Turned Into Bread
The Adonim had, in a way, crossed lines established by Sefira, in their pursuit of food. Shortly after, they came across the fish nearby and proceeded to gorge upon them. No sooner did they begin their feasting than they choked on the bones that were still within. The Lesser Darkness had deceived them for her own amusement, and now felt that she had matched her uncle's fatal plague against gluttons who each attempted to eat an entire month's supply of quail in one sitting.
"You of little faith, why did you doubt?" she recited her feigned disappointment, before disintegrating the fishbones for the sake of her victims.
Interpreting their choking as punishment for leaving their homes, the playthings rushed back swiftly, only to find that the long trenches they crossed earlier had now become frightening chasms of certain death. What followed shocked them to the core of their being, for they were enjoined to walk on thin air.
"Take leaps of faith," cooed their tormentor.
While those created in the new image of the Darkness and God pleaded for and obtained forgiveness, they could not avoid the challenge. Not one of them avoided falling along the way for lack of faith, only to be saved immediately and rebuked by their maker.
After enjoining the Adonim to go through the psychological ordeal of crossing the chasms with no pathway beneath them, Sefira presented each of them with stones.
"If you have faith the size of a mustard seed," she recited again, preparing for the miraculous feats to come.
"You will," she prepared to recite her challenge, "command these stones to become loaves of bread."
Without hesitation, those who heard her did as they were told, and then the stones before them were turned into bread. In haste, the intelligent creations stuffed themselves with the bread.
After those in the new image of the Darkness and God had eaten their fill, it was felt by she who arose in might that parching, starving, and subsequently nourishing them had reinforced the preternatural lesson that they lived, even physically, not on the usual nourishments, but on what the Lesser Darkness decreed they could live on.
Author's Note: At face value, Sefira is making a mockery of Matthew 14:28-33 regarding leaps of faith and of the synoptic Matthew 4:1-4 and Luke 4:1-4 regarding spiritual vs. physical livelihood over the course of the two chapters, but more fundamentally she is really being irreverent towards the anti-gluttony plague in Numbers 11 and towards one passage in the Bible's first canonical book: Deuteronomy 8:2-3. This referred to consuming new kinds of nourishment for physical survival and obedience to that end. Little does she know that she herself is being observed.
