Chp. 16 verses 27 -36 Chp. 17 verses 1 - 6: Even though they were commanded not to, some of the people went out on the seventh day to collect the Mann and there was none. Hashem rebukes Moshe for their action. They name the food from heaven Mann. Hashem commands Moshe to tell Aaron to place an omer of Mann in an earthenware container and place it with the Ark forever. The people ate the Mann for forty years until they reached the border of the land of Cannan. Chp. 17 begins with the people complaining to Moshe about a lack of water. Moshe asks them why they were complaining to him and why were they testing Hashem? Moshe complains to Hashem saying that that the people were ready to stone him. Then Hashem tells him to take in his hand the staff that he used in Egypt and hit the rock before the elders and the people would have water to drink. Moshe did so in the presence of the elders.
