23 When they came to Marah, they couldn’t drink Marah’s water because it was bitter. That’s why it was called Marah.[b] 24 The people complained against Moses, “What will we drink?” 25 Moses cried out to the Lord, and the Lord pointed out a tree to him. He threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. Exodus 15:23-27

The Lord made a regulation and a ruling there, and there he tested them. 26 The Lord said, “If you are careful to obey the Lord your God, do what God thinks is right, pay attention to his commandments, and keep all of his regulations, then I won’t bring on you any of the diseases that I brought on the Egyptians. I am the Lord who heals you.”   Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees. They camped there by the water.  Exodus 15:25-27

The fruit of the (uncompromisingly) righteous is a tree of life, and he who is wise captures human lives (for God as fishers of men – he gathers and receives them for eternity).  Proverbs 11:30

I am the Bread of Life [that gives life–the Living Bread].                  I Corinthians 11:24-26

And when He had given thanks, He broke [it] and said, Take, eat. This is My body, which is broken for you. Do this to call Me [affectionately] to remembrance. Similarly when supper was ended, He took the cup also, saying, This cup is the new covenant [ratified and established] in My blood. Do this, as often as you drink [it], to call Me [affectionately] to remembrance. For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are representing and signifying and proclaiming the fact of the Lord’s death until He comes [again].
