Exodus 16:32-34
A Pot of Manna PreservedGod gave the Israelites manna as food while they were in the wilderness. To help future generations remember this miracle, God told Moses to keep a portion of manna in a golden pot. This pot was placed before the testimony, or the ark of the covenant (Hebrews 9:4 a). The preserved manna was a lasting sign of God’s power and care. God wanted the people and their children to see the bread he gave them in the wilderness and understand that they always had enough. This reminded them to be thankful and not to complain. We should also remember God’s miracles and kindness to encourage us to trust him.v. 32–34: God instructed that an omer of manna be placed in a golden pot and kept before the ark as a reminder for future generations (Exodus 16:32–34 b). This showed that God provided for his people every day, and the manna did not spoil as a sign of his ongoing care. – –
