What Is It?

Name Date

Read the Story

God's people were in the desert. They were hungry, and they grumbled. God said, I will rain bread from the sky for you.

That evening, birds called quail came, and the people had meat. In the morning, there was something white and flaky on the ground. The people said, What is it? Moses said, It is the bread which Yahweh has given you to eat. They called it manna. It tasted like wafers with honey.

God said to gather just enough for each day. On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much. The seventh day was a day of rest. God fed His people with manna for forty years!

Memory Verse

When the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they didn’t know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread which Yahweh has given you to eat.
