What did the israelites eat in the wilderness?

Answer 1

The Israelites (always capitalized) had taken plenty of sheep, cattle, goats and other animals with them. There were some quail provided by God (Exodus ch.16). Then of course there was lots of manna (whatever that is) (Exodus, ibid). A million or more people in the wilderness must have been hard to feed (see Numbers ch.11).

Answer 2

The Israelites while wandering in the desert for a period of 40 years god provided every morning a food called Manna , which fell along with the dew. And they were very clearly told that they should not collect anything more then it was needed. And they should not be greedy.

Answer 3

The Torah doesn't record the specifics of Moses' nutrition in the desert, or of any other individual. We do know from the narrative, however, that there was simply nothing to eat in the desert; anyone who has visited the Sinai peninsula can vouch for the impact of the impression of crushing emptiness that greets the visitor there. The children of Israel, including Moses, were sustained by the daily fall of Manna described in the Torah, and for a few days out of the 40 years, by a swarm of quail that arrived to provide meat for those who were convinced that they weren't getting enough variety in their diet.

Answer 4

Quail and manna were provided to enable them to survive.

Answer 5

The Israelites ate manna in the wilderness which God provided.

Answer 6

The Israelites ate manna (Exodus ch.16).
