Exodus 16

Exo 16:1 And they pulled up stakes from Elim. And all the congregation of the sons of Israel came into the Wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their going out from the land of Egypt.
Exo 16:2 And all the congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness.
Exo 16:3 And the sons of Israel said to them, Would that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, in our sitting by the fleshpots, in our eating bread to satisfaction. For you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill all this assembly with hunger.
Exo 16:4 And Jehovah said to Moses, Behold, I AM! Bread will rain from the heavens for you. And the people shall go out and gather the matter of a day in its day, so that I may test them, whether they will walk in My Law or not.
Exo 16:5 And it shall be on the sixth day they shall prepare what they bring in. And it shall be double what they gather day by day.
Exo 16:6 And Moses and Aaron said to all the sons of Israel, At evening you shall know that Jehovah has brought you from the land of Egypt;
Exo 16:7 and in the morning you shall see the glory of Jehovah, in His hearing your murmurings against Jehovah. And we, what are we that you murmur against us?
Exo 16:8 And Moses said, When Jehovah gives you flesh to eat in the evening, and bread in the morning, to satisfaction; when Jehovah hears your murmurings which you are murmuring against Him, you will see. And what are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Jehovah.
Exo 16:9 And Moses spoke to Aaron, Say to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, Come near before Jehovah; for He has heard your murmurings.
Exo 16:10 And it happened, as Aaron was speaking to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, they turned toward the wilderness. And, behold! The glory of Jehovah appeared in the cloud!
Exo 16:11 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Exo 16:12 I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel. Speak to them, saying, Between the evenings you shall eat flesh; and in the morning you shall be satisfied with bread; and you shall know that I am Jehovah your God.
Exo 16:13 And it happened in the evening: the quail came up and covered the camp. And in the morning a layer of dew was around the camp.
Exo 16:14 And the layer of dew went up, and, behold, something small was on the face of the wilderness, scalelike, small like the hoarfrost on the earth.
Exo 16:15 And the sons of Israel looked. And they said, each one to his brother, What is that? For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, That is the bread which Jehovah has given to you for food.
Exo 16:16 This is the thing which Jehovah commanded. Gather from it, each one according to the mouth of his eating; an omer for a head. By the number of your souls you shall take for each man who is in your tent.
Exo 16:17 And so the sons of Israel did. And they gathered; the one gathering much and the one gathering little.
Exo 16:18 And they measured with an omer. And the one gathering much did not have too much. And the one gathering little did not have any need. Each one gathered according to the mouth of his eating.
Exo 16:19 And Moses said to them, Do not let anyone leave from it until morning.
Exo 16:20 And they did not listen to Moses. And some left from it until morning; and it became rotten with maggots, and stunk. And Moses was angry against them.
Exo 16:21 And they gathered it in the morning, each one in the morning according to the mouth of his eating. And it melted in the heat of the sun.
Exo 16:22 And it came about on the sixth day, they gathered double bread, two omers for one. And all the leaders of the congregation came and reported to Moses.
Exo 16:23 And he said to them, That is what Jehovah said, Tomorrow is a rest, a holy sabbath to Jehovah. What you will bake, bake. And boil what you will boil. And lay up for yourselves all that is left over, to keep it until the morning.
Exo 16:24 And they laid it up until the morning, as Moses commanded. And it did not stink and no maggot was in it.
Exo 16:25 And Moses said, Eat it today, for today is a sabbath to Jehovah. Today you will not find it in the field.
Exo 16:26 You shall gather it six days, and on the seventh is a sabbath; in it none shall be found.
Exo 16:27 And it happened on the seventh day, some of the people went out to gather, and did not find any.
Exo 16:28 And Jehovah said to Moses, Until when do you refuse to keep My commandments and My laws?
Exo 16:29 Behold! Because Jehovah has given the sabbath to you, therefore He is giving to you two days of bread on the sixth day. Each one of you remain in his place. Do not let anyone go out from his place on the seventh day.
Exo 16:30 And the people rested on the seventh day.
Exo 16:31 And the house of Israel called its name, Manna. And it was like the seed of coriander, white; and its taste like cakes with honey.
Exo 16:32 And Moses said, This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded, Fill an omer from it, to keep for your generations, so that they may see the bread which I caused you to eat in the wilderness, as I brought you out from the land of Egypt.
Exo 16:33 And Moses said to Aaron, Take one pitcher, and put there the fullness of an omer of manna, and lay it up before Jehovah, to keep for your generations.
Exo 16:34 Even as Jehovah commanded Moses, Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to keep it.
Exo 16:35 And the sons of Israel ate the manna forty years, until their coming into an inhabited land. They ate the manna until their coming to the border of the land of Canaan.
Exo 16:36 And the omer was the tenth of an ephah.

On this day...
