15He led you through the vast and terrifying wilderness with its venomous snakes and scorpions, a thirsty and waterless land. He brought you water from the rock of flint. 16He fed you in the wilderness with manna that your fathers had not known, in order to humble you and test you, so that in the end He might cause you to prosper.
“venomous snakes and scorpions, a thirsty and waterless land”
Reminds me of Tucson, venomous snakes were all around our home and the fire department would relocate them, remove them from your yard and move them elsewhere. I had to scorpion proof our home by checking all door seals and using wire screen on all the roof vents. They would find their way into the shower and it was good practice to look before you leaped. Where’s there’s one you’ll always find another!
Can you imagine living in the wilderness for forty years in a tent? I can only imagine the Israelites were a hard rugged people!
Blessings
