Exodus 16:9-18
9Then Moses said to Aaron, “Say to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, ‘1Come near before the Lord, for He has heard your grumblings.’” 10It came about as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, that they 2looked toward the wilderness, and behold, 3the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud. 11And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 12“4I have heard the grumblings of the sons of Israel; speak to them, saying, ‘5At twilight you shall eat 6meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread; and 7you shall know that I am the Lord your God.’”
13So it came about at evening that 8the quails came up and covered the camp, and in the morning 9there was a layer of dew around the camp. 1410When the layer of dew 11evaporated, behold, on the 12surface of the wilderness 13there was a fine flake-like thing, fine as the frost on the ground. 15When the sons of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “14What is it?” For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, “15It is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat. 16This is 16what the Lord has commanded, ‘Gather of it every man 17as much as he should eat; you shall take 1819an omer apiece according to the number of persons each of you has in his tent.’” 17The sons of Israel did so, and some gathered much and some little. 18When they measured it with an omer, 20he who had gathered much had no excess, and he who had gathered little had no lack; every man gathered 21as much as he should eat.
