The generation of Hebrews that escaped Egypt died in the wilderness, never to possess what they left for. They left behind a legacy of murmuring, complaining, and unbelief.

Daily Readings in the Bible Exodus 16-18

The children of Israel proved to have short memories. They forgot about the ten plagues and the exodus from Egypt. The Red Sea parting was a distant memory.

Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham.
