Exo 13:21-22:
21 During the day, Yahweh went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to lead them on the way, and at nighttime, he went in a pillar of fire to be light to them, so they could travel both in the daytime and at night. 22 The daytime pillar of cloud and the nighttime pillar of fire, didn’t ever leave their place ahead of the people.
Exo 14:22-29:
22 So then the Israelis entered through the middle of the sea on dry ground with a wall of water on each side of them.[ref] 23 However, the Mitsrim pursued after them. Every one of Par’oh’s horses and chariots and his horsemen also entered into the middle of the sea. 24 By now morning was coming and Yahweh looked down through the pillar of fire and cloud, and he caused confusion for the Mitsri army. 25 He caused the wheels of their chariots to turn unevenly so they became difficult to drive, and the Mitsrim complained, “Let’s retreat from following the Israelis, because Yahweh is fighting against Mitsrayim (Egypt) and for them.”
26 On the other side, Yahweh told Mosheh, “Stretch your arm out over the sea and the waters will flow back onto the Mitsrim and onto Par’oh’s chariots and his horsemen.” 27 So Mosheh stretched his arm out over the sea, and as the day broke, the sea began to return to its normal place. The Mitsrim turned and fled before its impact but Yahweh shook the Mitsrim off their horses and chariots in the middle of the sea. 28 So the sea returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen—even Par’oh’s entire army that had entered into the sea after the Israelis. Not even one of the pursuers remained. 29 But the Israelis had walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground with a wall of water on each side of them.
Exo 16:35:
35 The Israelis ate manna for forty years, until they eventually left the wilderness and came to the borders of the region of Kena’an (Canaan).[ref]
Exo 17:6:
6 Watch me. I will stand in front of you there on the rock at Horev. Then you will strike the rock and water will come out of it, and the people will drink.” So Mosheh did that while the Israeli elders watched.
Num 20:11:
11 Then Mosheh raised the staff and hit the rock twice, and water gushed out, and so the people and their animals were able to drink.
Num 14:29-30:
29 Indeed you’ll die there in the wilderness—all those men who were listed as being twenty years old and older that complained against me. 30 You all won’t enter that land that I would have used my power to settle you into. The only exceptions are Yefuneh’s son Kalev (Caleb) and Nun’s son Yehoshua (Joshua).
Num 11:4:
4 However, there was a group of stirrers among the people that badly wanted to have meat and other foods to eat. That spread to all the Israelis who wept and asked, “Who’ll give us meat to eat?
Exo 32:6:
6 So they got up early the next day and offered burnt offerings and brought peace offerings. Then the people sat down to eat and drink, then stood up to make merry.[ref]
Num 25:1-18:
25 Meanwhile, the Israelis settled down at Shitim, and their men started sleeping with women from Moav (Moab) 2 who then invited them to sacrifices to their idols. So the Israelis bowed down to the idols and ate at the feasts, 3 and when Yisrael (Israel) consecrated themselves to Ba’al-Pe’or, Yahweh’s anger burnt towards them. 4 Then Yahweh told Mosheh (Moses), “Execute all the people’s leaders and display their bodies in broad daylight, and then Yahweh’s anger might turn back away from Yisrael.”
5 So Mosheh to Yisrael’s judges, “Each of you must execute your men who have joined others to serve Ba’al-Pe’or.”
6 ⇔Just then, unbelievably, an Israeli man came past Mosheh and all the people who were there outside the sacred tent weeping, and he was bringing a Midyanite woman with him. 7 When Pinhas (son of Eleazar, son of Aharon (Aaron)) saw that, he came out from among the gathered people, grabbed a spear, 8 and followed the Israeli man into his tent. He plunged the spear through the two of them—right through the man and the woman’s belly, and thus, stopped the deadly disease that had started against the Israelis. 9 However,, twenty-four thousand people had already died from that plague.
10 Then Yahweh spoke to Mosheh, 11 “Aharon’s grandson Pinhas has deflected my anger from the Israelis by demonstrating my seriousness about their behaviour, so now in my zeal, I won’t eliminate the Israelis. 12 So tell him that I’m making a peace agreement with him. 13 It’s an agreement that gives him and his descendants the rights to be priests because he was zealous on his god’s behalf and he worked towards removing the guilt of the people.”
14 The Israeli man who was killed with the Midyanite woman was Salu’s son Zimri, a clan leader from the Shim’on (Simeon) tribe. 15 The Midyanite woman who was killed was Kozbi, the daughter of Tsur, a Midyanite clan leader.
16 Then Yahweh told Mosheh, 17 “Attack the Midyanites and destroy them 18 because they were treacherously deceiving you all over the matter of Pe’or and Kozbi, the daughter of one of their leaders who was killed on the day of the deadly disease at Mt. Pe’or.”
Num 21:5-6:
5 and they started to grumble against God and against Mosheh (Moses), “Why did you two bring us out of Mitsrayim (Egypt) just to die in the wilderness, because there’s no bread and no water, and our insides detest that tasteless ‘stuff’?”[ref] 6 So Yahweh sent poisonous snakes into the people, and many Israelis were bitten and died.
Num 16:41-49:
41 However, the next day the Israelis complained about Mosheh (Moses) and Aharon (Aaron), “It was you who killed Yahweh’s people.” 42 But as the community gathered there against Mosheh and Aharon, they looked across to the sacred tent, and wow, the cloud covered over it and Yahweh’s brilliance appeared. 43 Mosheh and Aharon went over to the front of the sacred tent, 44 and Yahweh told Mosheh, 45 “Get away from this gathering and then I’ll finish them in an instant.”
But Mosheh and Aharon fell to their knees with their faces to the ground, 46 and Mosheh told Aharon, “Take the incense burner, and put fire in it from the altar and incense, and take it quickly to the people and make atonement for them, because Yahweh’s rage is already burning—the deadly disease has begun.” 47 So Aharon took it as Mosheh had told him and ran into the middle of the people. Wow, the deadly disease had already begun, so he burnt incense and made atonement for them. 48 He stood between those who were dying and those still alive, and the deadly disease was restrained. 49 There were 14,700 people who died from the deadly disease, in addition to those who’d died due to Korah’s rebellion.
Mat 26:26-28:
26 Then during the meal, Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) took some bread and blessed it, then he broke it into pieces and gave it to his apprentices, saying, “Take this and eat it—it’s my body.”
27 Then he took a cup of wine and after giving thanks, he shared it with them saying, “Everyone drink some, 28 because this is my blood[ref] of the agreement[ref] which is about to be poured out for the forgiveness of the sins of many people.
