Yᵊtzi•âhꞋ, point of departure – eastward along northern coast of the Sin•aiꞋ. Map shows usual route of armies, not followed by Yi•sᵊr•â•eilꞋ upon leaving el-Ar•ishꞋ.

On the 15^th of Secondmonth, Bᵊn•eiꞋ-Yi•sᵊrâ•eilꞋ caravanned eastward along the northern Sinai coast from Eil•imꞋ to Mi•dᵊbârꞋ Tzin, which is between Eil•imꞋ and Sin•aiꞋ.

Within a few months, everyone in Ad•atꞋ Bᵊn•eiꞋ-Yi•sᵊrâ•eilꞋ was complaining to Mōsh•ëhꞋ and A•ha•ronꞋ in the mi•dᵊbârꞋ.

“We'd have been better-off dying in Mi•tzᵊraꞋyim by the arm of Par•ohꞋ. At least there we had pots of bâ•sârꞋ-stew and all of the lëkhꞋëm we could eat. But no, you brought us out into this mi•dᵊbârꞋ where we're all going to starve to death.”

Then י‑‑ה told Mōsh•ëhꞋ:

“Look, I'll rain lâ •khëmꞋ lëkhꞋëm from the heavens. So the am may go out and harvest the stuff daily – so that I can test-prove them: whether they will walk in My Tōr•âhꞋ – or not.”

“Ergo, on Sixthday they shall harvest and bake twice as much as the other weekdays.”

It Is י‑‑ה Who Provides, Not Humans

Mōsh•ëhꞋ Prophesies י‑‑ה Providing Bâ•sârꞋ

So Mōsh•ëhꞋ and A•ha•ronꞋ told Bᵊn•eiꞋ-Yi•sᵊrâ•eilꞋ:

"Now it's ërꞋëv. In the morning you shall know that it is י‑‑ה Who has enabled your going-forth from ËrꞋëtz Mi•tzᵊraꞋyim when you see the kâ•vodꞋ י‑‑ה. For He has heard your complainings against י‑‑ה. But what is the importance of Mōsh•ëhꞋ and A•ha•ronꞋ, my brother and me, mere humans, that you complain against us about things beyond human control?"

"As י‑‑ה gives you bâ•sârꞋ in the ërꞋëv and your fill of lëkhꞋëm in the morning, so י‑‑ה is hearing your complainings to Him. But who are we? Your complaints should be to י‑‑ה, not to us."

י‑‑ה Promises To Supply Bâ•sârꞋ To Yi•sᵊr•â•eilꞋ

Then Mōsh•ëhꞋ said to A•ha•ronꞋ,

"Tell all of Ad•atꞋ Bᵊn•eiꞋ-Yi•sᵊrâ•eilꞋ:

“Come close before י‑‑ה for He has heard your complainings.”

Then, as A•ha•ronꞋ began speaking to all of Ad•atꞋ Bᵊn•eiꞋ-Yi•sᵊrâ•eilꞋ, they faced the mi•dᵊbârꞋ and, look, they perceived the kâ•vodꞋ י‑‑ה to be in the smoke-cloud — the Voice of י‑‑ה speaking to Mōsh•ëhꞋ saying,

“I've heard the complainings of Bᵊn•eiꞋ-Yi•sᵊrâ•eilꞋ. Tell them: ‘During ërꞋëv, you shall eat bâ•sârꞋ and in the morning you shall eat your fill of lëkhꞋëm. Then you may know that I am י‑‑ה your ël•oh•imꞋ.’ ”
