Exodus 16 - Manna
by rocketman inshortly after the exodus from egypt, the bible account of events records that god provided manna for the israelites to eat (exodus 16:10-15).

by AllAlongTheWatchtower inin most modern western civilizations, i tend to believe in the "live and let live" way of thinking; though i am atheist, i understand that some people have a need for religion in their lives.

reading articles like this really gets me steamed up though:.

i found it interesting, but had never heard of the hyksos before.
