5He gave his laws to the descendants of Jacob; his instructions to the people of Israel. He commanded our forefathers to teach them to their children,
6so that the next generation—children yet to be born—would understand and grow up to teach their children.
7In this way they should place their trust in God and not forget what God has done, and keep his commandments.
8Then they would not be like their forefathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation that was untrustworthy and unfaithful.
9The soldiers of Ephraim, though armed with bows, ran away on the day of battle.
10They did not keep God's agreement, and refused to follow his laws.
11They ignored what he had done, and the amazing things he had shown them—
12the miracles he had performed for their forefathers near Zoan in Egypt.
13He split the sea in two and led them through, making the water stand like walls on either side.
14He led them with a cloud by day, and by night with a light of fire.
15He split open rocks in the desert to give his people plenty to drink, water as deep as the ocean.
16He made streams flow from the stone; water rushing down like rivers!
17But they repeatedly sinned against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert.
18They deliberately provoked God by demanding the foods they longed for.
19They insulted God by saying, “Can God provide food here in the desert?
20Yes, he can strike a rock so that water gushes out like flowing rivers, but can he give us bread? Can he supply his people with meat?”
21When he heard this, the Lord became very angry, burning like fire against the descendants of Jacob, furious with the people of Israel,
22for they didn't believe in God and didn't trust him to take care of them.
23Even so he commanded the skies above and the doors of heaven to open,
24and he made manna rain down on them to eat, giving them bread from heaven.
