Pemikiran Yahudi Mazmur 78:24: Akeidat Yitzchak

Some difficulties in the text of our story. 1) Since this Manna, described as "bread from heaven," or "heavenly grain" (Psalms 78,24) can obviously not be from the world of pure spirits, the world of the abstract, why is it called "heavenly?" 2) Why did the Torah impose a restriction on the amount a person was to collect, as well as the need tc use a measure? Why not allow each person to collect as much as he wanted, just as in the case of the quail? 3) The report "they said to each other it is MAN, for they did not know what it was," seems somehow contradictory. Also, the wording should have been "they asked one another" instead of "they said to one another." 4) Why did G-d insist that they leave no leftovers for the following day? Since those that did try to preserve some watched it rot and decay and thus absorbed the lesson, why was Moses angry at them? Similarly, those who had gone to collect on the Sabbath and found that no Manna had fallen, surely had learned their lesson from that very fact? 5) Since the Torah reports that each person went to collect in accordance with the instructions, why does the Torah report that when they measured it after coming back to their tents, it corresponded to the quantities stipulated? 6) How could the people have found double quantities after coming home on Friday, without having noticed this at the time they collected it? (since the elders reported this fact to Moses full of surprise, this must have been so) 7) Why did the uncollected Manna melt at say 10 A.M.? Does this not appear very wasteful? Would it not have been better to let everyone collect a little more in order to dispose of the excess constructively? Why would the leftovers that were kept indoors not melt, but rather become worm eaten? 8) Why was there no Manna on the Sabbath? After all, it could have been collected with ease and eaten raw, so no violation of the Sabbath would be involved? Why does the Torah repeat that there would be no Manna on the Sabbath? 9) Why were those who had gone out to collect on the Sabbath treated as if they had deliberately flouted the entire Torah? (verse 28) If the rabbis say that the mitzvah of the Sabbath is equivalent to the sum total of all other mitzvot, we are entitled to have that statement explained to us! 10) Why was one single omer enough to be preserved for all times as a memento of the food the Isralites ate for forty years? 11) Why does the Torah repeat the passage about the Israelites eating Manna for forty years? (verse 35) Our sages say that the Manna stopped falling after Moses died. However, it remained in storage for thirty days after that, until the Israelites crossed the Jordan. What was the need for that miracle? 12) Our sages, who claim that Amalek's attack on Israel was prompted by Israel's complaints to G-d, did not explain what was so improper about a nation complaining to their leaders about their being thirsty? Why did G-d let things reach such a critical pitch as is described in our verse? Why did He not provide sooner?
