Quote:Exodus 16:34
As the Lord had commanded Moses, Aaron deposited it before the testimony to be preserved.
Just out of curiosity, I looked up what "testimony" means here and I found this translation:
Exodus 16:34 Wrote:As the Lord commanded Moses, Aaron put the manna with the tablets of the covenant law, so that it might be preserved.
So the "testimony" is the 10 Commandments. The manna (bread*) was preserved with the tablets in the Arch of the Covenant.
Robert's response:
Quote:Exodus 16:33:33. [...] Moses said to Aaron, Take one jug and put there an omerful of manna, and deposit it before the Lord to be preserved for your generations.
Rashi comments:
[...] deposit it before the Lord.
Before the Ark. This verse was not said until the Tent of Meeting was built, but it was written here in the section dealing with the manna. —
