Exodus 16:6-14
6So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, “This evening you will know that it was the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt, 7and in the morning you will see the LORD’s glory, because He has heard your grumbling against Him. For who are we that you should grumble against us?”
8And Moses added, “The LORD will give you meat to eat this evening and bread to fill you in the morning, for He has heard your grumbling against Him. Who are we? Your grumblings are not against us but against the LORD.”
9Then Moses said to Aaron, “Tell the whole congregation of Israel, ‘Come before the LORD, for He has heard your grumbling.’”
10And as Aaron was speaking to the whole congregation of Israel, they looked toward the desert, and there in a cloud the glory of the LORD appeared.
11Then the LORD said to Moses, 12“I have heard the grumbling of the Israelites. Tell them, ‘At twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God.’”
13That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp. 14When the layer of dew had evaporated, there were thin flakes on the desert floor, as fine as frost on the ground. 15When the Israelites saw it, they asked one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was.
So Moses told them, “It is the bread that the LORD has given you to eat.

Nehemiah 9:20
20 You gave your good Spirit to instruct them. You did not withhold your manna from their mouths, and you gave them water for their thirst.

Yes hf

Another thought I have here is how Jesus is both the bread and He who gives the bread.

John 6:51
I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."

I see confusion in similar expository passages. Many people I talk to conceive of the 'way' as the Holy Spirit (non-Jesus entity) which Jesus gave as means to communion and intercession between the realms of God and man. As if Jesus couldn't make the way and be the way at the same time. But relevant passages in the Gospel say otherwise:

John 14:3-6
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.”

Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

Jesus answered, “I am the way"

The Glory of God in Exodus 16:7 is even treated as a distinct person from God, as you can see.
 Quoting: Photine 75425980


Yes, I see. There's plenty of language in the epistles that clears up the matter almost perfectly. Especially Paul's discussion on the various manifestations and gifts of the Spirit being of one single Spirit. But I'm trying to keep my premises within the scope of the OT and four accounts of the Gospel for now. But, soon. Soon I will argue unabashedly.

1 Corinthians 10:3-5
3 They all ate the same spiritual food
4 and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.
5 Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.
