The 1 Chronicles 7:20-24 is interesting too. Stories about Ephraim's children and grandchildren fighting Philistines while they should have been making mud bricks in Egypt.
or birds were sent because they were in abundance and could sustain themselves on next to nothing, or on Manna/bread from Manna.
o.k. BTW do you imagine the quails flying up to the Israelites and dropping dead on the ground, or did the Israelites need to hunt them? I suppose they might throw a net over the quail when they try to nibble on the manna?
