Exodus 16:13-18

13

That eveningH6153 quailH7958 cameH5927 and coveredH3680 the campH4264, and in the morningH1242 there wasH1961 a layerH7902 of dewH2919 aroundH5439 the campH4264. 14When the layerH7902 of dewH2919 had evaporatedH5927, thereH2009 were thinH1851 flakesH2636 onH5921 the desertH4057 floorH6440, as fineH1851 as frostH3713 onH5921 the groundH776. 15When the IsraelitesH1121H3478 saw itH7200, they askedH559 oneH376H413 anotherH251, “WhatH4478 is itH1931?” ForH3588 they did notH3808 knowH3045 whatH4100 it wasH1931.

So MosesH4872 toldH559 themH413, “ItH1931 is the breadH3899 thatH834 the LORDH3068 has givenH5414 you to eatH402. 16ThisH2088H1697 is whatH834 the LORDH3068 has commandedH6680: ‘Each oneH376 is to gatherH3950 as muchH4480 asH6310 he needsH400. You may takeH3947 an omerH60161 for eachH1538H4557 personH5315H376 in your tentH168.’”

17So the IsraelitesH1121H3478 didH6213 thisH3651. Some gatheredH3950 moreH7235, and some lessH4591. 18When they measured itH4058 by the omerH6016, he who gathered muchH7235 had noH3808 excessH5736, and he who gathered littleH4591 had noH3808 shortfallH2637.2 Each oneH376 gatheredH3950 asH6310 much as he needed to eatH400.
