Exodus 16

1 And they departed from Aelim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came tothe wilderness of Sin, which is between Aelim and Sina; and on the fifteenth day, in the second monthafter their departure from the land of Egypt, 2 all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron. 3 And the children of Israel said to them, Would we had died struck by the Lord in the landof Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, and ate bread to satiety! for you⌃ have brought us out into thiswilderness, to kill all this congregation with hunger. 4 And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, Iwill rain bread upon you out of heaven: and the people shall go forth, and they shall gathertheir daily portion for the day, that I may try them whether they will walk in my law or not. 5 And it shall come to pass on the sixth day that they shall prepare whatever they havebrought in, and it shall be double of what they shall have gathered for the day, daily. 6 And Moses and Aaron said to all the congregation of the children of Israel, At even you⌃shall know that the Lord has brought you out of the land of Egypt; 7 and in the morning you⌃ shall see the glory of the Lord, inasmuch as he hears your murmuringagainst God; and who are we, that you⌃ continue to murmur against us? 8 And Moses said,This shall be when the Lord gives you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morningto satiety, because the Lord has heard your murmuring, which you⌃ murmur against us: and what are we?for your murmuring is not against us, but against God. 9 And Moses said to Aaron, Say to all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come nearbefore God; for he has heard your murmuring. 10 And when Aaron spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they turnedtoward the wilderness, then the glory of the Lord appeared in a cloud. 11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 12 I have heard the murmuring of the children of Israel: speak to them, saying, Towardsevening you⌃ shall eat flesh, and in the morning you⌃ shall be satisfied with bread; and you⌃ shall knowthat I am the Lord your God. 13 And it was evening, and quails came up and covered the camp: 14 in the morning it came to pass as the dew ceased round about the camp, that, behold,on the face of the wildernesswas a small thing like white coriander seed, as frost upon the earth. 15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, What is this? for theyknew not what it was; and Moses said to them, 16 Thisis the bread which the Lord has given you to eat. This is that which the Lord has appointed:gather of it each man for his family, a homer for each person, according to the number of your souls,gather each of you with his fellow-lodgers. 17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered some much and some less. 18 And having measured the homerfull, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that had gathered less had no lack; eachgathered according to the need of those who belonged to him. 19 And Moses said to them, Let no man leave of it till the morning. 20 But they did not hearken to Moses, but some left of it till the morning; and it bredworms and stank: and Moses was irritated with them. 21 And they gathered it every morning, each man what he needed, and when the sun waxed hotit melted. 22 And it came to pass on the sixth day, they gathered double what was needed, two homersfor oneman; and all the chiefs of the synagogue went in and reported it to Moses. 23 And Moses said to them, Is not this the word which the Lord spoke? To-morrowis the sabbath, a holy rest to the Lord: bake that you⌃ will bake, and seethe that you⌃ willseethe, and all that is over leave to be laid by for the morrow. 24 And they left of it till the morning, as Moses commanded them; and it stank not, neitherwas there a worm in it. 25 And Moses said, Eatthat today, for today is a sabbath to the Lord:it shall not be found in the plain. 26 Six days you⌃ shall gather it, and on the seventh day is a sabbath, for there shall benone on thatday. 27 And it came to pass on the seventh daythat some of the people went forth to gather, and found none. 28 And the Lord said to Moses, How long are you⌃ unwilling to hearken to my commands andmy law? 29 See, for the Lord has given you this dayas the sabbath, therefore he has given you on the sixth day the bread of two days: you⌃ shallsit each of you in your houses; let no one go forth from his place on the seventh day. 30 And the people kept sabbath on the seventh day. 31 And the children of Israel called the name of it Man; and it was as white coriander seed,and the taste of it as a wafer with honey. 32 And Moses said, Thisis the thing which the Lord has commanded, Fill an homer with manna, to be laid up for yourgenerations; that they may see the bread which you⌃ ate in the wilderness, when the Lord led you forthout of the land of Egypt. 33 And Moses said to Aaron, Take a golden pot, and cast into it one full homer of manna;and you shall lay it up before God, to be kept for your generations, 34 as the Lord commanded Moses: and Aaron laid it up before the testimony to be kept. 35 And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to the land they atethe manna, until they came to the region of Phoenicia. 36 Now the homer was the tenth part of three measures.
