The Bible OverBrew - Bible in a Yearنموونە

Week 3. Day 5. Exodus 16-18.

Ex 16-18 narrate the beginning of the wilderness journey: the events in the wilderness as the people travel to Mount Sinai where they will meet with God.

Ch 16 What is the manna? How should this have taught the people to trust God?

How does this passage give extra meaning to Jesus teaching his disciples to pray ‘give us today our daily bread’?

Ch 17 Water from the rock. A similar event will happen in Num 20:1-13.

18:11 ‘Now I know that the Lord is greater than all other gods, for he did this to those who had treated Israel arrogantly.’ (NIV) This is a very significant moment, as Jethro (who is speaking) is not an Israelite. God is saving his people so that through them he can bless the nations! (Gen 12:3)

NOTE: Days 1-5 of each week contain the scripture reading for that week. Day 6 has just the 'key chapters'. If you want a briefer version of this plan that still takes you through the whole Bible, you could just read the key chapters featured on day 6. Day 7 has the podcast video where we discuss the week's reading.
