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]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] 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], 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].
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] 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] 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[H7902] 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[H6310] to the number[H4557] of your persons[H5315]; take[H3947] ye every man[H1538] for them which[H834] 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[H3950]much[H7235] had nothing over[H5736], and he that gathered[H3950]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[H935] 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[H3605] 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[H3605] 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].
26Six[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]
29See[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[H4725], 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].
