The purpose of this next lesson is for the class members to learn what it means to “partake of the Lord’s spiritual water and bread, sustain his chosen leaders, and obey his commandments so he can make of them a “holy nation.”
It covers the Israelites murmuring because they were hungry and thirsty, and then how the Lord blessed them with water, manna and quail. It compares the water that came from the rock Moses hit with his staff and the manna that fell from the sky to the precepts of Mormonism, and is basically another lesson on how you can work your way into the presence of God.
