Exodus 16:1-14
1Then they setH5265 out from ElimH362, and allH3605 the congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to the wildernessH4057 of 1SinH5512, whichH834 is betweenH996 ElimH362 and SinaiH5514, on 2the fifteenthH2568H6240 dayH3117 of the secondH8145 monthH2320 after their departureH3318 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 2The wholeH3605 congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 3grumbledH3885 againstH5921 MosesH4872 and AaronH175 in the wildernessH4057. 3The sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to them, “4WouldH4310H5414 that we had diedH4191 by the Lord’sH3068 handH3027 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, 5when we satH3427 by the potsH5518 of 6meatH1320, when we ateH398 breadH3899 to the fullH7648; for you have broughtH3318 us out into thisH2088 wildernessH4057 to killH4191 thisH2088 wholeH3605 assemblyH6951 with hungerH7458.”
4Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “BeholdH2009, 7I will rainH4305 breadH3899 from heavenH8064 for you; and the peopleH5971 shall goH3318 out and gatherH3950 a day’sH3117 portionH1697 every dayH3117, that I may 8testH5254 them, whether orH518 not they will walkH1980 in My 9instructionH8451. 510On the sixthH8345 dayH3117, when they prepareH3559 whatH834 they bringH935 in, it will be twiceH4932 as muchH834 as they gatherH3950 dailyH3117.” 6So MosesH4872 and AaronH175 saidH559 to allH3605 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, “At eveningH6153 1112you will knowH3045 that the LordH3068 has broughtH3318 you out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714; 7and in the morningH1242 13you will seeH7200 14the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068, for 15He hearsH8085 your grumblingsH8519 againstH5921 the LordH3068; and 16whatH4100 are we, that you grumbleH3885 againstH5921 us?” 8MosesH4872 saidH559, “This will happen when the LordH3068 givesH5414 you 17meatH1320 to eatH398 in the eveningH6153, and breadH3899 to the fullH7646 in the morningH1242; for the LordH3068 hearsH8085 your grumblingsH8519 whichH834 you grumbleH3885 againstH5921 Him. And whatH4100 are we? Your grumblingsH8519 are 18not againstH5921 us but againstH5921 the LordH3068.”
9Then MosesH4872 saidH559 to AaronH175, “SayH559 to allH3605 the congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, ‘19ComeH7126 nearH7126 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, for He has heardH8085 your grumblingsH8519.’” 10It cameH1961 about as AaronH175 spokeH1696 to the wholeH3605 congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, that they 20lookedH6437 towardH413 the wildernessH4057, and beholdH2009, 21the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 appearedH7200 in the cloudH6051. 11And the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 12“22I have heardH8085 the grumblingsH8519 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478; speakH1696 to them, sayingH559, ‘23At twilightH6153 you shall eatH398 24meatH1320, and in the morningH1242 you shall be filledH7646 with breadH3899; and 25you shall knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.’”
13So it cameH1961 about at eveningH6153 that 26the quailsH7958 cameH5927 up and coveredH3680 the campH4264, and in the morningH1242 27there was a layerH7902 of dewH2919 aroundH5439 the campH4264. 1428When the layerH7902 of dewH2919 29evaporatedH5927, beholdH2009, on the 30surfaceH6440 of the wildernessH4057 31there was a fineH1851 flake-likeH2636 thingH2636, fineH1851 as the frostH3713 on the groundH776.
