Exodus 16
1. And they took their journey * from Elim,and all the congregation of the children of Israel came * unto 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.
2. And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured * against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
3. And the children of Israel said * unto them, Would to God * we had died * by the hand of the LORD 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.
4. Then said * the LORD 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.
5. And 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.
6. And Moses and Aaron said * unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know * that the LORD hath brought you out * from the land of Egypt:
7. And in the morning, then ye shall see * the glory of the LORD; for that he heareth * your murmurings against the LORD:and what are we, that ye murmur * against us?
8. And Moses said * , This shall be, when the LORD shall give * you in the evening flesh to eat * , and in the morning bread to the full * ; for that the LORD heareth * your murmurings which ye murmur * against him: and what are we?your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.
9. And Moses spake * unto Aaron, Say * unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near * before the LORD: for he hath heard * your murmurings.
10. And 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 the LORD appeared * in the cloud.
11. And the LORD spake * unto Moses, saying * ,
12. I 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 the LORD your God.
13. And 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.
14. And when the dew that lay was gone up * , behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing * , as small as the hoar frost on the ground.
15. And when the children of Israel saw * it, they said * one to another, It is manna: for they wist * not what it was. And Moses said * unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given * you to eat.
16. This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded * , Gather * of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take * ye every man for them which are in his tents.
17. And the children of Israel did * so, and gathered * , some more * , some less * .
18. And when they did mete * it with an omer, he that gathered much * had nothing over * , and he that gathered little * had no lack * ; they gathered * every man according to his eating.
19. And Moses said * , Let no man leave * of it till the morning.
20. Notwithstanding they hearkened * not unto Moses; but some of them left * of it until the morning, and it bred * worms,and stank * : and Moses was wroth * with them.
21. And they gathered * it every morning,every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot * , it melted * .
22. And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered * twice as much bread,two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came * and told * Moses.
23. And he said * unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said * , To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake * that which ye will bake * to day, and seethe * that ye will seethe * ; and that which remaineth over * lay up * for you to be kept until the morning.
24. And they laid it up * till the morning,as Moses bade * : and it did not stink * , neither was there any worm therein.
25. And Moses said * , Eat * that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find * it in the field.
26. Six days ye shall gather * it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
27. And it came to pass, that there went out * some of the people on the seventh day for to gather * , and they found * none.
28. And the LORD said * unto Moses,How long refuse * ye to keep * my commandments and my laws?
29. See * , for that the LORD hath given * you the sabbath, therefore he giveth * you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide * ye every man in his place, let no man go out * of his place on the seventh day.
30. So the people rested * on the seventh day.
31. And the house of Israel called * the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
32. And Moses said * , This is the thing which the LORD commandeth * , Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see * the bread wherewith I have fed * you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth * from the land of Egypt.
33. And Moses said * unto Aaron, Take * a pot, and put * an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up * before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.
34. As the LORD commanded * Moses,so Aaron laid it up * before the Testimony, to be kept.
35. And the children of Israel did eat * manna forty years, until they came * to a land inhabited * ; they did eat * manna, until they came * unto the borders of the land of Canaan.
36. Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
