Manna and quail;heavenly food from god




 Al-Mann (A sort of sweet gum) and Al-Salwa (Quails) that Allah had sent down to the offspring of Israel is something which is varied after in regards to its significance. 


It is said that al-mann is a sprinkle that drops from the sky on trees or shakes, turns out to be sweet and transforms into nectar, and dries like a gum. Also, it is said that al-Mann is nectar, or a sweet beverage. 


It is additionally said that it incorporates all that Allah favored his slaves (animals) with, with no work or collect. It is accounted for in Sahih Bukhari and Muslim that the truffle is of al-mann that was slipped upon Musa (Moses). 


Al-Salwa is a bird that takes after the quail or it is simply the quail. It is likewise said that it is nectar. The above is a reaction to the two inquiries, 'Where it develops and if there is any of it in this day and age". 


It is Allah who sent it down. With respect to whether it decended from the sky, Ibn Hajar said in Fath Al Bari: "… Ibn Abi Hatim detailed from Ali Bin Abi Talha, from Ibn Abbas who said: "Al-Mann used to plunge on trees and they ate from it what Allah wills." 


It is additionally revealed from Saeed Ibn Basheer, from Qatada who said: "Al-Mann used to slide on them like the plummeting of the snow, and it is more white than milk and better than nectar." 


Allah knows best. 


Yet, the Lord can't give us that enchant except if we as though of ourselves live by what we find in His Word. He can accommodate us, just as He could accommodate Israel, when they were able to follow Moses, who addresses His Word. Furthermore, following the Word includes a battle, on the grounds that reality goes up against our inherited propensities towards evil, yet in addition the real shades of malice we have affirmed in our lives. We truly partake in those disasters. In that state it seems as though considerably more amusing to turn around and seek after our own preferences. The past, the fleshpots of Egypt, can glance strong alluring in contrast with convincing ourselves to make the right decision. We did evil in the past in light of the fact that it appeared to be magnificent and sweet. It actually looks pretty awesome and sweet when we contrast it with doing what the Lord inquires. 


In this specific circumstance and figuring somewhat more profoundly about the Word we can identify with the expressions of the story, "And all the gathering of the children of Israel mumbled against Moses and against Aaron in the wild. Also, the children of Israel said unto them, Oh, that we had passed on by the hand of Jehovah in the place where there is Egypt, when we sat by the tissue pots, when we ate to satiety! For ye have delivered us unto this wild, to kill this entire assemblage with hunger." (Exodus16:2-3). Now and then maybe the Lord asks excessively. 


Be that as it may, when we see the differentiations and shout out, the Lord is there, even as He was there for Israel. Then, at that point Jehovah told Moses, how He would take care of Israel – how He would fulfill their yearning. "What's more, it was in the evening that quail came up, and covered the camp; and in the first part of the day there was a store of dew circuitous the camp. Also, the store of dew went up and observe upon the essences of the wild a little round thing, little as the hoar ice upon the earth. Furthermore, the children of Israel saw. Furthermore, they said a man to his sibling. What is this? Since they knew not what it was" (Exodus 16:13-14). 


We talk about adoration. We say we love either individual or thing. Love moves us. It is our actual life, for in the event that you were remove our loves what might we be? However, we truly don't get a handle on what love is. Love is that secret nourishment that takes care of us and lifts us up for eternity. However as we contemplate it, similar to Israel, we may well say, "What is this?" When He was on earth the Lord assisted us with comprehension. "Jesus said, "So be it, so be it, I say to you, Moses gave you not the bread from paradise, but rather My Father gives you the genuine bread from paradise. For the Bread of God is He who descends from paradise, and offers life to the world. Then, at that point said they to Him, Lord consistently give us this bread. Also, Jesus said to them, I am the Bread of Life; he who comes to Me will never yearning, and he who has confidence in Me will never thirst" (John 6:32-35). Our test is to figure out how to say, "Master consistently give us this bread." 


The Lord appeared on the scene to reestablish love to Him and towards one another. He is the Source of all affection. His adoration is there like sustenance each day to support us. Be that as it may, we need to participate. Moses told Israel, "Assemble ye of it each man as per the mouth of his eating" (Exodus 16:16). We need to do our part. The Lord's adoration is there constantly, however we should figuratively speaking accumulate it, and bring it into our lives. We need to do our part. 


However, love is given each man "as per his eating," (Exodus 16:17). We will be taken care of. The Lord will rouse our hearts with adoration, however in the proportion of our profound need. No more and no short of what we can apply to our lives. Furthermore, we genuinely apply His adoration to our lives, when we recognize it as a blessing from Him - when we bring it into our souls – one might say when we "gobble it up." "Ruler, consistently give us this bread!" 


