Wolfish, great answer. Actually, whether or not that is the reason for the miracle in the first place, it is obviously true anyhow, since the command to keep it forever was definitely because of what you said.

Avram, the thing is that we have three miracles before this. The ground, the fire, and the plague. Korach, Dassan and Aviram were wrong regardless of their point, but the 250 people seemingly really meant it, and Moshe Rabbeinu said that Hashem would pick out the one He wants. But I guess my Kasha is not that terrible, since the idea is that they weren’t supposed to question Moshe Rabbeinu.
