16The whole congregation of the Israelites set out from Elim; and Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had departed from the land of Egypt.H5265H362H5712H1121H3478H935H4057H5512H362H5514H2568H6240H3117H8145H2320H3318H776H4714 2The whole congregation of the Israelites complained against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.H5712H1121H3478H3885H4872H175H4057 3The Israelites said to them, "If only we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the fleshpots and ate our fill of bread; for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger."H1121H3478H559H4310H5414H4191H3027H3068H776H4714H3427H1320H5518H398H3899H7648H3318H4057H4191H6951H7458 4Then the LORD said to Moses, "I am going to rain bread from heaven for you, and each day the people shall go out and gather enough for that day. In that way I will test them, whether they will follow my instruction or not.H559H3068H4872H4305H3899H8064H5971H3318H3950H1697H3117H3117H5254H3212H8451 5On the sixth day, when they prepare what they bring in, it will be twice as much as they gather on other days."H8345H3117H3559H834H935H4932H3950H3117H3117 6So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, "In the evening you shall know that it was the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt,H4872H175H559H1121H3478H6153H3045H3068H3318H776H4714 7and in the morning you shall see the glory of the LORD, because he has heard your complaining against the LORD. For what are we, that you complain against us?"H1242H7200H3519H3068H8085H8519H3068H5168H3885H3885 8And Moses said, "When the LORD gives you meat to eat in the evening and your fill of bread in the morning, because the LORD has heard the complaining that you utter against him—what are we? Your complaining is not against us but against the LORD."H4872H559H3068H5414H6153H1320H398H1242H3899H7646H3068H8085H8519H3885H5168H8519H3068 9Then Moses said to Aaron, "Say to the whole congregation of the Israelites, 'Draw near to the LORD, for he has heard your complaining.'"H4872H559H175H559H5712H1121H3478H7126H6440H3068H8085H8519 10And as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the Israelites, they looked toward the wilderness, and the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.H175H1696H5712H1121H3478H6437H4057H3519H3068H7200H6051 11The LORD spoke to Moses and said,H3068H1696H4872H559 12"I have heard the complaining of the Israelites; say to them, 'At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall have your fill of bread; then you shall know that I am the LORD your God.'"H8085H8519H1121H3478H1696H559H996H6153H398H1320H1242H7646H3899H3045H3068H430 13In the evening quails came up and covered the camp; and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.H6153H7958H5927H3680H4264H1242H2919H7902H5439H4264 14When the layer of dew lifted, there on the surface of the wilderness was a fine flaky substance, as fine as frost on the ground.H2919H7902H5927H6440H4057H1851H2636H1851H3713H776 15When the Israelites saw it, they said to one another, "What is it?" For they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, "It is the bread that the LORD has given you to eat.H1121H3478H7200H559H376H251H4478H3045H4872H559H3899H3068H5414H402 16This is what the LORD has commanded: 'Gather as much of it as each of you needs, an omer to a person according to the number of persons, all providing for those in their own tents.'"H1697H834H3068H6680H3950H376H6310H400H6016H1538H4557H5315H3947H376H168 17The Israelites did so, some gathering more, some less.H1121H3478H6213H3950H7235H4591 18But when they measured it with an omer, those who gathered much had nothing over, and those who gathered little had no shortage; they gathered as much as each of them needed.H4058H6016H7235H5736H4591H2637H3950H376H6310H400 19And Moses said to them, "Let no one leave any of it over until morning."H4872H559H376H3498H1242 20But they did not listen to Moses; some left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and became foul. And Moses was angry with them.H8085H4872H582H3498H1242H7311H8438H887H4872H7107 21Morning by morning they gathered it, as much as each needed; but when the sun grew hot, it melted.H3950H1242H376H6310H400H8121H2552H4549 22On the sixth day they gathered twice as much food, two omers apiece. When all the leaders of the congregation came and told Moses,H8345H3117H3950H4932H3899H8147H6016H259H5387H5712H935H5046H4872 23he said to them, "This is what the LORD has commanded: 'Tomorrow is a day of solemn rest, a holy sabbath to the LORD; bake what you want to bake and boil what you want to boil, and all that is left over put aside to be kept until morning.'"H559H3068H1696H4279H7677H6944H7676H3068H644H644H1310H1310H3605H5736H3240H4931H1242 24So they put it aside until morning, as Moses commanded them; and it did not become foul, and there were no worms in it.H3240H1242H4872H6680H887H7415 25Moses said, "Eat it today, for today is a sabbath to the LORD; today you will not find it in the field.H4872H559H398H3117H3117H7676H3068H3117H4672H7704 26Six days you shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is a sabbath, there will be none."H8337H3117H3950H7637H3117H7676 27On the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.H3318H5971H7637H3117H3950H4672 28The LORD said to Moses, "How long will you refuse to keep my commandments and instructions?H3068H559H4872H3985H8104H4687H8451 29See! The LORD has given you the sabbath, therefore on the sixth day he gives you food for two days; each of you stay where you are; do not leave your place on the seventh day."H7200H3068H5414H7676H5414H8345H3117H3899H3117H3427H376H376H3318H4725H7637H3117 30So the people rested on the seventh day.H5971H7673H7637H3117 31The house of Israel called it manna; it was like coriander seed, white, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.H1004H3478H7121H8034H4478H1407H2233H3836H2940H6838H1706 32Moses said, "This is what the LORD has commanded: 'Let an omer of it be kept throughout your generations, in order that they may see the food with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.'"H4872H559H1697H3068H6680H4393H6016H4931H1755H7200H3899H398H4057H3318H776H4714 33And Moses said to Aaron, "Take a jar, and put an omer of manna in it, and place it before the LORD, to be kept throughout your generations."H4872H559H175H3947H259H6803H5414H6016H4393H4478H3240H6440H3068H4931H1755 34As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron placed it before the covenant, for safekeeping.H3068H6680H4872H175H3240H6440H5715H4931 35The Israelites ate manna forty years, until they came to a habitable land; they ate manna, until they came to the border of the land of Canaan.H1121H3478H398H4478H705H8141H935H776H3427H398H4478H935H7097H776H3667 36An omer is a tenth of an ephah.H6016H6224H374
