Exodus 16:4-21
4Then saidH559 Jehovah unto MosesH4872, Behold, I will rainH4305 breadH3899 from heavenH8064 for you; and the peopleH5971 shall goH3318 out and gatherH3950 a day’sH3117 portion every dayH3117, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my lawH8451, or not. 5And it shall comeH935 to pass on the sixthH8345 dayH3117, that they shall prepareH3559 that which they bringH935 in, and it shall beH1961 twice as much as they gatherH3950 daily. 6And MosesH4872 and AaronH175 saidH559 unto all the children of IsraelH3478, At even, then ye shall knowH3045 that Jehovah hath broughtH3318 you out from the landH776 of EgyptH4714; 7and in the morningH1242, then ye shall seeH7200 the gloryH3519 of Jehovah; for that he heareth your murmurings against Jehovah: and what are we, that ye murmur against us? 8And MosesH4872 saidH559, This shall be, when Jehovah shall giveH5414 you in the eveningH6153 fleshH1320 to eatH398, and in the morningH1242 breadH3899 to the full; for that Jehovah heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against Jehovah. 9And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto AaronH175, SayH559 unto all the congregationH5712 of the children of IsraelH3478, Come near before Jehovah; for he hath heardH8085 your murmurings. 10And it came to pass, as AaronH175 spake unto the whole congregationH5712 of the children of IsraelH3478, that they lookedH7200 toward the wildernessH4057, and, behold, the gloryH3519 of Jehovah appearedH7200 in the cloudH6051. 11And Jehovah spake unto MosesH4872, sayingH559, 12I have heardH8085 the murmurings of the children of IsraelH3478: speakH1696 unto them, sayingH559, At even ye shall eatH398 fleshH1320, and in the morningH1242 ye shall be filled with breadH3899: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am Jehovah your GodH430.
13And it came to pass at even, that the quailsH7958 came up, and coveredH3680 the campH4264: and in the morningH1242 the dewH2919 lay roundH5439 about the campH4264. 14And when the dewH2919 that lay was goneH5927 up, behold, upon the faceH6440 of the wildernessH4057 a small round thing, small as the hoar-frost on the groundH776. 15And when the children of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 it, they saidH559 oneH376 to another, What is it? for they knewH3045 not what it was. And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto them, It is the breadH3899 which Jehovah hath givenH5414 you to eat. 16This is the thingH1697 which Jehovah hath commandedH6680, GatherH3950 ye of it every manH376 according to his eating; an omer a headH1538, according to the numberH4557 of your personsH5315, shall ye takeH3947 it, every manH376 for them that are in his tentH168. 17And the children of IsraelH3478 did soH3651, and gatheredH3950 some more, some less. 18And when they measuredH4058 it with an omer, he that gatheredH3950 muchH7235 had nothing over, and he that gatheredH3950 littleH4591 had no lackH2637; they gatheredH3950 every manH376 according to his eating. 19And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto them, Let no manH376 leaveH3498 of it till the morningH1242. 20Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto MosesH4872; but some of them leftH3498 of it until the morningH1242, and it bred wormsH8438, and becameH887 foul: and MosesH4872 was wroth with them.
21And they gatheredH3950 it morningH1242 by morningH1242, every manH376 according to his eating: and when the sunH8121 waxed hotH2552, it meltedH4549.
