Where do people complain? How does the Bible describe their words? What kind of punishment have the people received? How was it finally solved? 1/3
People in Tabella complained.
All the people are complaining, and their "bad words" have reached the ears of God.
When the Lord heard this, he was angry and made a fire burn among them, reaching to the border of the camp.
The people cried out to Moses, and Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire went out.
2. What makes you greedy? What are people crying about? They don't like manna, but how does the Bible describe manna? 3/9
(1) Others are greedy.
The Israelites wept again and said, "Who will give us meat to eat? We remember when we were in Egypt, we ate fish for free, and we also remembered cucumbers, watermelons, leeks, onions and garlic. Now our efforts have dried up, and there is nothing in front of us except this manna! "
This manna looks like coriander seeds and pearls. People go around collecting manna, grinding it or mashing it in a mortar, cooking it in a pot and making cakes, which taste like new oil. Dew fell in the camp at night, and manna fell with it.
3. How does the Lord hear people cry? How did Moses react? What did he say to God? 10/ 15
(1) When Moses heard the people crying at the gate of his tent, the anger of the Lord was very great.
(2) Moses was unhappy.
Moses said to the Lord, "Why are you so cruel to your servant? Why didn't I get your favor and put the heavy responsibility of managing the people on me? Did I conceive this people or gave birth to them? You said to me, "Take them in your arms, like a nursing baby, to the land you swore to give to their fathers. "Where can I get meat for these people? They all cried and said to me,' Give us meat to eat!' The responsibility of managing these people is too heavy for me to bear alone. If you treat me like this, if I find favor in your eyes, please kill me at once, and don't let me see my grievance. "
4. How did Jehovah solve the problem that Moses was under too much pressure? Are people obedient? 16/30
(1) The LORD said to Moses, "Gather seventy men from the elders of Israel, whom you know as the rulers of the elders and the people, and bring them to the front of the tent of meeting so that they can stand with you. I will go down and talk to you, and give them the spirit that fell on you, so that they can bear the heavy responsibility of managing the people with you, so that you will not bear it alone.
People obeyed.
5. How does God solve the problem of people eating meat? What happens when God is angry? What's the name of that place? What does this mean? 3 1/35
(1) A wind blew from the LORD, bringing quails from the sea and scattering them around the camp; It's about a day's journey here and a day's journey there, about two cubits from the ground. People get up day and night, and the next day all day, they catch at least ten quails and put them around the camp for themselves to eat.
Before the meat was chewed, the anger of the Lord was kindled against them, and he struck them down with the worst plague.
This place is conveniently called Kiborohathawa, which means "the tomb of greedy people".
(2) Application
In this chapter of the Bible, do we often do things that make Israelis cry and howl? What will we do in the future?
Yes, I often do.
(2) Don't complain to God. Obey God and focus on him. How much do we want to see God work miracles? In fact, the Lord Jesus is the greatest miracle. Today, let me know not to focus on miracles, but to focus on the Lord, to see the environment through God, and to know that when there is a flood, the Lord is king. God is always king. (Ps。 29: 10)
