1 | Shewbread made of manna in wilderness? | Ex 25:30 | DocTrinsograce | 231915 | ||
Hi, lovesnfish... What would keeping the command of the showbread have to do with the manna? Do you think that during the time when God provided manna that there were no breads prepared? In Him, Doc |

2 | Shewbread made of manna in wilderness? | Ex 25:30 | loavesnfish | 239115 | ||
Hi Doc! My understanding is that God gave the people manna to eat throughout their wilderness journey since they had no other food. At the same time, they were supposed to be following the laws God gave them about the tabernacle. One of those laws indicated that the showbread had to be made of fine flour and oil. If all they had was manna, how could they follow this command? I asked a rabbi and he said that they didn't follow the law until they entered the land. I know that God never gives us a command we cannot obey, so I was wondering how they obeyed this one. Any ideas? Thanks, loavesnfish |

3 | Shewbread made of manna in wilderness? | Ex 25:30 | DocTrinsograce | 239137 | ||
Hi, loavesnfish... Why would flour and oil be unavailable to them, particularly in the quantities they would need for the Tabernacle? Where is it written that absolutely everything was unavailable save for the manna? Those are my initial thoughts on the matter, for whatever they may be worth. In Him, Doc |

4 | Shewbread made of manna in wilderness? | Ex 25:30 | loavesnfish | 239146 | ||
Doc, You are right of course. When I was originally thinking about this I was focusing on the restriction from gathering more than the family could eat in one day, the way they complained about how it was all they had to eat when they wanted meat, leeks and onions, etc. I really didn't consider that they may have had enough grain for the priests to keep this commandment but not enough for people to eat. It seemed like they were only complaining so vociferously because they had nothing else to eat. If the priests were rotating and eating the showbread the way they were commanded to do, they at least would not be restricted to manna. loavesnfish |
