Exodus 16:16-36

16This is the thingH1697 whichH834 YhwhH3068 hath commandedH6680, GatherH3950 of it every manH376 accordingH6310 to his eatingH400, an omerH6016 for every manH1538, according to the numberH4557 of your personsH5315; takeH3947 ye every manH376 for them which are in his tentsH168.12 17And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 so, and gatheredH3950, some moreH7235, some lessH4591. 18And when they did meteH4058 it with an omerH6016, he that gathered muchH7235 had nothing overH5736, and he that gathered littleH4591 had no lackH2637; they gatheredH3950 every manH376 accordingH6310 to his eatingH400. 19And MosesH4872 saidH559, Let no manH376 leaveH3498 of it till the morningH1242. 20Notwithstanding they hearkenedH8085 not unto MosesH4872; but someH582 of them leftH3498 of it until the morningH1242, and it bredH7311 wormsH8438, and stankH887: and MosesH4872 was wrothH7107 with them. 21And they gatheredH3950 it every morningH1242, every manH376 accordingH6310 to his eatingH400: and when the sunH8121 waxed hotH2552, it meltedH4549.

22And it came to pass, that on the sixthH8345 dayH3117 they gatheredH3950 twiceH4932 as much breadH3899, twoH8147 omersH6016 for oneH259 man: and all the rulersH5387 of the congregationH5712 cameH935 and toldH5046 MosesH4872. 23And he saidH559 unto them, This is that which YhwhH3068 hath saidH1696, To morrowH4279 is the restH7677 of the holyH6944 sabbathH7676 unto YhwhH3068: bakeH644 that which ye will bakeH644 to day, and seetheH1310 that ye will seetheH1310; and that whichH3605 remaineth overH5736 lay upH3240 for you to be keptH4931 until the morningH1242. 24And they laid it upH3240 till the morningH1242, as MosesH4872 badeH6680: and it did not stinkH887, neither was there any wormH7415 therein. 25And MosesH4872 saidH559, EatH398 that to dayH3117; for to dayH3117 is a sabbathH7676 unto YhwhH3068: to dayH3117 ye shall not findH4672 it in the fieldH7704. 26SixH8337 daysH3117 ye shall gatherH3950 it; but on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, which is the sabbathH7676, in it there shall be none.

27And it came to pass, that there went outH3318 some of the peopleH5971 on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 for to gatherH3950, and they foundH4672 none. 28And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, How long refuseH3985 ye to keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my lawsH8451? 29SeeH7200, for that YhwhH3068 hath givenH5414 you the sabbathH7676, therefore he givethH5414 you on the sixthH8345 dayH3117 the breadH3899 of two daysH3117; abideH3427 ye every manH376 in his place, let no manH376 go outH3318 of his placeH4725 on the seventhH7637 dayH3117. 30So the peopleH5971 restedH7673 on the seventhH7637 dayH3117. 31And the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 calledH7121 the nameH8034 thereof MannaH4478: and it was like corianderH1407 seedH2233, whiteH3836; and the tasteH2940 of it was like wafersH6838 made with honeyH1706.

32And MosesH4872 saidH559, This is the thingH1697 which YhwhH3068 commandethH6680, FillH4393 an omerH6016 of it to be keptH4931 for your generationsH1755; that they may seeH7200 the breadH3899 wherewith I have fedH398 you in the wildernessH4057, when I brought you forthH3318 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 33And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto AaronH175, TakeH3947 aH259 potH6803, and putH5414 an omerH6016 fullH4393 of mannaH4478 therein, and lay it upH3240 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068, to be keptH4931 for your generationsH1755. 34As YhwhH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872, so AaronH175 laid it upH3240 beforeH6440 the TestimonyH5715, to be keptH4931. 35And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did eatH398 mannaH4478 fortyH705 yearsH8141, until they cameH935 to a landH776 inhabitedH3427; they did eatH398 mannaH4478, until they cameH935 unto the bordersH7097 of the landH776 of CanaanH3667. 36Now an omerH6016 is the tenthH6224 part of an ephahH374.
