Moses and the people were in the desert, but what was he going to do
with them? They had to be fed, and feeding 2 or 3 million people
requires a lot of food. According to the Quartermaster General in the
Army, it is reported that Moses would have to have had 1500 tons of
food each day. Do you know that to bring that much food each day, two
freight trains, each at least a mile long, would be required! Besides
you must remember, they were out in the desert, so they would have to
have firewood to use in cooking the food. This would take 4000 tons of
wood and a few more freight trains, each a mile long, just for one day.


And just think, they were forty years in transit.

And Oh yes! They would have to have water. If they only had enough to
drink and wash a few dishes, it would take 11,000,000 gallons each day
and a freight train with tank cars, 1800 miles long, just to bring
water!

And then another thing!

They had to get across the Red Sea at night. Now, if they went on a
narrow path, double file, the line would be 800 miles long and would
require 35 days and nights to get through. So there had to be a space
in the Red Sea, 3 miles wide so that they could walk 5000 abreast to
get over in one night.

But then, there is another problem...............each time they camped
at the end of the day, a campground two-thirds the size of the state of
Rhode Island was required, or a total of 750 square miles long........
think of it! This much space for camping.

Do you think Moses figured all this out before he left Egypt? I think
not! You see, Moses trusted in Jehovah. Jehovah took care of these
things for him.

Now do you think Jehovah has any problem taking care of all your needs?