However, on the off chance that we fail to remember the Lord's consideration and let our own uneasiness and dread control, then, at that point we won't really accept his affection. Truth be told it will repulse us. On the off chance that we turn His affection to our own narrow minded concerns, it won't sustain our otherworldly life. We will discover no get a kick out of the Lord's adoration. Those were not happy with the Lord's action, dismissed the expressions of Moses, and saved some until the morning, tracked down that the nourishment reproduced worms and smelled. 


So we help out the Lord. We accept His affection and make it a piece of our life even as we get Him as He that descends from paradise and gives life into the world. Assembling, estimating, and eating, all as indicated by His Word, we go about as though everything relied on us. However it's anything but genuinely so. Love is corresponding. The facts really confirm that we should react AS IF everything relied on us – with our entire being. However in doing as such we should likewise recognize the Lord as the Source of all human love. 


To help us to remember His side of the contract, on the 6th day the Lord gave twofold the sustenance. What is left over doesn't smell and raise worms on the seventh day. The individuals who help out the Lord but then really recognize Him as the Source of their affection and their life will know the tranquility of His day of rest – the Sabbath of the Lord. Love and astuteness will be joined in their souls, and they will walk unquestionably. They will be in the request forever – the Lord's organization. 


That request endorses that we get love as though it were our own. To accomplish this sense we should go through rotating states. Life has its evening and its morning states – its high points and low points. In evening states we know outer or regular pleasures. However, in the first part of the day we perceive that there is something else entirely to life than delight. We have utilizations to perform for our kindred man – utilizes towards others that express the affection that the Lord gives – utilizes that will bring us valid and inside pleasure and joy. However "this great can't emerge besides through the joys that are of the normal man" (Arcana Coelestia 8522). We need both outer and inner joys, yet in their legitimate connection to one another. 


There is an articulation that foundation starts at home. We need to deal with food, apparel, cover, and a large group of normal things, to go out every day motivated to serve our neighbors. Yet, these necessities and their going with delights are workers; they are intends to the genuine employments of life. The Lord additionally gives quail in the evening, which mean these normal enjoyments. For instance, we have times when we work with and educate our youngsters from a profound love to set them up for paradise, and we additionally have times when we basically play with them. All human connections have their inward and outer joys. We need both. Yet, on the off chance that regular pleasures rule, they go to desire and they bring profound demise (Numbers 11). 


Life is undoubtedly an excursion. We will confront numerous preliminaries in the wild. Be that as it may, the Lord has a legacy arranged for every one of us in His guaranteed land. All that happens to us looks to this end. Regardless of how it shows up on the dim days, in the event that we are unwavering, there will be times when the flavor of the nourishment will resemble that of a cake of nectar. The Lord will be there, and He will give as He gave to the children of Israel. "What's more, the children of Israel ate the nourishment forty years, until they went to a land occupied; they ate the sustenance until they came unto the line of the place where there is Canaan" (Exodus 16:35).

Staff of moses;


 The record of the fight against the Amalekites in Exodus 17.8-16 contains a few challenged parcels, including the understanding of the lifting of Moses' hands, the meaning of the staff of God, and the quantity of hands Moses holds up. This article will contend that the equivocalness encompassing the presence/nonattendance of the staff and the quantity of upraised hands capacities to depict the scene as a progress in the story (a significant level Janus parallelism) comparable to the part of the heavenly hero in Israelite battle. The presence of the staff of God in the one hand raised by Moses reviews the extraordinary works of God in the departure and underscores divine drive in fight, while the lifting of two hands connotes supplication (as upheld by matches in the Zakkur stela and Egyptian reliefs) and anticipates Israel battling at its own drive in future fights. 



In the adventure of Israel's freedom from Egypt, the staff of Moses is in excess of a prop. However lifeless, it is out and out a lead character, a viable change-specialist even with decided obstruction. To consider its pervasive job is to acquire some knowledge into the Bible's perspective on divination. 



Moses' staff places in appearance appearances all through the account segments of the book of Exodus. At the consuming shrub, God transforms it into a snake with an end goal to wheedle Moses into removing Israel from Egypt (4:2-4). Upon his return, Moses rehashes the sign before the seniors of Israel to check the realness of his central goal (4:30). At the point when Moses and Aaron defy Pharaoh interestingly, it is Aaron who currently throws the bar on the ground where it's anything but a snake and eats up the snakes of the Egyptian performers got to coordinate with his ability (7:10-3). 


