Exodus 16:13
Compare all
11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
12 a“I have heard the complaints of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, b‘At twilight you shall eat meat, and cin the morning you shall be filled with bread. And you shall know that I am the Lord your God.’ ”  
13 So it was that aquails came up at evening and covered the camp, and in the morning bthe dew lay all around the camp.  
14 And when the layer of dew lifted, there, on the surface of the wilderness, was aa small round bsubstance, as fine as frost on the ground.  
15 So when the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, a“This is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat.  
16 This is the thing which the Lord has commanded: ‘Let every man gather it aaccording to each one’s need, one bomer for each person, according to the number of persons; let every man take for those who are in his tent.’ ”  
17 Then the children of Israel did so and gathered, some more, some less.
18 So when they measured it by omers, ahe who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack. Every man had gathered according to each one’s need.  
19 And Moses said, “Let no one aleave any of it till morning.”  
20 Notwithstanding they did not1 heed Moses. But some of them left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Moses was angry with them.
21 So they gathered it every morning, every man according to his need. And when the sun became hot, it melted.
22 And so it was, on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one. And all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
23 Then he said to them, “This is what the Lord has said: ‘Tomorrow is aa Sabbath rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord. Bake what you will bake today, and boil what you will boil; and lay up for yourselves all that remains, to be kept until morning.’ ”  
24 So they laid it up till morning, as Moses commanded; and it did not astink, nor were there any worms in it.  
25 Then Moses said, “Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to the Lord; today you will not find it in the field.
26 aSix days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will be none.”  
27 Now it happened that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, but they found none.
28 And the Lord said to Moses, “How long ado you refuse to keep My commandments and My laws?  
29 See! For the Lord has given you the Sabbath; therefore He gives you on the sixth day bread for two days. Let every man remain in his place; let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.”
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
31 And the house of Israel called its name1 Manna. And ait was like white coriander seed, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.  
32 Then Moses said, “This is the thing which the Lord has commanded: ‘Fill an omer with it, to be kept for your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’ ”
33 And Moses said to Aaron, a“Take a pot and put an omer of manna in it, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your generations.”
