16 B’shallach – Day 5
Sh’moth 15:27-16:10
And they came to Ělim, where there were twelve fountains of water and seventy palm trees. And they camped there by the waters.
And they set out from Ělim, and all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ěl came to the Wilderness of Sin, which is between Ělim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second new moon after their going out of the land of Mitsrayim.
And all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ěl grumbled against Mosheh and Aharon in the wilderness.
And the children of Yisra’ěl said to them, “If only we had died by the hand of YHWH in the land of Mitsrayim, when we sat by the pots of meat and when we ate bread to satisfaction! For you have brought us out into this wilderness to put all this assembly to death with hunger.”
And YHWH said to Mosheh, “See, I am raining bread from the heavens for you. And the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, in order to try them, whether they walk in My Torah or not.
“And it shall be on the sixth day that they shall prepare what they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.”
And Mosheh and Aharon said to all the children of Yisra’ěl, “At evening you shall know that YHWH has brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim.
“And in the morning you shall see the esteem of YHWH, for He hears your grumblings against YHWH. And what are we, that you grumble against us?”
And Mosheh said, “In that YHWH gives you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfaction, for YHWH hears your grumblings which you make against Him. And what are we? Your grumblings are not against us but against YHWH.”
And Mosheh said to Aharon, “Say to all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ěl, ‘Come near before YHWH, for He has heard your grumblings.’”
And it came to be, as Aharon spoke to all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ěl, that they looked toward the wilderness and see, the esteem of YHWH appeared in the cloud.
