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.

¹ And they took their journey ^H5265 from Elim, ^H362 and all the congregation ^H5712 of the children ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 came ^H935 unto the wilderness ^H4057 of Sin, ^H5512 which is between Elim ^H362 and Sinai, ^H5514 on the fifteenth ^{H2568 H6240} day ^H3117 of the second ^H8145 month ^H2320 after their departing out ^H3318 of the land ^H776 of Egypt. ^H4714

² And the whole congregation ^H5712 of the children ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 murmured ^H3885 against Moses ^H4872 and Aaron ^H175 in the wilderness: ^H4057

³ And the children ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 said ^H559 unto them, Would to God ^{H4310 H5414} we had died ^H4191 by the hand ^H3027 of the LORD ^H3068 in the land ^H776 of Egypt, ^H4714 when we sat ^H3427 by the flesh ^H1320 pots, ^H5518 and when we did eat ^H398 bread ^H3899 to the full; ^H7648 for ye have brought us forth ^H3318 into this wilderness, ^H4057 to kill ^H4191 this whole assembly ^H6951 with hunger. ^H7458

⁴ Then said ^H559 the LORD ^H3068 unto Moses, ^H4872 Behold, I will rain ^H4305 bread ^H3899 from heaven ^H8064 for you; and the people ^H5971 shall go out ^H3318 and gather ^H3950 a certain rate ^H1697 every day, ^{H3117 H3117} that I may prove ^H5254 them, whether they will walk ^H3212 in my law, ^H8451 or no.

⁵ And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth ^H8345 day ^H3117 they shall prepare ^H3559 that which ^H834 they bring in; ^H935 and it shall be twice ^H4932 as much as they gather ^H3950 daily. ^{H3117 H3117}

⁶ And Moses ^H4872 and Aaron ^H175 said ^H559 unto all the children ^H1121 of Israel, ^H3478 At even, ^H6153 then ye shall know ^H3045 that the LORD ^H3068 hath brought you out ^H3318 from the land ^H776 of Egypt: ^H4714

⁷ And in the morning, ^H1242 then ye shall see ^H7200 the glory ^H3519 of the LORD; ^H3068 for that he heareth ^H8085 your murmurings ^H8519 against the LORD: ^H3068 and what are we, ^H5168 that ye murmur ^{H3885 H3885} against us?

⁸ And Moses ^H4872 said, ^H559 This shall be, when the LORD ^H3068 shall give ^H5414 you in the evening ^H6153 flesh ^H1320 to eat, ^H398 and in the morning ^H1242 bread ^H3899 to the full; ^H7646 for that the LORD ^H3068 heareth ^H8085 your murmurings ^H8519 which ye murmur ^H3885 against him: and what are we? ^H5168 your murmurings ^H8519 are not against us, but against the LORD. ^H3068

⁹ And Moses ^H4872 spake ^H559 unto Aaron, ^H175 Say ^H559 unto all the congregation ^H5712 of the children ^H1121 of Israel, ^H3478 Come near ^H7126 before ^H6440 the LORD: ^H3068 for he hath heard ^H8085 your murmurings. ^H8519

¹⁰ And it came to pass, as Aaron ^H175 spake ^H1696 unto the whole congregation ^H5712 of the children ^H1121 of Israel, ^H3478 that they looked ^H6437 toward the wilderness, ^H4057 and, behold, the glory ^H3519 of the LORD ^H3068 appeared ^H7200 in the cloud. ^H6051

¹¹ And the LORD ^H3068 spake ^H1696 unto Moses, ^H4872 saying, ^H559

¹² I have heard ^H8085 the murmurings ^H8519 of the children ^H1121 of Israel: ^H3478 speak ^H1696 unto them, saying, ^H559 At even ^{H996 H6153} ye shall eat ^H398 flesh, ^H1320 and in the morning ^H1242 ye shall be filled ^H7646 with bread; ^H3899 and ye shall know ^H3045 that I am the LORD ^H3068 your God. ^H430

