Yet Israel followed their prophet, and miracle followed miracle. The Lord parted the Red Sea so that they might pass through on dry ground. He destroyed the pursuing army of Egypt, fed the Israelites manna or food from heaven, and brought forth water from a rock. He scattered their enemies before them, leading them in a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. Notwithstanding it all, still there were those who murmured and reviled against Moses and against God.
