The Name: “Elim”
The Israelites had suffered as slaves under the harsh oppression of Pharaoh and the Egyptians. Moses was chosen by God to lead His people out of slavery into the Promised Land. The Lord miraculously saved His people by crushing their foes with explosive waters as the Red Sea was released upon them. The Jews then began their journey through the hot, dry desert. Their first stop Marah. A miracle changed the water from bitter to sweet. The next stop for God’s chosen people is found in Exodus 15:27…
Ex 15:27 Then they came to Elim where there were twelve springs of water and seventy date palms, and they camped there beside the waters. NASU
