Exodus 16:3-13

3And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of Yhwh in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.

4Then said Yhwh unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.1 5And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily. 6And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that Yhwh hath brought you out from the land of Egypt: 7And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of Yhwh; for that he heareth your murmurings against Yhwh: and what are we, that ye murmur against us? 8And Moses said, This shall be, when Yhwh shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that Yhwh heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against Yhwh.

9And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before Yhwh: for he hath heard your murmurings. 10And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of Yhwh appeared in the cloud.

11And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying, 12I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am Yhwh your God. 13And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.
