So
finally, we got to the desert of Sin. Then,
my people started complaining, what a shocker, that they were hungry. You know something, I really am getting sick
of all of their complaining. Can’t they
ever be thankful? Well, anyways, G-d
tells me that he will give the people manah and that they should double what
they normally get on the sixth day (so as not to take on the Sabbath). So I tell Aaron to tell the people to gather,
and they do and they see the manah on the ground. I told them to gather for every person so
much as they can eat and one day and not to leave it over. However, some did leave it over and it
rotted. These guys really never listen! I was sort of expecting them to try to leave
some over; I guess I know my people pretty well, after all.
Okay,
well on the sixth day, I told the people to get a double portion, which they
did, and the second portion did not rot the next morning. However, even though I told the people not to
even try looking for manah on the Sabbath, some did anyway (I could have
predicted that). These guys are so….
Ahhhhhhhh, they don’t listen. And here’s
the kicker, G-d decides to get angry with me!
I did nothing wrong, I told the people of Israel what he told me and
they didn’t listen. What am I supposed
to do about that?
Okay,
well then we went to Rephidim, but, what a shocker, the people complained
again. This time they wanted water. Sure water’s important, but why do they keep
having to complain and even quarrel with me?
But once again, G-d helped me out by having me hit a rock with my staff,
creating water for the people. I named
the place Massah and Mesibah, because the people were quarreling with me, and
they even were disputing whether G-d was in our presence or not. I mean, come one, he just was with us with the
manah incident, why would He leave?
