After walking through the Red Sea, the people had a rest at a place where there were wells of water and palm trees. Then it waas time to move on again. Tents werw rolled up. Wter bags werw filled. Food Was made to eat on the trip. The people were going to a mountain called Mount Sinai.The cloud moved and everyone followed.But some people were not happy. They forgot how God had cared for them.The food the people had brought from Egypt was almost gone. Soon there would be no flour or oil. What would they eat? There was no food out here in the desert.
" Why did Moses bring us here?" they asked.
" We will starve to death."
They came to Moses and Aaron.
"Give us bread, "they said.
"We wish we were in Egypt.There we had many good things to eat."
Moses went to pray to God again. God told Moses He would send food. And He did.
Early the next morning,there were many white grains on the ground. "What is it?" the people asked. They tasted the small white grains. It was very good. They called it MANNA. The word "manna" means "What Is It?". Moses told the people that new manna would be on the ground every morning for them. Everyone liked the manna. Mothers used it to make flour to bake things. They cooked the manna or ate it raw.
Everyone was happy for the good food God had sent.
