Sergent suggested that the Israelites were poisoned by hemlock seeds that the quails had ingested. He was able to reproduce an experimental poisoning in dogs that were fed Algerian quail that had eaten hemlock seeds. However, in no case was the illness fatal.

They knew from the manna that they were to gather enough for each day’s provision, but with the quail, they hoarded it in abundance. They didn’t believe that God would provide for their daily need so they stock pile their own meat source.

In 1446 B.C. manna was the food God gave to the Israelites during their 40-year wandering in the desert. God told Moses he would rain down bread from heaven for the people. In the evening quail came, covered the camp, and the people killed the birds and ate their meat.

The Israelites ate domesticated birds such as pigeons, turtledoves, ducks, and geese, and wild birds such as quail, and partridge.

Jesus was poor, and he ate the foods of the poor. He probably just ate two times a day – in the morning and in the evening.

According to Jesus, the way to get clean on the outside is to be clean on the inside. And for that it is necessary to eat bread, but not like any bread you’ve ever bought at the bakery. “God’s favorite food is bread because he saved the Israelites with manna (a kind of bread),” says Emily, 12.

Seven is the number of completeness and perfection (both physical and spiritual). It derives much of its meaning from being tied directly to God’s creation of all things. The word ‘created’ is used 7 times describing God’s creative work (Genesis 1:1, 21, 27 three times; 2:3; 2:4).

The number 777 represents the last day of Creation and is also related to Jesus. The number 777 represents seven days of Creation. According to the Book of Genesis, it is said that God rested on the seventh day of Creation. It is written in the Bible that God used the number 7 as a symbol of complete work.
