DIET!!! ===== Again they began to clamor for Flesh to eat. Though abundantly supplied with Manna, they were not satisfied. The Israelites, during their bondage in Egypt, had been compelled to subsist on the plainest and simplest food; but the keen appetite induced by privation and hard labor had made it palatable. Many of the Egyptians, however, who were among them, had been accustomed to a luxurious diet; and these were the first to compain. At the giving of Manna, just before Israel reached Sinai, the Lord had granted them Flesh in answer to their clamors; but it was furnished them for only one day. God might as easily have provided them with Flesh as with Manna, but a restriction was placed upon them for their good. It was His purpose to supply them with food better suited to their wants than the feverish diet to which many had become accustomed in Egypt. The perverted appetite was to be brought into a more healthy state, that they might enjoy the food origionally provided for man-the fruits of the earth, which God gave to Adam and Eve in Eden. It was for this reason the Israelites had been deprived, in a great measure, of Animal Food. (EGW PP pg 146) ==================================== Leave MEAT(flesh).
