Exodus 16:2-13
2And the whole congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 murmuredH3885 against MosesH4872 and AaronH175 in the wildernessH4057: 3And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto them, Would to GodH5414H4310 we had diedH4191 by the handH3027 of YhwhH3068 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, when we satH3427 by the fleshH1320 potsH5518, and when we did eatH398 breadH3899 to the fullH7648; for ye have brought us forthH3318 into this wildernessH4057, to killH4191 this whole assemblyH6951 with hungerH7458.
4Then saidH559 YhwhH3068 unto MosesH4872, Behold, I will rainH4305 breadH3899 from heavenH8064 for you; and the peopleH5971 shall go outH3318 and gatherH3950 a certain rateH1697 every dayH3117, that I may proveH5254 them, whether they will walkH3212 in my lawH8451, or no.1 5And it shall come to pass, that on the sixthH8345 dayH3117 they shall prepareH3559 that whichH834 they bring inH935; and it shall be twiceH4932 as much as they gatherH3950 dailyH3117. 6And MosesH4872 and AaronH175 saidH559 unto all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, At evenH6153, then ye shall knowH3045 that YhwhH3068 hath brought you outH3318 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714: 7And in the morningH1242, then ye shall seeH7200 the gloryH3519 of YhwhH3068; for that he hearethH8085 your murmuringsH8519 against YhwhH3068: and what are weH5168, that ye murmurH3885 against us? 8And MosesH4872 saidH559, This shall be, when YhwhH3068 shall giveH5414 you in the eveningH6153 fleshH1320 to eatH398, and in the morningH1242 breadH3899 to the fullH7646; for that YhwhH3068 hearethH8085 your murmuringsH8519 which ye murmurH3885 against him: and what are weH5168? your murmuringsH8519 are not against us, but against YhwhH3068.
9And MosesH4872 spakeH559 unto AaronH175, SayH559 unto all the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Come nearH7126 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068: for he hath heardH8085 your murmuringsH8519. 10And it came to pass, as AaronH175 spakeH1696 unto the whole congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, that they lookedH6437 toward the wildernessH4057, and, behold, the gloryH3519 of YhwhH3068 appearedH7200 in the cloudH6051.
11And YhwhH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559, 12I have heardH8085 the murmuringsH8519 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: speakH1696 unto them, sayingH559, At evenH6153H996 ye shall eatH398 fleshH1320, and in the morningH1242 ye shall be filledH7646 with breadH3899; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am YhwhH3068 your GodH430. 13And it came to pass, that at evenH6153 the quailsH7958 came upH5927, and coveredH3680 the campH4264: and in the morningH1242 the dewH2919 layH7902 round aboutH5439 the hostH4264.
