Numbers 9 - 11

Passover regulations are given and explained so that the people of God can celebrate their deliverance from the land of Egypt. Finally, the cloud of God's presence lifts from the tabernacle, signaling that it is time to move from Sinai. God's people obediently follow the plans that have been outlined for them and begin their trek across the desert. Soon, they begin to tire and complain about a perceived lack of food. God punishes those leading the group of malcontents and rewards those whom Moses appoints as leaders with the ability to speak on His behalf. As Moses requests for his people's nourishment, God provides quail for them to eat in addition to the manna that was daily provided for them.