¹³ And it came to pass, that at even ^H6153 the quails ^H7958 came up, ^H5927 and covered ^H3680 the camp: ^H4264 and in the morning ^H1242 the dew ^H2919 lay ^H7902 round about ^H5439 the host. ^H4264

¹⁴ And when the dew ^H2919 that lay ^H7902 was gone up, ^H5927 behold, upon the face ^H6440 of the wilderness ^H4057 there lay a small ^H1851 round thing, ^H2636 as small ^H1851 as the hoar frost ^H3713 on the ground. ^H776

¹⁵ And when the children ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 saw ^H7200 it, they said ^H559 one ^H376 to another, ^H251 It is manna: ^H4478 for they wist ^H3045 not what it was. And Moses ^H4872 said ^H559 unto them, This is the bread ^H3899 which the LORD ^H3068 hath given ^H5414 you to eat. ^H402

¹⁶ This is the thing ^H1697 which ^H834 the LORD ^H3068 hath commanded, ^H6680 Gather ^H3950 of it every man ^H376 according ^H6310 to his eating, ^H400 an omer ^H6016 for every man, ^H1538 according to the number ^H4557 of your persons; ^H5315 take ^H3947 ye every man ^H376 for them which are in his tents. ^H168

¹⁷ And the children ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 did ^H6213 so, and gathered, ^H3950 some more, ^H7235 some less. ^H4591

¹⁸ And when they did mete ^H4058 it with an omer, ^H6016 he that gathered much ^H7235 had nothing over, ^H5736 and he that gathered little ^H4591 had no lack; ^H2637 they gathered ^H3950 every man ^H376 according ^H6310 to his eating. ^H400

¹⁹ And Moses ^H4872 said, ^H559 Let no man ^H376 leave ^H3498 of it till the morning. ^H1242

²⁰ Notwithstanding they hearkened ^H8085 not unto Moses; ^H4872 but some ^H582 of them left ^H3498 of it until the morning, ^H1242 and it bred ^H7311 worms, ^H8438 and stank: ^H887 and Moses ^H4872 was wroth ^H7107 with them.

²¹ And they gathered ^H3950 it every morning, ^H1242 every man ^H376 according ^H6310 to his eating: ^H400 and when the sun ^H8121 waxed hot, ^H2552 it melted. ^H4549

²² And it came to pass, that on the sixth ^H8345 day ^H3117 they gathered ^H3950 twice ^H4932 as much bread, ^H3899 two ^H8147 omers ^H6016 for one ^H259 man: and all the rulers ^H5387 of the congregation ^H5712 came ^H935 and told ^H5046 Moses. ^H4872

²³ And he said ^H559 unto them, This is that which the LORD ^H3068 hath said, ^H1696 To morrow ^H4279 is the rest ^H7677 of the holy ^H6944 sabbath ^H7676 unto the LORD: ^H3068 bake ^H644 that which ye will bake ^H644 to day, and seethe ^H1310 that ye will seethe; ^H1310 and that which ^H3605 remaineth over ^H5736 lay up ^H3240 for you to be kept ^H4931 until the morning. ^H1242

²⁴ And they laid it up ^H3240 till the morning, ^H1242 as Moses ^H4872 bade: ^H6680 and it did not stink, ^H887 neither was there any worm ^H7415 therein.

²⁵ And Moses ^H4872 said, ^H559 Eat ^H398 that to day; ^H3117 for to day ^H3117 is a sabbath ^H7676 unto the LORD: ^H3068 to day ^H3117 ye shall not find ^H4672 it in the field. ^H7704

²⁶ Six ^H8337 days ^H3117 ye shall gather ^H3950 it; but on the seventh ^H7637 day, ^H3117 which is the sabbath, ^H7676 in it there shall be none.

