    The Bible states that manna tasted like wafers made with honey. This implies that it had a sweet and delicious flavor similar to honey. The comparison to wafers suggests a crispy and light texture. This description aligns with the accounts in the Bible where the Israelites received manna as a miraculous provision from God during their time in the wilderness. The taste of manna being similar to wafers made with honey would have been a pleasant and satisfying experience for the people.

It states that God looked down on the Egyptian army and caused their chariot wheels to come off, making them unable to pursue the Israelites. This action played a crucial role in the drowning of the Egyptian army as they were left vulnerable and unable to escape the closing walls of water.

    A. "Appoint others to help settle disputes"
    Explanation
    Moses' father-in-law advised him to appoint others to help settle disputes. This advice was important because Moses was overwhelmed with the task of settling disputes among the people on his own. By delegating this responsibility to others, Moses was able to distribute the workload and ensure that justice was served efficiently. This also allowed Moses to focus on other important tasks and responsibilities as a leader.

This suggests that God believed that these specific groups of people would be receptive to Moses' message and instructions. It implies that the elders, who held positions of authority and influence, would be willing to heed Moses' words. Additionally, the mention of Pharaoh indicates that even the ruler of Egypt would eventually listen to Moses, albeit after witnessing the various plagues and miracles that God would unleash upon Egypt.
