rejected, and it will be their home.
32
You will die here in this wilderness.
33
Your children will wander in the wilderness for forty years, suffering for your unfaithfulness, until the last one of you dies.
34
You will suffer the consequences of your sin for forty years, one year for each of the forty days you spent exploring the land. You will know what it means to have me against you!
35
I swear that I will do this to you wicked people who have gathered together against me. Here in the wilderness every one of you will die. I, the LORD, have spoken.' "
36
The men Moses had sent to explore the land brought back a false report which caused the people to complain against the LORD. And so the LORD struck them with a disease, and they died.
38
Of the twelve spies only Joshua and Caleb survived.
39
When Moses told the Israelites what the LORD had said, they mourned bitterly.
40
Early the next morning they started out to invade the hill country, saying, "Now we are ready to go to the place which the LORD told us about. We admit that we have sinned."
41
But Moses said, "Then why are you disobeying the LORD now? You will not succeed!
42
Don't go. The LORD is not with you, and your enemies will defeat you.
43
When you face the Amalekites and the Canaanites, you will die in battle; the LORD will not be with you, because you have refused to follow him."
44
Yet they still dared to go up into the hill country, even though neither the LORD's Covenant Box nor Moses left the camp.
45
Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites who lived there attacked and defeated them, and pursued them as far as Hormah.
Numbers 16:1-17
1
Korah son of Izhar, from the Levite clan of Kohath, rebelled against the leadership of Moses. He was joined by three members of the tribe of Reuben---Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth---and by 250 other Israelites, well-known leaders chosen by the community.
3
They assembled before Moses and Aaron and said to them, "You have gone too far! All the members of the community belong to the LORD, and the LORD is with all of us. Why, then, Moses, do you set yourself above the LORD's community?"
4
When Moses heard this, he threw himself on the ground and prayed.
5
Then he said to Korah and his followers, "Tomorrow morning the LORD will show us who belongs to him; he will let the one who belongs to him, that is, the one he has chosen, approach him at the altar.
6
Tomorrow morning you and your followers take fire pans, put live coals and incense on them, and take them to the altar. Then we will see which of us the LORD has chosen. You Levites are the ones who have gone too far!"
8
Moses continued to speak to Korah. "Listen, you Levites!
9
Do you consider it a small matter that the God of Israel has set you apart from the rest of the community, so that you can approach him, perform your service in the LORD's Tent, and minister to the community and serve them?
10
He has let you and all the other Levites have this honor---and now you are trying to get the priesthood too!
11
When you complain against Aaron, it is really against the LORD that you and your followers are rebelling."
12
Then Moses sent for Dathan and Abiram, but they said, "We will not come!
13
Isn't it enough that you have brought us out of the fertile land of Egypt to kill us here in the wilderness? Do you also have to lord it over us?
14
You certainly have not brought us into a fertile land or given us fields and vineyards as our possession, and now you are trying to deceive us. We will not come!"
15
Moses became angry and said to the LORD, "Do not accept any offerings these men bring. I have not wronged any of them; I have not even taken one of their donkeys."
16
Moses said to Korah, "Tomorrow you and your 250 followers must come to the Tent of the LORD's presence; Aaron will also be there.
17
Each of you will take his fire pan, put incense on it, and then present it at the altar."
Numbers 20:1-21
1
In the first month the whole community of Israel came to the wilderness of Zin and camped at Kadesh. There Miriam died and was buried.
2
There was no water where they camped, so the people gathered around Moses and Aaron
3
and complained: "It would have been better if we had died in front of the LORD's Tent along with the other Israelites.
4
Why have you brought us out into this wilderness? Just so that we can die here with our animals?
5
Why did you bring us out of Egypt into this miserable place where nothing will grow? There's no grain, no figs, no grapes, no pomegranates. There is not even any water to drink!"
6
Moses and Aaron moved away from the people and stood at the entrance of the Tent. They bowed down with their faces to the ground, and the dazzling light of the LORD's presence appeared to them.
7
The LORD said to Moses,
8
"Take the stick that is in front of the Covenant Box, and then you and Aaron assemble the whole community. There in front of them all speak to that rock over there, and water will gush out of it. In this way you will bring water out of the rock for the people, for them and their animals to drink."
9
Moses went and got the stick, as the LORD had commanded.
10
He and Aaron assembled the whole community in front of the rock, and Moses said, "Listen, you rebels! Do we have to get water out of this rock for you?"
11
Then Moses raised the stick and struck the rock twice with it, and a great stream of water gushed out, and all the people and animals drank.
12
But the LORD reprimanded Moses and Aaron. He said, "Because you did not have enough faith to acknowledge my holy power before the people of Israel, you will not lead them into the land that I promised to give them."
13
This happened at Meribah, where the people of Israel complained against the LORD and where he showed them that he is holy.
14
Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom. They said, "This message is from your kinsmen, the tribes of Israel. You know the hardships we have suffered,
15
how our ancestors went to Egypt, where we lived many years. The Egyptians mistreated our ancestors and us,
16
and we cried to the LORD for help. He heard our cry and sent an angel, who led us out of Egypt. Now we are at Kadesh, a town at the border of your territory.
17
Please permit us to pass through your land. We and our cattle will not leave the road or go into your fields or vineyards, and we will not drink from your wells. We will stay on the main road until we are out of your territory."
18
But the Edomites answered, "We refuse to let you pass through our country! If you try, we will march out and attack you."
