Exodus 16:16-25

16ThisH2088 is 1whatH1697H834 the LordH3068 has commandedH6680: ‘EveryoneH376 gatherH3950 2as muchH6310 as he will eatH398; you shall takeH3947 34an omerH6016 apieceH1538 according to the numberH4557 of peopleH5315 eachH376 of you has in his tentH168.’” 17The sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 soH3651, and some gatheredH3950 muchH7235 and some littleH4591. 18When they measuredH4058 it by the 5omerH6016, 6the one who had gatheredH7235 muchH7235 did not haveH5736 tooH5736 muchH5736, and the one who had gatheredH4591 littleH4591 did not haveH2637 tooH2637 littleH2637; everyoneH376 gatheredH3950 7as muchH6310 as he would eatH398. 19MosesH4872 saidH559 to them, “8NoH408 oneH376 is to 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 stankH887; and MosesH4872 wasH7107 angryH7107 with them. 21They gatheredH3950 it morningH1242 by morningH1242, everyoneH376 9as muchH6310 as he would eatH398; but when the sunH8121 becameH2552 hotH2552, it would meltH4549.

2210Now on the sixthH8345 dayH3117 they gatheredH3950 twiceH4932 asH4932 muchH4932 breadH3899, 11twoH8147 omersH6016 for eachH259 oneH259. When allH3605 the 12leadersH5387 of the congregationH5712 cameH935 and toldH5046 MosesH4872, 23then he saidH559 to them, “ThisH1931 is whatH834 the LordH3068 13meantH1696: 14TomorrowH4279 is a SabbathH7677 observanceH7677, a holyH6944 SabbathH7676 to the LordH3068. BakeH644 whatH834 you will bakeH644 and boilH1310 whatH834 you will boilH1310, and 15allH3605 that is leftH5736 overH5736 16putH5117 asideH5117 to be keptH4931 untilH5704 morningH1242.” 24So they putH5117 it asideH5117 untilH5704 morningH1242, as MosesH4872 had orderedH6680, and 17it did not stinkH887 norH3808 was there a maggotH7415 in it. 25Then MosesH4872 saidH559, “EatH398 it todayH3117, for todayH3117 is a SabbathH7676 to the LordH3068; todayH3117 you will not findH4672 it in the fieldH7704.
