What type of bird did God provide for the Israelites in the wilderness?
The Israelites were mad at God and Moses because they didn't want to eat manna anymore (because they were complaining people) so God gave them quail.Jewish answer:Quail.The Israelites weren't "mad" at God. The first to speak up were the newly-arrived converts (Numbers ch.11), not the Israelites. Rather than "madness" at God, they wanted God to demonstrate His presence (Exodus 17:7) by providing for them, just as God wanted them to demonstrate their obedience when He tested them by giving them an unfamiliar food (Deuteronomy 8:2-5; see Exodus ch.16).

In Exodus chapter 4, Moses gains confidence and performs miraculous signs to convince the Israelites and Pharaoh of his mission from God.

The Israelites blame Moses and Aaron for making their situation worse.
Why did God rescue the Israelites repeatedly?
Because of His covenant with them (Leviticus 26:42 and 44-45, Exodus 6:5, Psalms 89:35).
Is the covenant between God and Moses conditional?
No personal covenant is mentioned with Moses. Rather, God made a covenant between Himself and the Israelites, including Moses (Exodus 34:27). This covenant requires that the Israelites obey the Torah (Exodus 19:5, Leviticus ch.26, Deuteronomy ch. 28 and 31). Nonetheless, it will never cease to exist (Leviticus 26:44). However, it does have a "conditional" nature to it as most contracts do. If the Israelites fulfill their half of the agreement, God will bless them and provide for them. If the Israelites do not fulfill their half of the agreement, God will curse them and destroy them. Many Religious Jews see the Diasporic Nature of the Jewish Community to be evidence of a general failure for Jews (the descendants of the Israelites) to uphold the agreement made between Moses and God.
What relationship does the bible text show between God and the Israelites?

"...'I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which My covenant they brake, although I WAS AN HUSBAND UNTO THEM,' saith the LORD..." (Jer.31:32)."Surely AS A WIFE TREACHEROUSLY DEPARTETH FROM HER HUSBAND, so have YE DEALT TREACHEROUSLY WITH ME, O HOUSE OF ISRAEL,' saith the LORD." (Jer.3:20)"Return, YE backsliding CHILDREN..." (verse 22)."For THY MAKER IS THINE HUSBAND; the LORD of hosts IS HIS NAME; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; the GOD OF THE WHOLE EARTH shall He be called." (Isa.54:5)Answer 3The relationship between God and the Israelites (Jews) is that of the covenant between them. The covenant is one of obedience, to listen to God's voice (Exodus 19:5), which includes the entire Torah (24:12). God, for His part, promised to treasure the Israelites (Exodus 19:5, Deuteronomy 26:16-19). The covenant was manifested through God's giving the Ten Commandments (Exodus ch.19-20), and was finalized (on the part of the Israelites) through the offerings described in Exodus ch.24.In the Books of Judges and Kings (and elsewhere), the text shows how God blessed the Israelites when they obeyed his Torah and punished them when they strayed.
