📚 Historical Context
In the book of Exodus, the Israelites had just escaped from slavery in Egypt and were wandering in the wilderness, facing challenges of survival without reliable food sources. God miraculously provided manna, a bread-like substance from heaven, as their daily sustenance to teach them dependence on Him. They were instructed to gather it each morning, with any excess spoiling by the next day, and it would melt away as the sun grew hot, emphasizing the need for daily obedience.
