Exodus 16:13-18

13So it cameH1961 about at eveningH6153 that 1the quailsH7958 cameH5927 up and coveredH3680 the campH4264, and in the morningH1242 2there was a layerH7902 of dewH2919 aroundH5439 the campH4264.

143When the layerH7902 of dewH2919 4evaporatedH5927, beholdH2009, on the 5surfaceH6440 of the wildernessH4057 6there 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, “7WhatH4478 is it?” For they did not knowH3045 whatH4100 it was. And MosesH4872 saidH559 to them, “8It is the breadH3899 whichH834 the LordH3068 has givenH5414 you to eatH402.

16ThisH2088 is 9whatH1697H834 the LordH3068 has commandedH6680, ‘GatherH3950 of it everyH376 manH376 10as muchH6310 as he should eatH398; you shall takeH3947 1112an 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, 13he who hadH7235 gathered muchH7235 had noH3808 excessH5736, and he who hadH4591 gathered littleH4591 had noH3808 lackH2637; everyH376 manH376 gatheredH3950 14as muchH6310 as he should eatH398.
