Exodus Red Lesson #12

The Lord sent quail to cover the camp.

The people called the bread "manna."

According to the Bible, when Moses struck the rock as instructed by the Lord, water came out. This event is mentioned in the book of Exodus (17:6) where the Israelites were thirsty and the Lord provided water miraculously from the rock. Therefore, the correct answer is that water would come out.

Moses said that the people were grumbling against the Lord. This implies that the people were expressing their dissatisfaction or complaints towards God, indicating a lack of faith or trust in His guidance and provision. Moses, as a mediator between God and the people, relayed their grievances to the Lord and sought His intervention or resolution.

When the sun grew hot, the bread would have melted away. This is because heat causes substances to change their state, and in the case of bread, it would have melted due to the high temperature. The other option, "It turned into quails," is not a plausible explanation as bread cannot transform into birds. Therefore, the correct answer is that the bread melted away.

Moses told the Lord that he thought the people were almost ready to stone him. This suggests that the people were becoming angry and hostile towards Moses, possibly due to their frustrations or disagreements with his leadership or the decisions he had made. Stoning was a form of punishment in ancient times, and it implies a serious level of resentment and potential harm towards Moses.

On the sixth day, the people were supposed to gather twice as much bread because on the seventh day, which was the Sabbath, they were not allowed to work or gather food. Therefore, they needed to gather enough bread on the sixth day to last them for two days. This ensured that they would have enough food to sustain them throughout the Sabbath without violating any religious laws.

The Lord said He would rain down bread for the people. This implies that the people were in need of sustenance and the Lord promised to provide them with bread as a form of nourishment.

The morning dew refers to the moisture that settles on surfaces overnight due to condensation. Once the dew evaporates, it leaves behind thin flakes that resemble frost. This suggests that the correct answer is "Thin flakes that looked like frost."

The Israelites complained to Moses and Aaron because they believed they were starving. This suggests that they were experiencing extreme hunger and were desperate for food. Complaining to their leaders was likely their way of expressing their distress and seeking help in finding a solution to their perceived lack of food.

After God provided the Israelites with food, they asked for water. This can be inferred from the context of the question, as it states that the Israelites asked for something after receiving food from God. Since water is a basic necessity for survival, it is logical to assume that they would request it after being provided with food. Therefore, the correct answer is water.

The Israelites believed that without water, they and their children as well as their livestock would die of thirst. This implies that they understood the severity of the situation and the potential consequences of not having access to water.

When Moses had Aaron speak to the people, the glory of the Lord appeared in a cloud. This suggests that the presence of God was made manifest in a visible form, signifying His power and authority. The appearance of the cloud could have served as a confirmation and validation of Aaron's role as a spokesperson for Moses, as well as a sign of God's presence and approval.

The manna is described as looking like coriander seed and tasting like wafers made with honey. This suggests that the manna had a small, round appearance similar to coriander seeds and had a sweet taste reminiscent of wafers made with honey.

When people kept bread overnight when they weren't supposed to, it started to smell and became full of maggots. This suggests that the bread went bad and attracted insects, leading to an unpleasant odor and the presence of maggots. Both answers are correct as they describe the negative consequences of keeping bread overnight.

God said that the people would eat meat at twilight.

The Israelites expressed their dissatisfaction by grumbling against Moses and Aaron. They complained, saying "If only we had died by the Lord's hand in Egypt!" and also mentioned that in Egypt, they had enough food to eat. Both of these statements reflect their discontent and longing for the perceived comforts of their previous life in Egypt.

The question asks what the people did on the seventh day. The first statement states that they rested, indicating that they took a break or did not engage in any work. The second statement mentions that some people tried to gather bread but were unsuccessful as there was none available. Both of these answers can be considered correct as they provide different perspectives on what the people did on the seventh day.
