Exodus 16:9-18

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. 14And when the dewH2919 that layH7902 was gone upH5927, behold, upon the faceH6440 of the wildernessH4057 there lay a smallH1851 round thingH2636, as smallH1851 as the hoar frostH3713 on the groundH776. 15And when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 it, they saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH251, It is mannaH4478: for they wistH3045 not what it was. And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto them, This is the breadH3899 which YhwhH3068 hath givenH5414 you to eatH402.1

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 tentsH168.23 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.
