Description: The story of the manna in the wilderness occupies a significant place in the larger desert narrative. A great many verses are devoted to the role of manna in the survival of the Israelites – both here in Beshalach, as well as in Numbers and Deuteronomy. Manna, through the lenses of generations of interpreters, is about training to be free, acquiring trust in God, the centrality of Shabbat, the power of questioning and so much more.
Exodus 16:11-36
Deuteronomy 8:1-2 and Deuteronomy 8:16