²⁷ And it came to pass, that there went out ^H3318 some of the people ^H5971 on the seventh ^H7637 day ^H3117 for to gather, ^H3950 and they found ^H4672 none.

²⁸ And the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 unto Moses, ^H4872 How long refuse ^H3985 ye to keep ^H8104 my commandments ^H4687 and my laws? ^H8451

²⁹ See, ^H7200 for that the LORD ^H3068 hath given ^H5414 you the sabbath, ^H7676 therefore he giveth ^H5414 you on the sixth ^H8345 day ^H3117 the bread ^H3899 of two days; ^H3117 abide ^H3427 ye every man ^H376 in his place, let no man ^H376 go out ^H3318 of his place ^H4725 on the seventh ^H7637 day. ^H3117

³⁰ So the people ^H5971 rested ^H7673 on the seventh ^H7637 day. ^H3117

³¹ And the house ^H1004 of Israel ^H3478 called ^H7121 the name ^H8034 thereof Manna: ^H4478 and it was like coriander ^H1407 seed, ^H2233 white; ^H3836 and the taste ^H2940 of it was like wafers ^H6838 made with honey. ^H1706

³² And Moses ^H4872 said, ^H559 This is the thing ^H1697 which the LORD ^H3068 commandeth, ^H6680 Fill ^H4393 an omer ^H6016 of it to be kept ^H4931 for your generations; ^H1755 that they may see ^H7200 the bread ^H3899 wherewith I have fed ^H398 you in the wilderness, ^H4057 when I brought you forth ^H3318 from the land ^H776 of Egypt. ^H4714

³³ And Moses ^H4872 said ^H559 unto Aaron, ^H175 Take ^H3947 a ^H259 pot, ^H6803 and put ^H5414 an omer ^H6016 full ^H4393 of manna ^H4478 therein, and lay it up ^H3240 before ^H6440 the LORD, ^H3068 to be kept ^H4931 for your generations. ^H1755

³⁴ As the LORD ^H3068 commanded ^H6680 Moses, ^H4872 so Aaron ^H175 laid it up ^H3240 before ^H6440 the Testimony, ^H5715 to be kept. ^H4931

³⁵ And the children ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 did eat ^H398 manna ^H4478 forty ^H705 years, ^H8141 until they came ^H935 to a land ^H776 inhabited; ^H3427 they did eat ^H398 manna, ^H4478 until they came ^H935 unto the borders ^H7097 of the land ^H776 of Canaan. ^H3667

³⁶ Now an omer ^H6016 is the tenth ^H6224 part of an ephah. ^H374

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 against Aaron in the wilderness:

³ and the children of Israel said unto them, Would that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, 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 Jehovah unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.

⁵ And 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.

⁶ And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that Jehovah hath brought you out from the land of Egypt;

⁷ and in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of Jehovah; for that he heareth your murmurings against Jehovah: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?

⁸ And Moses said, `This shall be', when Jehovah shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that Jehovah heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against Jehovah.

⁹ And Moses said unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before Jehovah; 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 Jehovah appeared in the cloud.

¹¹ And Jehovah 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 Jehovah your God.

¹³ And it came to pass at even, that the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the camp.

¹⁴ And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness a small round thing, small as the hoar-frost on the ground.

¹⁵ And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, What is it? For they knew not what it was. And Moses said unto them, It is the bread which Jehovah hath given you to eat.

¹⁶ This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, Gather ye of it every man according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, shall ye take it, every man for them that are in his tent.

¹⁷ And the children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less.

¹⁸ And when they measured 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 unto them, 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 became foul: and Moses was wroth with them.

²¹ And they gathered it morning by 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 each one: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.

²³ And he said unto them, This is that which Jehovah hath spoken, Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy sabbath unto Jehovah: bake that which ye will bake, and boil that which ye will boil; and all that 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 become foul, neither was there any worm therein.

²⁵ And Moses said, Eat that to-day; for to-day is a sabbath unto Jehovah: to-day ye shall not find it in the field.

