I. And they took their journey from
Elm. and all the congregation OF the
children Of Israel came unto the wilder
ness Of Sin. which Is between Elm and
Sinai, on the fifteenth day Of the second
month after their departing out Of the
land Of Egypt
We turn back in our studies to the
great redemption book of the Old Tes-
lament. and in Gods own picture book
we see not only real happenings. but
also the foreshadowing Of many things
q Cor. X. lib. The deliverance from
death and from the bondage of Egypt
in connection with the blood Of the
Passover lamb and the glorious power
of the Lords right hand sets before us
Gods great redemption provided for
US by Christ, our Passover, while the
succeeding events suggest the too COM
mon experience Of the believer In
which there is apt to be more murmur'
ing than rejoicing.
2, g. And the whole congregation Of the
children Of Israel murmured against Moses
and Aaron In the wilderness.
At Marah it was because they did
not like the water, and now 1t Is be-
cause they cannot see what they are
going to eat. failing to see that He
who delivered them from Egypt and
divided the sea for them would surely
not fail to care for them in every way.
But in them we see ourselves, for
which of us can say that Rom. viii, 81,
delivers us from all murmuring?
l. S. Then said the Lord unto Moses. Be-
hold, I will rain bread from heaven Tor
you. and the people shall go out ano
gather a certain rate every day Cthe por-
ton of a day In his day-margin) that ]
may prove them. whether they will walk
in my law or no.
So it is written in Ps. lxxviii, "a, 25,
"And had rained down mamma upon
them to eat and had given them of the
corn Of heaven. Every one did eat the
bread of the mighty" (margin). Just
think of it, food for millions day BY
day right from heaven! He would
teach them to look to Him alone and
be content to live by the day.
6.S. Ye shall know that the Lord hath
brought you out from the land OF Egypt.
Your murmurings are not against US. but
against the Lord.
AS to their murmurings it is written
in Ps. cvi. ii. PA. 25. "They lusted ex-
ceedingly in the wilderness and tempt
ed God in the desert. They believed
not His word. but murmured In their
tents and hearkened not unto the voice
of the Lord" They possibly did not
think that in murmuring against Moses
they were murmuring against God. but
when Israel demanded king in the
days of Samuel the Lord said unto
Samuel. They have not rejected thee,
but they have rejected Me, that !
should not reign over them" Il Sam.

9. 10. Come near before the Lord. for He
hath heard your murmurings.
Thus Moses commissioned Aaron to
speak unto all the congregation. and as
he spake to the people they looked to-
ward the wilderness. and. behold, the
glory Of the Lord appeared In the
cloud. Thus the Lord Himself appear
ed to them. assuring them that they
we're dealing with Him and not with
Moses and Aaron.
II. u. And the Lord spake unto Moses.
saving. I have heard the murmurings OF
the children Of Israel Speak unto them,
saying. At even ye shall eat flesh. and In
the morning ye shall be filled with oread
and We shall know that ! am the Loro
your God.
What great grace on His part to-
ward these unbelieving, murmuring
hosts! They had complained that In
Egypt they had flesh and bread to the
full, so He will give them in the will
derness flesh and bread to the full

mighty God who is all sufficient, and
in Him dwelleth all fullness. His pres,

have us find in Him our all and know

gift Is from above and cometh down

the bread which the Lord hath given you
to eat
So they had the flesh Of quails in the
evening and mamma in the morning, all
they could eat, not because they de.
served it. but simply by the grace OF
God. The mamma was like coriander
seed. white, and the taste Of it was
like wafers made with honey (verse

gathered it, some more. some less. On
the sixth day they gathered enough fol-

If they gathered more than enough
any other day, it bred worms and
stank, but not so the surplus gathered
on the sixth day. All that God asked
OF them was faith and obedience, yet
in everything they transgressed. Some
gathered more than enough on the or

sorrow just US God had said Ps
lxXviii. 12. %. 81, 39). In the great
gospel chapter on mamma our Lord says
among other things. "My Father civ
