The longest camping trip in history
Some know well, while others know almost nothing about the longest Jewish campaign in the desert. If you do not go into details, then the essence is as follows. In time immemorial, Jews were driven into slavery in Egypt. Pharaoh refused to let them go until the usual shepherd Moses appeared. He was given the sign that he would free the people of Israel from captivity.
This enterprise consisted of several "executions of Egypt", including: locusts, bloody water, darkness and so on. In the end, the pharaoh realized that it was easier for him to let the Jews go than to endure all these "executions." And Moses stood at the head of the Israelites and led them through the wilderness. And since this campaign was somewhat delayed, people were hungry and Moses prayed to God. And so it was revealed "manna from heaven, " a special meal that literally fell from heaven, feeding the fill of all people.
According to the biblical description, it was a kind of white grains, similar to coriander seeds, and also on gouges - the resin of one Indian shrub. The name "manna" comes from the fact that the Jews asked Moses "Man-gu?" - "What is it?". And he explained to them that this is the bread that God gave. When eaten, young men tasted bread, old men tasted honey, and children tasted butter. Before noon it was possible to collect manna, and then it melted under the sun.
