Exodus 16:3-13
3The sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to them, “1WouldH4310H5414 that we had diedH4191 by the Lord’sH3068 handH3027 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, 2when we satH3427 by the potsH5518 of 3meatH1320, 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, 4I will rainH4305 breadH3899 from heavenH8064 for you; and the peopleH5971 shall goH3318 out and gatherH3950 a day’sH3117 portionH1697 every dayH3117, that I may 5testH5254 them, whether orH518 not they will walkH1980 in My 6instructionH8451. 57On 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 89you will knowH3045 that the LordH3068 has broughtH3318 you out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714; 7and in the morningH1242 10you will seeH7200 11the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068, for 12He hearsH8085 your grumblingsH8519 againstH5921 the LordH3068; and 13whatH4100 are we, that you grumbleH3885 againstH5921 us?” 8MosesH4872 saidH559, “This will happen when the LordH3068 givesH5414 you 14meatH1320 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 15not againstH5921 us but againstH5921 the LordH3068.”
9Then MosesH4872 saidH559 to AaronH175, “SayH559 to allH3605 the congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, ‘16ComeH7126 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 17lookedH6437 towardH413 the wildernessH4057, and beholdH2009, 18the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 appearedH7200 in the cloudH6051. 11And the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 12“19I have heardH8085 the grumblingsH8519 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478; speakH1696 to them, sayingH559, ‘20At twilightH6153 you shall eatH398 21meatH1320, and in the morningH1242 you shall be filledH7646 with breadH3899; and 22you shall knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.’”
13So it cameH1961 about at eveningH6153 that 23the quailsH7958 cameH5927 up and coveredH3680 the campH4264, and in the morningH1242 24there was a layerH7902 of dewH2919 aroundH5439 the campH4264.
