Exodus 16:30-36

30So the people rested on the seventh day.

31The house of Israel named the substance manna. It resembled coriander seed, was white, and tasted like wafers made with honey.

32Moses said, “This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Two quarts of it are to be preserved throughout your generations, so that they may see the bread I fed you in the wilderness when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”

33Moses told Aaron, “Take a container and put two quarts of manna in it. Then place it before the Lord to be preserved throughout your generations.”

34As the Lord commanded Moses, Aaron placed it before the testimony to be preserved.

35The Israelites ate manna for forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate manna until they reached the border of the land of Canaan.

36(They used a measure called an omer, which held two quarts.)