The staff is the instrument by which Aaron achieves the supernatural occurrence of the initial three diseases, changing the Nile's water into blood (7:20) and swarming the land with frogs (8:1-2) and vermin (8:13). From that point, Moses employs the staff to release plagues seven and eight of hail and insect. However not unequivocally, the content appears to have Moses parted the Sea of Reeds through his staff (14:21, cf.16). At long last, once across, Moses has response to the staff twice more to strike a stone for water (17:5-6) and to beat back the Amalekites (17:9). 


It is this unmistakable quality which incited the Mishnah to list the staff as one the antiques made by God in the nightfall of the 6th day before the world's first Sabbath (Pirkei Avot 5:6). Whatever the expectation of that rundown, I notice it here to set up the way that we are discussing a solitary staff and not two or even three. Albeit, in the story the staff is alluded to differently as having a place with Moses, Aaron and even God (17:9), the Midrash likewise holds that there is just one staff. Possession is a component of employing it (Sh'mot Rabbah 26:3). 


Where the Mishnah fails is in ascribing remarkable status to the staff. As per the account, the staff is just a conventional shepherd's staff. It was the staff that Moses, tending the herd of his dad in-law, Jethro, bore in his grasp when he ended up landing on the consuming hedge (3:1). It couldn't have been more uninspiring and unremarkable. In any case, that is definitely the point: the staff held onto no innate strength. At work was exclusively God's will which decided to change a rough curio into an instrument of titanic force. The suddenness of the demonstration showed God's power. 


The foes of the staff are Pharaoh's performers. However long they can copy the wonders created by Aaron, Pharaoh stays unfaltering. However, their method of activity varies notably from that of Aaron. They impact their marvels through spells and mantras. The utilization of dark enchantment empowers them to stay on point with Aaron till the plague of vermin when they yield the unquestionable presence of Israel's God (8:15). Interestingly, Aaron works peacefully. Neither Moses nor Aaron at any point conjure God before raising their staff. Undoubtedly, its work, with the exception of one occasion (17:9), comes at God's command. The staff is absolutely an apparatus of the Almighty enacted through human office. Supernatural occurrences result, however not by temperance of wizardry. The inconsequentiality of the staff is highlighted by the way that Moses once in a while triggers or ends a wonder without utilizing it by any means, essentially by waving his hand (10:22) or offering a genuine petition (10:18). God needs no staff to adjust the direction of nature nor does the staff have any force free of God. It's anything but a relic. 


With respect to the Egyptian performers, they don't immediate their mantras to their own divinities or the domain past. Whatever they practice is by all accounts a type of human astuteness. The showdown as portrayed in the Bible isn't between the God of Israel and the gods of Egypt, yet rather among God and the hubris of humans. Strikingly, the Bible awards the adequacy of enchantment to a limited extent , yet simply because of human stratagem. As the incomparable Israeli scriptural researcher, Yehezkel Kaufmann, contended the greater part a century prior, the scriptural perspective on monotheism brooked no contending divinities. Additionally, deprived of all folklore, the Bible, as indicated by Kaufmann, knows just of the commotion brought about by people in their ceaseless test of God's sway and good law. Enchantment, however powerful in its belongings, is downsized to a strategy in the human collection and taboo since it tries to confine, frustrate or dodge the heavenly will. Pharaoh's experts of sorcery were a valid example. At the point when Aaron's pole turned-snake swallows those of the court performers, the scene is intended to attest the predominance of a perspective without witchcraft. In the more interesting definition of the Talmud, "Magicians disavow the family on high" (BT Sanhedrin 67b). 


The push of this subplot on wizardry accepted its lawful plan later in the book of Exodus: "You will not endure a sorceress (22:17)." And as Balaam, another non-Israelite professional of the workmanship, would verify: "Thus, there is no prognostication in Jacob, no making a plunge Israel" (Numbers 23:23). Nomos and story united as one. In Israel, prediction and not magic would turn into the adequate mode of correspondence among God and mankind. It was past human ability to force God into uncovering what the future held coming up. Scriptural monotheism had taken a quantum jump toward what Max Weber, the German humanist and understudy of religion, called the disillusionment of the universe. 


The presence of the staff of God in the one hand raised by Moses reviews the incredible works of God in the mass migration and underlines divine drive in fight, while the lifting of two hands means petition (as upheld by matches in the Zakkur stela and Egyptian reliefs) and anticipates Israel battling at its own .. 


Mass migration 14:21 


Then, at that point Moses loosened up his hand over the ocean, and all that evening the LORD drove back the ocean with a solid east wind that transformed it into dry land. So the waters were partitioned,the staff of moses posses the miraculus powers or its god power but intention is to show the humankind stright path towards god almighty?
