📚 Historical Context
The Israelites were wandering in the desert for 40 years after leaving Egypt, completely dependent on God for food and water. God miraculously provided manna - a bread-like substance that appeared each morning with the dew - to feed the entire nation of over a million people. This daily provision lasted for four decades until they reached the Promised Land.