²⁶ Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.

²⁷ And it came to pass on the seventh day, that there went out some of the people to gather, and they found none.

²⁸ And Jehovah said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?

²⁹ See, for that Jehovah 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 Jehovah hath commanded, Let an omerful of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread wherewith I 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 omerful of manna therein, and lay it up before Jehovah, to be kept throughout your generations.

³⁴ As Jehovah commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

³⁵ And the children of Israel did eat the manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat the manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.

³⁶ Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.

¹ And they journey from Elim, and all the company of the sons of Israel come in unto the wilderness of Sin, which `is' between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month of their going out from the land of Egypt.

² And all the company of the sons of Israel murmur against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;

³ and the sons of Israel say unto them, `Oh that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, in our sitting by the flesh-pot, in our eating bread to satiety -- for ye have brought us out unto this wilderness to put all this assembly to death with hunger.'

⁴ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Lo, I am raining to you bread from the heavens -- and the people have gone out and gathered the matter of a day in its day -- so that I try them whether they walk in My law, or not;

⁵ and it hath been on the sixth day, that they have prepared that which they bring in, and it hath been double above that which they gather day `by' day.'

⁶ And Moses saith -- Aaron also -- unto all the sons of Israel, `Evening -- and ye have known that Jehovah hath brought you out from the land of Egypt;

⁷ and morning -- and ye have seen the honour of Jehovah, in His hearing your murmurings against Jehovah, and what `are' we, that ye murmur against us?'

⁸ And Moses saith, `In Jehovah's giving to you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning to satiety -- in Jehovah's hearing your murmurings, which ye are murmuring against Him, and what `are' we? your murmurings `are' not against us, but against Jehovah.'

⁹ And Moses saith unto Aaron, `Say unto all the company of the sons of Israel, Come ye near before Jehovah, for He hath heard your murmurings;'

¹⁰ and it cometh to pass, when Aaron is speaking unto all the company of the sons of Israel, that they turn towards the wilderness, and lo, the honour of Jehovah is seen in the cloud.

¹¹ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

¹² `I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel; speak unto them, saying, Between the evenings ye eat flesh, and in the morning ye are satisfied `with' bread, and ye have known that I `am' Jehovah your God.'

¹³ And it cometh to pass in the evening, that the quail cometh up, and covereth the camp, and in the morning there hath been the lying of dew round about the camp,

¹⁴ and the lying of the dew goeth up, and lo, on the face of the wilderness a thin, bare thing, thin as hoar-frost on the earth.

¹⁵ And the sons of Israel see, and say one unto another, `What `is' it?' for they have not known what it `is'; and Moses saith unto them, `It `is' the bread which Jehovah hath given to you for food.

¹⁶ `This `is' the thing which Jehovah hath commanded: Gather of it each according to his eating, an omer for a poll; and the number of your persons, take ye each for those in his tent.'

¹⁷ And the sons of Israel do so, and they gather, he who is `gathering' much, and he who is `gathering' little;

¹⁸ and they measure with an omer, and he who is `gathering' much hath nothing over, and he who is `gathering' little hath no lack, each according to his eating they have gathered.

¹⁹ And Moses saith unto them, `Let no man leave of it till morning;'

²⁰ and they have not hearkened unto Moses, and some of them do leave of it till morning, and it bringeth up worms and stinketh; and Moses is wroth with them.

²¹ And they gather it morning by morning, each according to his eating; when the sun hath been warm, then it hath melted.

²² And it cometh to pass on the sixth day, they have gathered a second bread, two omers for one, and all the princes of the company come in, and declare to Moses.

²³ And he saith unto them, `It `is' that which Jehovah hath spoken `of'; a rest -- a holy sabbath to Jehovah -- `is' to-morrow; that which ye bake, bake; and that which ye boil, boil; and all that is over, let rest for yourselves in charge till the morning.'

