| V3  Jordan Peterson asked Scholars in Episode 7 of his Exodus series what were the "flesh pots" of [[Exodus 16]]:3 were but none seemed to understood this theme of scripture from the Old to the New. 
|-
| The "flesh pots" are the same two words ''Basar''<Ref name="basar">{{01320}}</Ref> and ''Ciyr''<Ref name="ciyr">{{05518}}</Ref> describing the "[[cities of blood]]" and the ''cauldrons of flesh'' in [[Ezekiel 11]]<Ref>[[Ezekiel 11]]:3  Which say, [It is] not near; let us build houses: this [city is] the [[caldron]] <[[05518]]>, and we [be] the flesh <[[01320]]>.
: [[Ezekiel 11]]:7  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they [are] the flesh <01320>, and this [city is] the caldron <05518>: but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it.
: [[Ezekiel 11]]:11  This [city] shall not be your caldron <05518>, neither shall ye be the flesh <01320> in the midst thereof; [but] I will judge you in the border of Israel:</Ref> 
|-
| And we also see these words again in [[Micah 3]]<Ref>[[Micah 3]]:3  Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot <05518>, and as flesh <01320> within the [[caldron]].</Ref> which is bring the people into [[bondage]] again in social and political system where the people have the [[one purse]] warned about in Proverbs where there is a collective which runs toward death.
|-
| The ''[[Flesh pots]] are a reference to the ''[[caldron]]s'' of the '''[[cities of blood]]''' spoken of by Isaiah<Ref>[[Isaiah 59]]:1 "Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 2  But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he will not hear. 3  For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. 4  None calleth for justice, nor [any] pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. 5  They hatch cockatrice’ eggs, and weave the spider’s web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper. 6  Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works [are] works of [[iniquity]], and the act of violence [is] in their hands.  7  Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed '''innocent blood''': their thoughts [are] thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction [are] in their paths. 8  The way of peace they know not; and [there is] no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.
9 ¶  Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, [but] we walk in darkness."</Ref>,Jeremiah<Ref>[[Jeremiah 26]]:15 "But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the LORD hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears."
: [[Jeremiah 7]]:6  [If] ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:
: [[Jeremiah 22]]:3  Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.
: [[Jeremiah 22]]:17  But thine eyes and thine heart [are] not but for thy [[covetousness]], and for to shed innocent [[blood]], and for [[oppress]]ion, and for violence, to do [it].
</Ref>, Lamentations<Ref>[[Lamentations 4]]:13  For the sins of her [[prophets]], [and] the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the [[blood]] of the just in the midst of her, 14  They have wandered [as] blind [men] in the streets, they have polluted themselves with blood, so that men could not touch their garments. 15  They cried unto them, Depart ye; [it is] unclean; depart, depart, touch not: when they fled away and wandered, they said among the heathen, They shall no more sojourn [there]. 16  The anger of the LORD hath divided them; he will no more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, they favoured not the elders....[[Lamentations 5|Ch 5]] 2  Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens. 3  We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers [are] as widows. 4  We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us. 5  Our necks [are] under persecution: we labour, [and] have no rest. 6  We have given the hand [to] the Egyptians, [and to] the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread. 7  Our fathers have sinned, [and are] not; and we have borne their iniquities."</Ref>, Ezekiel<Ref>[[Ezekiel 7]]:23 "Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence. 24  Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled. 25  Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and [there shall be] none. 26  Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.
: [[Ezekiel 9]]:9  "Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah [is] exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not." 
: [[Ezekiel 16]]:38  And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy. 39  And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare. 40  They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords. 41  And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more.
: [[Ezekiel 22]]:2  "Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the [[bloody city]]? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations. 3  Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh [[idols]] against herself to defile herself. 4  Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come [even] unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries."
: [[Ezekiel 24]]:6  Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum [is] therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it. 7  For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust; 8  That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered. 9  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the [[bloody city]]! I will even make the pile for fire great." see also Prophesy of [[Ezekiel 38]]:11-[[Ezekiel 39]]

== Bread from Heaven ==


1 And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.

2 And the whole congregation of the children of [[Israel]] murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:

3 And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of [[Egypt]], when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.

4 Then said the [[LORD]] unto [[Moses]], Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law<Ref name="torahEx1628">Torah בְּתוֹרָתִ֖י
bə-ṯō-w-rā-ṯî '''Beit'''TavReishVavTav'''[[Yod]]''' which we also see in [[2 Chronicles 6]]:16, and [[Jeremiah 26]]:4,  <Br>{{08451}}</Ref>, or no.

5 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.

6 And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:
 
7 And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?

8 And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.

9 And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.

10 And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.

11 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

12 I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.

13 And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.

14 And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.

15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.

16 This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.

17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.

18 And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.

19 And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.

20 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.

21 And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.

22 And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.

23 And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.

25 And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.

26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.

27 And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.

28 And the LORD said unto [[Moses]], How long refuse ye to keep my commandments<Ref name="mitsvah"> מִצְוֺתַ֖י miṣ-wō-ṯay MemAyinVavTavYod <Br>{{04687}}</Ref> and my laws<Ref name="torahEx1628">Torah וְתוֹרֹתָֽי׃ wə-ṯō-w-rō-ṯāy.  '''Vav'''TavReishVavTav'''Yod''' which we also see in [[Genesis 26]]:5<Br>{{08451}}</Ref>?

29 See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.

30 So the people rested on the seventh day.

31 And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.

32 And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.

33 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.

34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

35 And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.

36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
