1 They took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt. Exodus 16:1WEB
2 The whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness; Exodus 16:2WEB
3 and the children of Israel said to them, “We wish that we had died by YHWH’s hand in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots, when we ate our fill of bread, for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.” Exodus 16:3WEB
4 Then YHWH said to Moses, “Behold, I will rain bread from the sky for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law or not. Exodus 16:4WEB
5 It shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall prepare that which they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.” Exodus 16:5WEB
6 Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, “At evening, you shall know that YHWH has brought you out from the land of Egypt. Exodus 16:6WEB
7 In the morning, you shall see YHWH’s glory; because he hears your murmurings against YHWH. Who are we, that you murmur against us?” Exodus 16:7WEB
8 Moses said, “Now YHWH will give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you, because YHWH hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against YHWH.” Exodus 16:8WEB
9 Moses said to Aaron, “Tell all the congregation of the children of Israel, ‘Come close to YHWH, for he has heard your murmurings.’” Exodus 16:9WEB
10 As Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, YHWH’s glory appeared in the cloud. Exodus 16:10WEB
11 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, Exodus 16:11WEB
12 “I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, ‘At evening you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am YHWH your God.’” Exodus 16:12WEB
13 In the evening, quail came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay around the camp. Exodus 16:13WEB
14 When the dew that lay had gone, behold, on the surface of the wilderness was a small round thing, small as the frost on the ground. Exodus 16:14WEB
15 When the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they didn’t know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread which YHWH has given you to eat. Exodus 16:15WEB
16 This is the thing which YHWH has commanded: ‘Gather of it everyone according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, you shall take it, every man for those who are in his tent.’” Exodus 16:16WEB
17 The children of Israel did so, and some gathered more, some less. Exodus 16:17WEB
18 When they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack. They each gathered according to his eating. Exodus 16:18WEB
19 Moses said to them, “Let no one leave of it until the morning.” Exodus 16:19WEB
20 Notwithstanding they didn’t listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, so it bred worms and became foul; and Moses was angry with them. Exodus 16:20WEB
21 They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted. Exodus 16:21WEB
22 On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one; and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses. Exodus 16:22WEB
23 He said to them, “This is that which YHWH has spoken, ‘Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to YHWH. Bake that which you want to bake, and boil that which you want to boil; and all that remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning.’” Exodus 16:23WEB
24 They laid it up until the morning, as Moses ordered, and it didn’t become foul, and there were no worms in it. Exodus 16:24WEB
25 Moses said, “Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to YHWH. Today you shall not find it in the field. Exodus 16:25WEB
26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none.” Exodus 16:26WEB
27 On the seventh day, some of the people went out to gather, and they found none. Exodus 16:27WEB
28 YHWH said to Moses, “How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws? Exodus 16:28WEB
29 Behold, because YHWH has given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days. Everyone stay in his place. Let no one go out of his place on the seventh day.” Exodus 16:29WEB
30 So the people rested on the seventh day. Exodus 16:30WEB
31 The house of Israel called its name “Manna”, and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey. Exodus 16:31WEB
32 Moses said, “This is the thing which YHWH has commanded, ‘Let an omer-full of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’” Exodus 16:32WEB
33 Moses said to Aaron, “Take a pot, and put an omer-full of manna in it, and lay it up before YHWH, to be kept throughout your generations.” Exodus 16:33WEB
34 As YHWH commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept. Exodus 16:34WEB
35 The children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan. Exodus 16:35WEB
36 Now an omer is one tenth of an ephah. Exodus 16:36WEB
