They were only to take that they needed for that day. This would show they trusted in God to provide for their needs. Any extra that was collected would rot by the next day. <br /><br />From David Guzik's commentary - <br />Because of God's strong command to battle against Amalek until they are completely conquered, many see the Amalekites as a picture of our flesh - which constantly battles against the spirit and must be struggled against until completely conquered (Galatians 5:17).<br />Israel later disobeyed this command to constantly war against Amalek in the days of Saul. This was the primary act of disobedience that cost Saul the throne (1 Samuel 15:2-9 and 1 Samuel 28:18).<br /><br /> Why??? I thought this is a gift from God? Is it just a form of fasting?? - <br />In this situation, God wanted the people to demonstrate their desire for purity by putting on clean clothes and restraining the flesh.<br />- so yes, it was kind of like fasting. :)Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672835339386027457noreply@blogger.com