²⁴ And they let it rest until the morning, as Moses hath commanded, and it hath not stank, and a worm hath not been in it.

²⁵ And Moses saith, `Eat it to-day, for to-day `is' a sabbath to Jehovah; to-day ye find it not in the field:

²⁶ six days ye do gather it, and in the seventh day -- the sabbath -- in it there is none.'

²⁷ And it cometh to pass on the seventh day, some of the people have gone out to gather, and have not found.

²⁸ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `How long have ye refused to keep My commands, and My laws?

²⁹ see, because Jehovah hath given to you the sabbath, therefore He is giving to you on the sixth day bread of two days; abide ye each `in' his place, no one doth go out from his place on the seventh day.'

³⁰ And the people rest on the seventh day,

³¹ and the house of Israel call its name Manna, and it `is' as coriander seed, white; and its taste `is' as a cake with honey.

³² And Moses saith, `This `is' the thing which Jehovah hath commanded: Fill the omer with it, for a charge for your generations, so that they see the bread which I have caused you to eat in the wilderness, in My bringing you out from the land of Egypt.'

³³ And Moses saith unto Aaron, `Take one pot, and put there the fulness of the omer of manna, and let it rest before Jehovah, for a charge for your generations;'

³⁴ as Jehovah hath given commandment unto Moses, so doth Aaron let it rest before the Testimony, for a charge.

³⁵ And the sons of Israel have eaten the manna forty years, until their coming in unto the land to be inhabited; the manna they have eaten till their coming in unto the extremity of the land of Canaan.

³⁶ and the omer is a tenth of the ephah.

¹ And they journeyed from Elim, and the whole assembly of the children of Israel came into the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure out of the land of Egypt.

² And the whole assembly of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness.

³ And the children of Israel said to them, Would that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we ate bread to the full; for ye have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole congregation with hunger!

⁴ Then said Jehovah to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather the daily need on its day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.

⁵ And it shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall prepare what they have brought in; and it shall be twice as much as they shall gather daily.

⁶ And Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, In the evening, then shall ye know that Jehovah has brought you out from the land of Egypt;

⁷ and in the morning, then shall ye see the glory of Jehovah; for he has heard your murmurings against Jehovah; -- and what are we, that ye murmur against us?

⁸ And Moses said, When Jehovah gives you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for Jehovah hears your murmurings which ye murmur against him ... and what [are] we? your murmurings are not against us, but against Jehovah.

⁹ And Moses spoke to Aaron, Say to all the assembly of the children of Israel, Come near into the presence of Jehovah; for he has heard your murmurings.

¹⁰ And it came to pass, when Aaron spoke to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, that they turned toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of Jehovah appeared in the cloud.

¹¹ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

¹² I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak to them, saying, Between the two evenings ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah your God.

¹³ And it came to pass in the evening, that quails came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay round the camp.

¹⁴ And when the dew that lay [round it] was gone up, behold, on the face of the wilderness there was [something] fine, granular, fine as hoar-frost, on the ground.

¹⁵ And the children of Israel saw [it], and said one to another, What is it? for they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, This is the bread which Jehovah has given you to eat.

¹⁶ This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded: Gather of it every man according to what he can eat, an omer a poll, [according to] the number of your persons: ye shall take every man for those that are in his tent.

¹⁷ And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some much, some little.

¹⁸ And they measured with the omer: then he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little wanted nothing: they had gathered every man according to the measure of his eating.

¹⁹ And Moses said to them, Let no man leave [any] of it until the morning.

²⁰ But they did not hearken to Moses; and some men left of it until the morning; then worms bred in it and it stank. And Moses was wroth with them.

²¹ And they gathered it every morning, every man as much as he could eat; and when the sun became hot, it melted.

²² And it came to pass on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one; and all the princes of the assembly came and told Moses.

