On
the
fifteenth
day
of
the
second
month
after
they had
left
the
land
of
Egypt
, the whole
congregation of Israel set
out
from
Elim
and
came to
the Desert
of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai.
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
.
And there
in
the desert
they
all
grumbled
against Moses and Aaron .
And the whole
congregation
of
the
children
of
Israel
murmured
against Moses and against
Aaron in
the
wilderness:
“If
only
we had died by the LORD’s
hand in the land of Egypt !”
they
said.
“There
we sat by pots of
meat
and
ate
our
fill
of
bread
, but
you
have brought us into this desert
to starve
this whole assembly to
death!”
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.
Then the
LORD
said to
Moses, “
Behold, I will rain down
bread from heaven for you .
Each
day
the people are
to
go out and gather enough
for
that
day .
In
this
way
I will
test
whether or
not
they will follow
My instructions
.
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
.
Then
on the sixth day, when
they prepare what
they bring in, it will
be twice as much as they gather on
the
other
days
. ”
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
.
So
Moses and Aaron said to
all the Israelites
, “This
evening
you
will
know that it
was
the
LORD
who
brought you out of
the land of Egypt ,
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 ;
and in the morning you
will
see the LORD’s
glory ,
because
He has
heard
your grumbling
against Him.
For
who
are we that you
should
grumble
against us? ”
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?
And Moses added
, “The
LORD
will
give you meat
to eat this
evening
and bread
to
fill
you
in the morning ,
for He
has
heard
your grumbling
against Him .
Who
are we? Your grumblings
are not against us but against the
LORD
. ”
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
.
Then
Moses said to
Aaron, “Tell
the whole
congregation of Israel, ‘
Come before the
LORD,
for He has
heard your grumbling
. ’”
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
.
And as Aaron was
speaking
to
the whole congregation of Israel, they looked toward the desert
, and there
in
a
cloud
the glory of the
LORD
appeared.
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
.
Then
the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
And
Jehovah
spake
unto
Moses, saying,
“
I have heard the grumbling
of the Israelites.
Tell
them, ‘
At twilight
you
will
eat meat
, and in the morning you
will
be filled with bread .
Then
you
will
know that I am the
LORD
your God. ’”
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.
That evening
quail
came and covered the camp ,
and in the morning there
was
a
layer
of
dew around
the camp.
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.
When the layer
of
dew had
evaporated
, there
were
thin
flakes
on
the desert
floor
, as
fine
as frost on the ground.
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.
When the Israelites
saw it, they asked
one another, “
What is it? ”
For they did
not know
what it was. So
Moses told
them, “
It is the bread that
the
LORD
has
given you to eat.
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.
This is what
the LORD
has
commanded :
‘Each
one
is
to
gather as
much
as
he
needs.
You
may
take
an omer for each
person
in your
tent. ’”
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.
So
the Israelites
did this.
Some
gathered more, and
some less.
And
the children
of
Israel
did so,
and
gathered some
more, some less.
When they measured it by
the
omer, he who
gathered much had no
excess
, and he who
gathered little had no shortfall.
Each
one
gathered as
much
as
he
needed
to eat
.
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
.
Then
Moses said to
them, “
No one
may
keep
any
of it until
morning. ”
And
Moses said unto
them, Let
no man
leave
of it till
the
morning.
But
they did
not listen
to
Moses; some people
left part
of it until morning, and it became infested
with
maggots
and began
to
smell.
So
Moses was angry
with them.
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.
Every
morning
each
one
gathered as
much
as
was
needed
, and when the sun grew
hot, it melted away
.
And
they
gathered it
morning
by
morning
, every
man
according
to
his
eating:
and when the sun waxed
hot, it melted.
On the sixth day ,
they gathered twice as much food—
two omers per
person
—
and all the leaders
of the congregation came and reported
this
to
Moses.
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.
He told
them, “
This is what
the
LORD
has
said:
‘
Tomorrow is to
be
a day
of
complete
rest, a holy Sabbath to
the
LORD.
So
bake what
you
want
to
bake, and boil what
you
want
to
boil .
Then
set
aside
whatever
remains
and keep
it
until morning. ’”
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.
So
they set
it aside
until
morning as Moses had
commanded,
and it did not smell
or
contain
any maggots
.
And
they laid
it up
till
the
morning ,
as Moses bade:
and it did not become
foul,
neither
was
there
any worm
therein
.
“Eat
it
today,”
Moses said, “because
today
is a Sabbath to the
LORD.
Today
you
will
not find anything
in the field.
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.
For
six days you
may
gather ,
but on the seventh day ,
the Sabbath, it will
not
be
there. ”
Six days ye
shall
gather it;
but on the seventh day is
the sabbath, in
it there shall
be
none
.
Yet
on the seventh day some of the people went
out
to gather, but
they did
not
find
anything
.
And
it
came
to
pass
on the seventh day ,
that
there
went
out
some of the people to gather, and
they found
none
.
Then
the
LORD
said to
Moses, “
How long will
you
refuse to keep My commandments and instructions
?
And
Jehovah
said unto
Moses, How long refuse ye
to keep my commandments and my
laws
?
Understand
that the
LORD
has
given you the Sabbath ;
that
is
why
on the sixth day He
will
give
you
bread for
two days .
On
the
seventh
day,
everyone
must
stay
where
he
is
; no one
may
leave
his place. ”
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
.
So the people rested on the seventh day.
So the people rested on the seventh day.
Now
the house of Israel called the bread
manna .
It was white
like coriander seed and tasted
like wafers made with honey.
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.
Moses said, “
This is what
the LORD
has
commanded :
‘Keep
an omer
of manna
for
the
generations to
come
, so
that they may see the bread I fed you in the wilderness when I brought you out
of
the land of Egypt. ’”
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.
So
Moses told
Aaron, “
Take a jar
and fill
it
with
an omer
of manna .
Then
place
it before the
LORD
to be preserved
for
the
generations to
come
. ”
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.
And
Aaron placed
it in
front
of
the Testimony, to be preserved
just
as
the
LORD
had
commanded
Moses
.
As
Jehovah
commanded
Moses,
so
Aaron laid
it up
before
the Testimony, to be kept
.
The Israelites
ate
manna forty years, until they came to a land where
they
could
settle
; they ate
manna until they reached
the border
of Canaan.
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.
(
Now an omer is a
tenth of an ephah. )
Now an omer is the
tenth part
of an ephah.