19
The people of Israel said, "We will stay on the main road, and if we or our animals drink any of your water, we will pay for it---all we want is to pass through."
20
The Edomites repeated, "We refuse!" and they marched out with a powerful army to attack the people of Israel.
21
Because the Edomites would not let the Israelites pass through their territory, the Israelites turned and went another way.
Deuteronomy 2:25-37
25
From today on I will make people everywhere afraid of you. Everyone will tremble with fear at the mention of your name.'
26
"Then I sent messengers from the desert of Kedemoth to King Sihon of Heshbon with the following offer of peace:
27
'Let us pass through your country. We will go straight through and not leave the road.
28
We will pay for the food we eat and the water we drink. All we want to do is to pass through your country,
29
until we cross the Jordan River into the land that the LORD our God is giving us. The descendants of Esau, who live in Edom, and the Moabites, who live in Ar, allowed us to pass through their territory.'
30
"But King Sihon would not let us pass through his country. The LORD your God had made him stubborn and rebellious, so that we could defeat him and take his territory, which we still occupy.
31
"Then the LORD said to me, 'Look, I have made King Sihon and his land helpless before you; take his land and occupy it.'
32
Sihon came out with all his men to fight us near the town of Jahaz,
33
but the LORD our God put him in our power, and we killed him, his sons, and all his men.
34
At the same time we captured and destroyed every town, and put everyone to death, men, women, and children. We left no survivors.
35
We took the livestock and plundered the towns.
36
The LORD our God let us capture all the towns from Aroer, on the edge of the Arnon Valley, and the city in the middle of that valley, all the way to Gilead. No town had walls too strong for us.
37
But we did not go near the territory of the Ammonites or to the banks of the Jabbok River or to the towns of the hill country or to any other place where the LORD our God had commanded us not to go.
Deuteronomy 8:4
During these forty years your clothes have not worn out, nor have your feet swollen up.
Nehemiah 9:12-15
12
With a cloud you led them in daytime, and at night you lighted their way with fire.
13
At Mount Sinai you came down from heaven; you spoke to your people and gave them good laws and sound teachings.
14
You taught them to keep your Sabbaths holy, and through your servant Moses you gave them your laws.
15
"When they were hungry, you gave them bread from heaven, and water from a rock when they were thirsty. You told them to take control of the land which you had promised to give them.
Nehemiah 9:18-22
18
They made an idol in the shape of a bull-calf and said it was the god who led them from Egypt! How much they insulted you, LORD!
19
But you did not abandon them there in the desert, for your mercy is great. You did not take away the cloud or the fire that showed them the path by day and night.
20
In your goodness you told them what they should do; you fed them manna and gave them water to drink.
21
Through forty years in the desert you provided all that they needed; their clothing never wore out, and their feet were not swollen with pain.
22
"You let them conquer nations and kingdoms, lands that bordered their own. They conquered the land of Heshbon, where Sihon ruled, and the land of Bashan, where Og was king.
Psalm 78:14-33
14
By day he led them with a cloud and all night long with the light of a fire.
15
He split rocks open in the desert and gave them water from the depths.
16
He caused a stream to come out of the rock and made water flow like a river.
17
But they continued to sin against God, and in the desert they rebelled against the Most High.
18
They deliberately put God to the test by demanding the food they wanted.
19
They spoke against God and said, "Can God supply food in the desert?
20
It is true that he struck the rock, and water flowed out in a torrent; but can he also provide us with bread and give his people meat?"
21
And so the LORD was angry when he heard them; he attacked his people with fire, and his anger against them grew,
22
because they had no faith in him and did not believe that he would save them.
23
But he spoke to the sky above and commanded its doors to open;
24
he gave them grain from heaven, by sending down manna for them to eat.
25
So they ate the food of angels, and God gave them all they wanted.
26
He also caused the east wind to blow, and by his power he stirred up the south wind;
27
and to his people he sent down birds, as many as the grains of sand on the shore;
28
they fell in the middle of the camp all around the tents.
29
So the people ate and were satisfied; God gave them what they wanted.
30
But they had not yet satisfied their craving and were still eating,
31
when God became angry with them and killed their strongest men, the best young men of Israel.
32
In spite of all this the people kept sinning; in spite of his miracles they did not trust him.
33
So he ended their days like a breath and their lives with sudden disaster.
Psalm 105:39-45
39
God put a cloud over his people and a fire at night to give them light.
40
They asked, and he sent quails; he gave them food from heaven to satisfy them.
41
He opened a rock, and water gushed out, flowing through the desert like a river.
42
He remembered his sacred promise to Abraham his servant.
43
So he led his chosen people out, and they sang and shouted for joy.
44
He gave them the lands of other peoples and let them take over their fields,
45
so that his people would obey his laws and keep all his commands. Praise the LORD!
Psalm 106:17
Then the earth opened up and swallowed Dathan and buried Abiram and his family;
Psalm 106:18
fire came down on their followers and burned up those wicked people.
Psalm 135:10-12
10
He destroyed many nations and killed powerful kings:
11
Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, and all the kings in Canaan.
12
He gave their lands to his people; he gave them to Israel.
Psalm 136:16-21
16
He led his people through the desert; his love is eternal.
17
He killed powerful kings; his love is eternal;
18
he killed famous kings; his love is eternal;
19
Sihon, king of the Amorites; his love is eternal;
20
and Og, king of Bashan; his love is eternal.
21
He gave their lands to his people; his love is eternal;
