Exodus 16:2-9

2But the whole congregation of the sons of Israel 1grumbled against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. 3The sons of Israel said to them, “2If only we had died by the Lord’s hand in the land of Egypt, 3when we sat by the pots of meat, when we ate bread until we were full; for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this entire assembly with hunger!”

4Then the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, 4I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, so that I may 5test them, whether or not they will walk in My 6instruction. 57On the sixth day, when they prepare what they bring in, it will be twice as much as they gather daily.” 6So Moses and Aaron said to all the sons of Israel, “At evening 89you will know that the Lord has brought you out of the land of Egypt; 7and in the morning 10you will see 11the glory of the Lord, for 12He hears your grumblings against the Lord; and 13what are we, that you grumble against us?” 8And Moses said, “This will happen when the Lord gives you meat to eat in the evening, and bread to the full in the morning; for the Lord hears your grumblings which you grumble against Him. And what are we? Your grumblings are 14not against us but against the Lord.”

9Then Moses said to Aaron, “Say to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, ‘15Come forward before the Lord, for He has heard your grumblings.’”
