Exodus 16:1 - 17:7 Moses led the people on into the desert. They did not have enough to eat so God sent them food. Every morning small flakes like bread appeared on the ground. (The people called it 'Manna'.) Every evening God sent flocks of small birds for the people to eat. When there was no water God told Moses, "Take your stick and strike the rock and water will come out for the people to drink." For 40 years God cared for the people of Israel in the desert. (Signal)
