Exodus 16:10-35
10It cameH1961 about as AaronH175 spokeH1696 to the wholeH3605 congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, that they 1lookedH6437 towardH413 the wildernessH4057, and beholdH2009, 2the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 appearedH7200 in the cloudH6051. 11And the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 12“3I have heardH8085 the grumblingsH8519 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478; speakH1696 to them, sayingH559, ‘4At twilightH6153 you shall eatH398 5meatH1320, and in the morningH1242 you shall be filledH7646 with breadH3899; and 6you shall knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.’”
13So it cameH1961 about at eveningH6153 that 7the quailsH7958 cameH5927 up and coveredH3680 the campH4264, and in the morningH1242 8there was a layerH7902 of dewH2919 aroundH5439 the campH4264. 149When the layerH7902 of dewH2919 10evaporatedH5927, beholdH2009, on the 11surfaceH6440 of the wildernessH4057 12there was a fineH1851 flake-likeH2636 thingH2636, fineH1851 as the frostH3713 on the groundH776. 15When the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 it, they saidH559 to oneH376 anotherH251, “13WhatH4478 is it?” For they did not knowH3045 whatH4100 it was. And MosesH4872 saidH559 to them, “14It is the breadH3899 whichH834 the LordH3068 has givenH5414 you to eatH402. 16ThisH2088 is 15whatH1697H834 the LordH3068 has commandedH6680, ‘GatherH3950 of it everyH376 manH376 16as muchH6310 as he should eatH398; you shall takeH3947 1718an omerH6016 apieceH1538 according to the numberH4557 of personsH5315 eachH376 of you hasH3947 in his tentH168.’” 17The sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 soH3651, and some gatheredH3950 muchH7235 and some littleH4591. 18When they measuredH4058 it with an omerH6016, 19he who hadH7235 gathered muchH7235 had noH3808 excessH5736, and he who hadH4591 gathered littleH4591 had noH3808 lackH2637; everyH376 manH376 gatheredH3950 20as muchH6310 as he should eatH398. 19MosesH4872 saidH559 to them, “21Let noH408 manH376 leaveH3498 anyH4480 of it untilH5704 morningH1242.” 20But they did not listenH8085 to MosesH4872, and someH376 leftH3498 part of it untilH5704 morningH1242, and it bredH7426 wormsH8438 and becameH887 foulH887; and MosesH4872 was angryH7107 with them. 21They gatheredH3950 it morningH1242 by morningH1242, everyH376 manH376 22as muchH6310 as he should eatH398; but when the sunH8121 grewH2552 hotH2552, it would meltH4549.
2223Now on the sixthH8345 dayH3117 they gatheredH3950 twiceH4932 as muchH4932 breadH3899, twoH8147 omersH6016 for eachH259 oneH259. When allH3605 the 24leadersH5387 of the congregationH5712 cameH935 and toldH5046 MosesH4872, 23then he saidH559 to them, “ThisH1931 is whatH834 the LordH3068 25meantH1696: 26TomorrowH4279 is a sabbathH7677 observanceH7677, a holyH6944 sabbathH7676 to the LordH3068. BakeH644 whatH834 you will bakeH644 and boilH1310 whatH834 you will boilH1310, and 27allH3605 that is leftH5736 overH5736 28putH5117 asideH5117 to be keptH4931 untilH5704 morningH1242.” 24So they 29putH5117 it asideH5117 untilH5704 morningH1242, as MosesH4872 had orderedH6680, and 30it did not becomeH887 foulH887 norH3808 was there any wormH7415 in it. 25MosesH4872 saidH559, “EatH398 it todayH3117, for todayH3117 is a sabbathH7676 to the LordH3068; todayH3117 you will not findH4672 it in the fieldH7704. 2631SixH8337 daysH3117 you shall gatherH3950 it, but on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, the sabbathH7676, there will be 32noneH3808.”
27It cameH1961 about on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 that someH4480 of the peopleH5971 wentH3318 out to gatherH3950, but they foundH4672 noneH3808. 28Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “33HowH575 longH5704 do you refuseH3985 to keepH8104 My commandmentsH4687 and My 34instructionsH8451? 29SeeH7200, 35the LordH3068 has givenH5414 you the sabbathH7676; thereforeH5921H3651 He givesH5414 you breadH3899 for two daysH3117 on the sixthH8345 dayH3117. RemainH3427 everyH376 manH376 in his placeH8478; let noH408 manH376 goH3318 out of his placeH4725 on the seventhH7637 dayH3117.” 30So the peopleH5971 restedH7673 on the seventhH7637 dayH3117.
31The houseH1004 of 36IsraelH3478 namedH7121H8034 it 37mannaH4478, and it was like 38corianderH1407 seedH2233, whiteH3836, and its tasteH2940 was like wafersH6838 with honeyH1706. 32Then MosesH4872 saidH559, “ThisH2088 is 39whatH1697H834 the LordH3068 has commandedH6680, ‘Let an omerfulH4393H6016 of it be keptH4931 throughout your generationsH1755, that they may seeH7200 the breadH3899 that I fedH398 you in the wildernessH4057, when I broughtH3318 you out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.’” 33MosesH4872 saidH559 to AaronH175, “40TakeH3947 a jarH6803 and putH5414 an omerfulH4393H6016 of mannaH4478 in it, and placeH5117 it beforeH6440 the LordH3068 to be keptH4931 throughout your generationsH1755.” 34As the LordH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872, so AaronH175 placedH5117 it beforeH6440 41the TestimonyH5715, to be keptH4931. 3542The sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 ateH398 the mannaH4478 fortyH705 yearsH8141, untilH5704 they cameH935 to an inhabitedH3427 landH776; they ateH398 the mannaH4478 untilH5704 they cameH935 to the borderH7097 of the landH776 of CanaanH3667.
