Exodus 15:22~16:35
They could not drink its water because it was bitter. (That is why the place is called Marah. )So the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What are we to drink?”
Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs and seventy palm trees, and they camped there near the water.
In the desert the whole community grumbled against Moses and Aaron for not food.
God gave them bread, The people of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.
IN the desert people are soon thirsty and hungry - and mutinous. It is not long before the complaints start. There had been plenty of fish to eat in Egypt, and fruit and vegetables - and no shortage of water.
Here God will provide in a way that teaches his people obedience and daily dependence on him.
Why?
Marah a place of bitter with complain.
Elim: a place with twelve springs and tree in desert.
How?
God provides his people in new way which is not the way of man can do.