²³ And he said to them, This is what Jehovah has said: To-morrow is the rest, the holy sabbath, of Jehovah: bake what ye will bake, and cook what ye will cook; and lay up for yourselves all that remains over, to be kept for the morning.

²⁴ And they laid it up for the morning, as Moses had commanded; and it did not stink, neither was there any worm in it.

²⁵ And Moses said, Eat it to-day; for to-day is sabbath to Jehovah: to-day ye shall not find it in the field.

²⁶ Six days shall ye gather it; but on the seventh day is sabbath: on it there shall be none.

²⁷ And it came to pass on the seventh day that there went out [some] from the people to gather [it], and they found none.

²⁸ And Jehovah said to Moses, How long do ye refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?

²⁹ See, for Jehovah hath given you the sabbath; therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread for two days. Abide every man in his place: let no man go from his place on the seventh day.

³⁰ And the people rested on the seventh day.

³¹ And the house of Israel called its name Manna; and it was like coriander-seed, white; and the taste of it was like cake with honey.

³² And Moses said, This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded: Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread that I gave you to eat in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.

³³ And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot, and put in it an omer full of manna, and deposit it before Jehovah, to be kept for your generations.

³⁴ As Jehovah had commanded Moses, so Aaron deposited it before the Testimony, to be kept.

³⁵ And the children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came into an inhabited land: they ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.

³⁶ Now an omer is the tenth [part] of an ephah.

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.

² The whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;

³ and the children of Israel said to them, "We wish that we had died by the hand of Yahweh in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we ate our fill of bread, for you have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger."

⁴ Then said Yahweh 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.

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."

⁶ Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, "At evening, then you shall know that Yahweh has brought you out from the land of Egypt;

⁷ and in the morning, then you shall see the glory of Yahweh; because he hears your murmurings against Yahweh. Who are we, that you murmur against us?"

⁸ Moses said, "Now Yahweh shall give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you; because Yahweh hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Yahweh."

⁹ Moses said to Aaron, "Tell all the congregation of the children of Israel, 'Come near before Yahweh, for he has heard your murmurings.'"

¹⁰ It happened, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of Yahweh appeared in the cloud.

¹¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

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: and you shall know that I am Yahweh your God.'"

¹³ It happened at evening that quail came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay around the camp.

¹⁴ When the dew that lay had gone, behold, on the surface of the wilderness was a small round thing, small as the hoar-frost on the ground.

¹⁵ When the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, "What is it?" For they didn't know what it was. Moses said to them, "It is the bread which Yahweh has given you to eat."

¹⁶ This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded: "Gather of it everyone according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, shall you take it, every man for those who are in his tent."

¹⁷ The children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less.

¹⁸ When they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack. They gathered every man according to his eating.

¹⁹ Moses said to them, "Let no one leave of it until the morning."

²⁰ Notwithstanding they didn't listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul: and Moses was angry with them.

²¹ They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.

²² It happened that 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.

²³ He said to them, "This is that which Yahweh has spoken, 'Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to Yahweh. 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."

²⁴ They laid it up until the morning, as Moses asked, and it didn't become foul, neither was there any worm in it.

²⁵ Moses said, "Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to Yahweh. Today you shall not find it in the field.

²⁶ Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none."

²⁷ It happened on the seventh day, that some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.

²⁸ Yahweh said to Moses, "How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?

²⁹ Behold, because Yahweh 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."

³⁰ So the people rested on the seventh day.

³¹ The house of Israel called the name of it Manna,{"Mana" means "What is it?"} and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey.

³² Moses said, "This is the thing which Yahweh 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 forth from the land of Egypt."

³³ Moses said to Aaron, "Take a pot, and put an omer-full of manna in it, and lay it up before Yahweh, to be kept throughout your generations."

³⁴ As Yahweh commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

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.

³⁶ Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.

¹ And they went on their way from Elim, and all the children of Israel came into the waste land of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they went out of the land of Egypt.

