Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from Exodus 16Given the logistical challenges of feeding and organizing such a large group, why is there no tangible archeological trace of this supposed vast encampment in the wilderness?

(33) Lay it up before the Lord.--Comp. Exodus 16:33, where Aaron is said to have "laid it up before the Testimony," i.e., the Two Tables. According to the writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews, the Ark of the Covenant contained three things only--the tables, the pot of manna, and Aaron's rod that budded (Hebrews 9:4). The deposit of the manna in so sacred a place may be accounted for by its typifying "the true bread from heaven" (John 6:32).Verse 33. - Take a pot. The word here translated "pot" does not occur elsewhere in Scripture, and is believed to be of Egyptian origin Gesenius translates it "basket;" but the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews 9:4 follows the LXX. in representing the word used by στάμνος, which certainly means "a jar" or "pot." Lay it up before the Lord. The "pot of manna" was laid up before the Lord with the "tables of the covenant," and "Aaron's rod that budded" as symbolical that God's mercy was as eternal and essential, and as much to be remembered as his justice, and perhaps also as especially symbolising the "true bread of life."
