10They did not do what they had agreed with God that they would do; they refused to obey his laws.
11They forgot what he had done; they forgot about the miracles that they had seen him perform.
12While our ancestors were watching, God performed miracles in the area around Zoan city in Egypt.
13Then he caused the Red Sea to divide, causing the water on each side to pile up like a wall, with the result that our ancestors walked through it on dry ground.
14He led them by a bright cloud during the day and by a fiery light during the night.
15He split rocks open in the desert, giving to our ancestors plenty of water from deep inside the earth.
16He caused a stream of water to flow from the rock; the water flowed like a river DOU.
17But our ancestors continued to sin against God; in the desert they rebelled against the one who is greater than any other god.
18By demanding that God give them the food that they desired, they tried to find out if he would always do what they requested him to do.
19They insulted God by saying, “We don't think he can supply food for us here in this desert!
20It is true that he struck the rock, with the result that water gushed/flowed out, but ◄can he also provide bread and meat for us, his people?/we doubt that he can also provide bread and meat for us, his people.►” RHQ
21So, when Yahweh heard that, he became very angry, and he sent a fire to burn up some of his Israeli people. MTY, DOU
22He did that because they did not trust in him, and they did not believe that he would rescue them.
23But God spoke to the sky above them; he commanded it to open like a door,
24and then food fell down like rain, food which they named ❛manna❜; God gave them grain from ◄heaven/the sky►.
25So the people ate the food that angels eat, and God gave to them all the manna that they wanted.
26Later, he caused the wind to blow from the east, and by his power he also sent wind from the south,
27and the wind brought birds which were as numerous as the grains of sand on the seashore.
