I started reading the bible from the beginning, Genesis. I am now in Numbers and have recently finished Chapter 11 where it discusses God providing quail because the people were complaining about not having meat to eat. I wondered, if they had all of that livestock to offer in sacrifice for consecration of Aaron and his sons, for their sin, for their guilt, etc..., why did they not have livestock to slaughter for meat? Then it occurred to me that they must have had grain, since they also made grain offerings. Yet, they had to eat manna.
I don't understand. Is there a prohibition against using their livestock and grain to feed themselves that I missed. Can someone shed some light on this?
