13 God made a path in the seaand piled up the wateras he led them across.
14 He guided them during the daywith a cloud,and each night he led themwith a flaming fire.

18 They stubbornly tested Godand demanded from himwhat they wanted to eat.
19 They challenged God by saying,“Can God provide foodout here in the desert?
