Exodus 16:1-9

1Then they set out from Elim, and all the congregation of the sons of Israel came to the wilderness of 1Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on 2the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure from the land of Egypt. 2The whole congregation of the sons of Israel 3grumbled against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. 3The sons of Israel said to them, “4Would that we had died by the Lord’s hand in the land of Egypt, 5when we sat by the pots of 6meat, when we ate bread to the full; for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.”

4Then the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, 7I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, that I may 8test them, whether or not they will walk in My 9instruction. 510On the sixth day, when they prepare what they bring in, it will be twice as much as they gather daily.” 6So Moses and Aaron said to all the sons of Israel, “At evening 1112you will know that the Lord has brought you out of the land of Egypt; 7and in the morning 13you will see 14the glory of the Lord, for 15He hears your grumblings against the Lord; and 16what are we, that you grumble against us?” 8Moses said, “This will happen when the Lord gives you 17meat to eat in the evening, and bread to the full in the morning; for the Lord hears your grumblings which you grumble against Him. And what are we? Your grumblings are 18not against us but against the Lord.”

9Then Moses said to Aaron, “Say to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, ‘19Come near before the Lord, for He has heard your grumblings.’”
