NOTES AND COMMENTS.
We have in Exodus 1922 n glimpse
of the terrible suffering to which the
Israelites we're subjected very short
ly after escaping from their slavery
in Egypt. Three days wanderings in
the wilderness and no water. III Is
hard to imagine what this was like TO
the thousands Of wanderers, men
women and children. 1t meant not
only physical suffering for each, but
great anxiety for the weaker ones
Add TO the suffering from thirst
sickness 10 which many must have
succumbed. After three days water
was found. when they tasted it, il
was found to he unfit to drink. Then
the people "murmured" against
Moses, implying something like al
incipient rebellion. Then Nose,
cried to the Lord. In answer u
Moses PRAYER, he was shown how the
bitter waters of Marah might be
made sweet. In answer also e
Moses prayer, God revealed Himself
as the Lord that healeth thee The
people are reminded Tin verse 26)
that while they had suffered in ths
wilderness and might yet have to I'M

would diligently hearken to the
voice Of the Lord thy God. and dc
that which is right" lie would bring
upon them none Of the diseases lol
plagues) which he had brought uror
! the Egyptians who had not listened
to the voice of God.
The Israelites Again Complain
Not long after another crisis occurred
|, The Israclitcs were apparently fac

wilderness made slavery in Eryp
with plenty to eat and drink seen
far better than freedom.
