The most important Words that were ever given to mankind were given by
YHVH to Moshe on Mount Sinai in the Arabian wilderness – The Torah.
Today the most important Words still come from a people who speak from a
spiritual wilderness those very same Words that were given to Moshe on Mount
Sinai.
The greatest Torah teacher who ever lived and still lives is Yahshua Ha
Mashiach.
Exo 15:19 For the horses of Pharaoh went with his
chariots and his horsemen into the sea, and יהוה brought back
the waters of the sea upon them. And the children of Yisra’ĕl went on dry
ground in the midst of the sea.
Exo 15:20 And
Miryam the prophetess, the sister of Aharon, took the timbrel in her hand. And
all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
Exo 15:21 And
Miryam answered them, “Sing to יהוה, for He is
highly exalted! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!”
Jubilation soon turned into grumbling and even rebellion
against Moshe.
Exo 15:22 And
Mosheh brought Yisra’ĕl from the Sea of Reeds, and they went out into the
Wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness and found no
water. (Shur means walled)
Exo 15:23 And they
came to Marah, and they were unable to drink the waters of Marah, for they were
bitter. So the name of it was called Marah.
Wilderness is a place of confinement and bitterness –
very few choose this path.
Mat 7:13 “Enter in through the narrow gate! Because
the gate is wide – and the way is broad – that leads to destruction, and there
are many who enter in through it.
Mat 7:14 “Because the gate is narrow and the way is
hard pressed1 which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Footnote: 1Or the way is afflicted.
Mat 7:15 “But beware of the false prophets,1
who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are savage wolves.
Footnote: 1See v. 23
Exo 15:24 And the
people grumbled against Mosheh, saying, “What are we to drink?”
Exo 15:25 Then he
cried out to יהוה, and יהוה showed him a tree. And when he threw it
into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There He made a law and a
right-ruling for them, and there He tried them.
Exo 15:26 And He
said, “If you diligently obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim
and do what is right in His eyes, and shall listen to His commands and shall
guard all His laws, I shall bring on you none of the diseases I brought on the
Mitsrites, for I am יהוה who heals
you.”
Deu 8:1 “Guard to do every command which I command
you today, that you might live, and shall increase, and go in, and shall
possess the land of which יהוה swore to your
fathers.
Deu 8:2 “And you
shall remember that יהוה your Elohim
led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, prove
you, to know what is in your heart, whether you guard His commands or not.
Deu 8:3 “And He
humbled you, and let you suffer hunger, and fed you with manna which you did
not know nor did your fathers know, to make you know that man does not live by
bread alone, but by every Word that comes from the mouth of יהוה1. Footnote: 1Messiah quotes this in Mt. 4:4
and in Lk. 4:4.
Exo 15:27 And they
came to Ělim, where there were twelve fountains of water and seventy palm
trees. And they camped there by the waters.
Elim can mean strength – we believe that the 12 tribes of
Yisrael and the seventy elders of the Sanhedrin will provide guidance and bring
strength and refreshing to the nations. (70)

Joh 3:36 “He who believes in the Son possesses
everlasting life, but he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the
wrath of Elohim remains on him.”
Exo 16:1 And they set out from Ělim, and all the
congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl came to the Wilderness of Sin,(thorns)
which is between Ělim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after
their going out of the land of Mitsrayim.
Exo 16:2 And all the congregation of the children of
Yisra’ĕl grumbled against Mosheh and Aharon in the wilderness.
Exo 16:3 And the children of Yisra’ĕl said to them,
“If only we had died by the hand of יהוה 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.”
Exo 16:4 And יהוה 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.
Exo 16:5 “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.”
Exo 16:6 And Mosheh
and Aharon said to all the children of Yisra’ĕl, “At evening you shall know
that יהוה has brought you out of the land of
Mitsrayim.
Exo 16:7 “And in
the morning you shall see the esteem of יהוה, for He hears
your grumblings against יהוה. And what are
we, that you grumble against us?”
Exo 16:8 And
Mosheh said, “In that יהוה gives you meat
to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfaction, for יהוה hears your grumblings which you make
against Him. And what are we? Your grumblings are not against us but against יהוה.”
Exo 16:9 And Mosheh
said to Aharon, “Say to all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘Come
near before יהוה, for He has
heard your grumblings.’ ”
Exo 16:10 And it
came to be, as Aharon spoke to all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl, that they looked toward the
wilderness and see, the esteem of יהוה appeared in
the cloud.
Exo 16:11 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Exo 16:12 “I have
heard the grumblings of the children of Yisra’ĕl. Speak to them, saying,
‘Between the evenings you are to eat meat, and in the morning you are to be
satisfied with bread. And you shall know that I am יהוה your Elohim.’ ”
Exo 16:13 And it
came to be that quails came up at evening and covered the camp, and in the
morning the dew lay all around the camp.
Exo 16:14 And the
layer of dew went up, and see, on the surface of the wilderness, was a small
round substance, as fine as frost on the ground.
Exo 16:15 And the
children of Yisra’ĕl saw, and they said to each other, “What is it?” For they
did not know what it was. And Mosheh said to them, “It is the bread which יהוה has given you to eat.
Exo 16:16 “This is
the word which יהוה has commanded:
‘Let every man gather it according to each one’s need, an omer for each being,
according to the number of beings. Let every man take for those who are in his
tent.’ ”
Exo 16:17 And the
children of Yisra’ĕl did so and gathered, some more, some less.
Exo 16:18 And they
measured it by omers, and he who gathered much did not have too much, and he
who gathered little did not have too little. Each one gathered according to his
need.
Exo 16:19 And
Mosheh said, “Let no one leave any of it until morning.”
Exo 16:20 And they
did not listen to Mosheh, so some of them left part of it until morning, and it
bred worms and stank. And Mosheh was wroth with them.
Exo 16:21 And they
gathered it every morning, each one according to his need. And when the sun
became hot, it melted.
Exo 16:22 And it
came to be, on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers
for each one. And all the rulers of the congregation came and told Mosheh.
Exo 16:23 And he
said to them, “This is what יהוה has said,
‘Tomorrow is a rest, a Sabbath set-apart to יהוה. That which
you bake, bake; and that which you cook, cook. And lay up for yourselves all
that is left over, to keep it until morning.’ ”
Exo 16:24 And they
laid it up till morning, as Mosheh commanded. And it did not stink, and no worm
was in it.
