God led Israel through the wilderness by a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. When these moved, Israel was to follow and move. When these stayed, they were to stop and wait for God to go forward. It was critical

When the priests made the bread for the tabernacle in the wilderness, they were to make the bread with fine flour. God could have given the instruction to just use flour, but He chose to
