Young's Literal Translation
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 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
.
And there
in
the
desert
they
all grumbled
against Moses and Aaron .
And all the
company
of
the
sons
of
Israel
murmur
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
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.'
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.
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;
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
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
. '
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
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 ;
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 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? '
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 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
. '
Then
Moses said
to
Aaron, “Tell
the whole
congregation
of Israel, ‘
Come before the
LORD
, for He has
heard your grumbling.’”
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;'
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
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
.
Then
the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
And
Jehovah
speaketh
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 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. '
That
evening quail came
and covered
the camp, and in the morning there was
a
layer
of dew around
the camp .
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 ,
When
the layer
of dew had
evaporated
, there
were
thin
flakes
on the desert
floor
, as
fine
as frost on the ground
.
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
.
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
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
.
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
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. '
So
the Israelites
did
this.
Some
gathered
more
, and some
less.
And
the sons
of
Israel
do
so
, and they
gather,
he
who
is
`gathering'
much,
and
he
who
is
`gathering'
little;
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
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
.
Then
Moses said
to
them, “
No one
may
keep
any
of it until
morning .”
And
Moses saith
unto
them, `Let
no man
leave
of it till
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.
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.
Every
morning each
one
gathered
as
much
as
was
needed
, and
when the sun grew
hot
, it melted away
.
And
they
gather
it
morning by
morning
, each
according
to
his
eating;
when the sun hath
been
warm
, then
it hath
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
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.
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 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. '
So
they set
it aside
until morning as Moses had
commanded, and it did
not smell
or
contain
any
maggots
.
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
.
“
Eat it today,”
Moses
said
, “because
today
is a Sabbath to the
LORD.
Today
you
will
not
find anything
in the field .
And
Moses
saith,
`
Eat it to-day
, for
to-day
`
is '
a sabbath to Jehovah;
to-day
ye
find it
not
in the field :
For
six days you
may
gather, but
on
the seventh day ,
the Sabbath ,
it will
not
be
there. ”
six days ye
do
gather it
, and
in
the seventh day --
the sabbath --
in
it there is
none
. '
Yet
on the seventh day some of the people went
out to gather, but
they
did
not find
anything
.
And
it
cometh
to
pass
on the seventh day ,
some of the people have
gone
out to gather, and
have
not found
.
Then
the
LORD
said
to
Moses, “
How long will
you
refuse
to keep My commandments
and instructions
?
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
Moses, `
How long have
ye
refused
to keep My commands,
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,
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
. '
So
the people rested
on the seventh day .
And
the people rest
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 call
its
name
Manna ,
and
it `is'
as
coriander seed ,
white;
and its
taste
`is'
as
a
cake
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 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. '
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 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 ;'
And
Aaron placed
it in
front
of
the Testimony, to
be
preserved
just
as
the
LORD
had
commanded
Moses
.
as
Jehovah
hath
given
commandment
unto
Moses,
so
doth
Aaron let
it rest
before
the Testimony, for
a
charge
.
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 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.
(Now
an
omer is a tenth of an
ephah. )
and
the
omer is a tenth of the
ephah.
