Exodus 16:4-21

4Then the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, 1I 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 2test them, whether or not they will walk in My 3instruction. 54On 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 56you will know that the Lord has brought you out of the land of Egypt; 7and in the morning 7you will see 8the glory of the Lord, for 9He hears your grumblings against the Lord; and 10what 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 11not against us but against the Lord.”

9Then Moses said to Aaron, “Say to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, ‘12Come forward before the Lord, for He has heard your grumblings.’” 10And it came about, as Aaron spoke to the entire congregation of the sons of Israel, that they 13looked toward the wilderness, and behold, 14the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud. 11And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 12“15I have heard the grumblings of the sons of Israel; speak to them, saying, ‘16At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread; and 17you shall know that I am the Lord your God.’”

13So it came about at evening that 18the quails came up and covered the camp, and in the morning 19there was a layer of dew around the camp. 1420When the layer of dew 21evaporated, behold, on the 22surface of the wilderness 23there was a fine flake-like thing, fine as the frost on the ground. 15When the sons of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “24What is it?” For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, “25It is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat. 16This is 26what the Lord has commanded: ‘Everyone gather 27as much as he will eat; you shall take 2829an omer apiece according to the number of people each of you has in his tent.’” 17The sons of Israel did so, and some gathered much and some little. 18When they measured it by the 30omer, 31the one who had gathered much did not have too much, and the one who had gathered little did not have too little; everyone gathered 32as much as he would eat. 19Moses said to them, “33No one is to leave any of it until morning.” 20But they did not listen to Moses, and some left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and stank; and Moses was angry with them. 21They gathered it morning by morning, everyone 34as much as he would eat; but when the sun became hot, it would melt.