² And all the children of Israel were crying out against Moses and Aaron in the waste land:

³ And the children of Israel said to them, It would have been better for the Lord to have put us to death in the land of Egypt, where we were seated by the flesh-pots and had bread enough for our needs; for you have taken us out to this waste of sand, to put all this people to death through need of food.

⁴ Then the Lord said to Moses, See, I will send down bread from heaven for you; and the people will go out every day and get enough for the day's needs; so that I may put them to the test to see if they will keep my laws or not.

⁵ And on the sixth day they are to make ready what they get in, and it will be twice as much as they get on the other days.

⁶ And Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, This evening it will be clear to you that it is the Lord who has taken you out of the land of Egypt:

⁷ And in the morning you will see the glory of the Lord; for your angry words against the Lord have come to his ears: and what are we that you are crying out against us?

⁸ And Moses said, The Lord will give you meat for your food at evening, and in the morning bread in full measure; for your outcry against the Lord has come to his ears: for what are we? your outcry is not against us but against the Lord.

⁹ And Moses said to Aaron, Say to all the people of Israel, Come near before the Lord for he has given ear to your outcry.

¹⁰ And while Aaron was talking to the children of Israel, their eyes were turned in the direction of the waste land, and they saw the glory of the Lord shining in the cloud.

¹¹ And the Lord said to Moses,

¹² The outcry of the children of Israel has come to my ears: say to them now, At nightfall you will have meat for your food, and in the morning bread in full measure; and you will see that I am the Lord your God.

¹³ And it came about that in the evening little birds came up and the place was covered with them: and in the morning there was dew all round about the tents.

¹⁴ And when the dew was gone, on the face of the earth was a small round thing, like small drops of ice on the earth.

¹⁵ And when the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, What is it? for they had no idea what it was. And Moses said to them, It is the bread which the Lord has given you for your food.

¹⁶ This is what the Lord has said, Let every man take up as much as he has need of; at the rate of one omer for every person, let every man take as much as is needed for his family.

¹⁷ And the children of Israel did so, and some took more and some less.

¹⁸ And when it was measured, he who had taken up much had nothing over, and he who had little had enough; every man had taken what he was able to make use of.

¹⁹ And Moses said to them, Let nothing be kept till the morning.

²⁰ But they gave no attention to Moses, and some of them kept it till the morning and there were worms in it and it had an evil smell: and Moses was angry with them.

²¹ And they took it up morning by morning, every man as he had need: and when the sun was high it was gone.

²² And on the sixth day they took up twice as much of the bread, two omers for every person: and all the rulers of the people gave Moses word of it.

²³ And he said, This is what the Lord has said, Tomorrow is a day of rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord: what has to be cooked may be cooked; and what is over, put on one side to be kept till the morning.

²⁴ And they kept it till the morning as Moses had said: and no smell came from it, and it had no worms.

²⁵ And Moses said, Make your meal today of what you have, for this day is a Sabbath to the Lord: today you will not get any in the fields.

²⁶ For six days you will get it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will not be any.

²⁷ But still on the seventh day some of the people went out to get it, and there was not any.

²⁸ And the Lord said to Moses, How long will you go against my orders and my laws?

²⁹ See, because the Lord has given you the Sabbath, he gives you on the sixth day bread enough for two days; let every man keep where he is; let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.

³⁰ So the people took their rest on the seventh day.

³¹ And this bread was named manna by Israel: it was white, like a grain seed, and its taste was like cakes made with honey.

³² And Moses said, This is the order which the Lord has given: Let one omer of it be kept for future generations, so that they may see the bread which I gave you for your food in the waste land, when I took you out from the land of Egypt.

³³ And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot and put one omer of manna in it, and put it away before the Lord, to be kept for future generations.

³⁴ So Aaron put it away in front of the holy chest to be kept, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

³⁵ And the children of Israel had manna for their food for forty years, till they came to a land with people in it, till they came to the edge of the land of Canaan.

³⁶ Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
