Exodus 16:3-13

3The sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to them, “1IfH4310H5414 onlyH4310H5414 we had diedH4191 by the Lord’sH3068 handH3027 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, 2when we satH3427 by the potsH5518 of meatH1320, when we ateH398 breadH3899 untilH7648 we were fullH7648; for you have broughtH3318 us outH3318 into thisH2088 wildernessH4057 to killH4191 thisH2088 entireH3605 assemblyH6951 with hungerH7458!”

4Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “BeholdH2009, 3I will rainH4305 breadH3899 from heavenH8064 for you; and the peopleH5971 shall goH3318 outH3318 and gatherH3950 a day’sH3117 portionH1697 every dayH3117, soH4616 thatH4616 I may 4testH5254 them, whether orH518 not they will walkH1980 in My 5instructionH8451. 56On the sixthH8345 dayH3117, when they prepareH3559 whatH834 they bringH935 inH935, it will be twiceH4932 as muchH834 as they gatherH3950 dailyH3117.” 6So MosesH4872 and AaronH175 saidH559 to allH3605 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, “At eveningH6153 78you will knowH3045 that the LordH3068 has broughtH3318 you outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714; 7and in the morningH1242 9you will seeH7200 10the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068, for 11He hearsH8085 your grumblingsH8519 againstH5921 the LordH3068; and 12whatH4100 are we, that you grumbleH3885 againstH5921 us?” 8And MosesH4872 saidH559, “This will happen when the LordH3068 givesH5414 you meatH1320 to eatH398 in the eveningH6153, and breadH3899 to theH7646 fullH7646 in the morningH1242; for the LordH3068 hearsH8085 your grumblingsH8519 whichH834 you grumbleH3885 againstH5921 Him. And whatH4100 are we? Your grumblingsH8519 are 13not againstH5921 us but againstH5921 the LordH3068.”

9Then MosesH4872 saidH559 to AaronH175, “SayH559 to allH3605 the congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, ‘14ComeH7126 forwardH7126 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, for He has heardH8085 your grumblingsH8519.’” 10And it cameH1961 aboutH1961, as AaronH175 spokeH1696 to the entireH3605 congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, that they 15lookedH6437 towardH413 the wildernessH4057, and beholdH2009, 16the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 appearedH7200 in the cloudH6051. 11And the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 12“17I have heardH8085 the grumblingsH8519 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478; speakH1696 to them, sayingH559, ‘18At twilightH6153 you shall eatH398 meatH1320, and in the morningH1242 you shall be filledH7646 with breadH3899; and 19you shall knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.’”

13So it cameH1961 aboutH1961 at eveningH6153 that 20the quailsH7958 cameH5927 upH5927 and coveredH3680 the campH4264, and in the morningH1242 21there was a layerH7902 of dewH2919 aroundH5439 the campH4264.
