Theological / Devotional

Ten men of an hundred. With so large a number of people encamped in one place, it was difficult to procure enough food for all. One tenth of the entire force, chosen perhaps by lot, were assigned the task of going out to gather food for the assembled forces. Thus one man was to provide food for nine men at the front.
