Who came to speak to משה to figure out why this had happened?
Can you guess why this happened?
(כג) וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲלֵהֶ֗ם ה֚וּא אֲשֶׁ֣ר דִּבֶּ֣ר ה' שַׁבָּת֧וֹן שַׁבַּת־קֹ֛דֶשׁ לַֽה' מָחָ֑ר אֵ֣ת אֲשֶׁר־תֹּאפ֞וּ אֵפ֗וּ וְאֵ֤ת אֲשֶֽׁר־תְּבַשְּׁלוּ֙ בַּשֵּׁ֔לוּ וְאֵת֙ כָּל־הָ֣עֹדֵ֔ף הַנִּ֧יחוּ לָכֶ֛ם לְמִשְׁמֶ֖רֶת עַד־הַבֹּֽקֶר׃ (כד) וַיַּנִּ֤יחוּ אֹתוֹ֙ עַד־הַבֹּ֔קֶר כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר צִוָּ֣ה מֹשֶׁ֑ה וְלֹ֣א הִבְאִ֔ישׁ וְרִמָּ֖ה לֹא־הָ֥יְתָה בּֽוֹ׃
(23) And he said to them: ‘This is that which the LORD has spoken: Tomorrow is a _____________ to the LORD. __________ which ye will __________, and ____________ that which ye will _____________; and all that remains store up for you to be kept until the morning.’ (24) And they stored t up till the morning, as Moses commanded; and it did not ____________, neither was there any _________ therein.
How does this connect to how we have 2 חלות on our שבת table?
What is a רמה?
Given that before when some Jews had tried to store the מן, it had rotted but this time it didn't, what does that show about how it worked?
(25) And Moses said: ‘Eat that ____________; for today is a sabbath unto the LORD; today you will not find it in the __________. (26) Six days you shall gather it; but on the ___________ day is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.’ (27) And it came to pass on the seventh day, that there some of the people __________________ to gather, and they found none.
Why, asked R' Meir of Premishlan, does the verse use the expression "but they did not find any," implying that there was manna but they couldn't find it. After all, the manna did not fall on Shabbos at all, so the verse should have read "but there wasn't any."
The wording of the verse, answered the rebbe, can be explained with what is taught in the Yalkut Shimoni. When Moshe Rabbeinu informed the Jews that the manna would not fall on Shabbos so they should gather a double portion on erev Shabbos, Dasan and Aviram thought of a scheme that would make it appear to the people that Moshe does not speak the truth.
"Moshe Rabbeinu is mistaken!" they announced to the people. "When you wake up on Shabbos morning, you will see that the manna will have fallen just as it falls on every other day of the week."
What did they do? Early Shabbos morning, before anyone else had risen, Dasan and Aviram quietly left their tents and maliciously scattered some of their manna around the tents of the Jewish people. This way, they reasoned, when the Jews wake up in the morning and see the manna, they will think that it had descended on Shabbos and that Moshe had lied to them.
Hashem, however, saw to it that their wicked scheme would not succeed. He sent birds to the Jewish encampment to eat all the manna that had been placed around the tents.
When the Jews awoke and saw that manna had not descended that day, they immediately declared, "Moshe is truth!"
This is why, concluded the rebbe, the verse states, "but they did not find any"as the Jewish people did not find any of the manna that Dasan and Aviram said they would find.
What does R' Meir of Premishlan think it ought to have said instead?
How does the Midrash above answer the question of why the pasuk says "but they did not find any?"
What lesson can we learn from this story?
(28) And the LORD said to Moses: ‘_____ ____________ do you refuse to keep My commandments and My laws? (29) See that the LORD has _______ you the _____________; therefore He gives you on the ___________ day the bread of two days; each man should sit/ dwell in his place, let no man __________ __________ his place on the seventh day.’ (30) So the ________ rested on the seventh day.
Do the people listen to Hashem after this scene? Which פסוק shows whether or not they do?
מי אמר למי the quote "עד אנה מאנתם לשמר מצותי ותורתי?"

(31) And the house of Israel called the name thereof _____________; and it was like coriander __________, ____________; and the taste of it was like wafers made with _________.

What was its natural taste? (The midrash says it could taste like anything- but what was the original flavor)
(32) And Moses said: ‘This is the _____________ which the LORD has _________: Let an ____________ of it be kept throughout your generations; that they may see the _____________ which I fed you in the _____________, when I brought you forth from the land of _____________.’ (33) And Moses said unto Aaron: ‘Take a jar, and put an omerful of manna therein, and lay it before the LORD, to be kept throughout your generations.’ (34) As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it before the ___________, to be kept.
What is a משמרת?
Why does ה want the עומר of מן to be kept for generations?
Where exactly is it supposed to be kept- what is the עדת?
Who is in charge of putting it there?
מי אמר למי the quote " קח צנצנת אחת ותן שמה מלא העמר"
(35) And the ____ _________ did eat the manna _______ years, until they came to an inhabited land; they did eat the manna, until they came to the __________ of the land of _________. (36) Now an omer is 1/10th part of an ephah.
When did they switch over to a different kind of food or bread substance?
Why do you think they needed to make that switch at that time?
