Moses “came to the mountain of God” (Exodus 3:1; see also v. 12; 19:1–3). | |
Jehovah multiplied signs and wonders (see Exodus 7:3; see also Exodus 7–11). | |

(John 6:4) |
God gave Israel manna or “bread from heaven” (Exodus 16:4; see vv. 3–35; Deuteronomy 8:3). | |
The Lord told the people to gather only what they needed each day so nothing was wasted (see Exodus 16:16–30). | |
The Lord promised to raise up a Prophet like Moses (see Deuteronomy 18:15–18). | |
