Exodus 16
16:1

And they took their journey5265 from Elim,362 and all the congregation5712 of the children1121 of Israel3478 came935 unto the wilderness4057 of Sin,5512 which is between Elim362 and Sinai,5514 on the fifteenth2568 day3117 of the second8145 month2320 after their departing3318 out of the land776 of Egypt.4714

16:2

And the whole congregation5712 of the children1121 of Israel3478 murmured3885 against Moses4872 and Aaron175 in the wilderness:4057

16:3

And the children1121 of Israel3478 said559 unto them, O that4310 we had died4191 by the hand3027 of Yahweh3068 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 when we sat3427 by the flesh1320 pots,5518 and when we did eat398 bread3899 to the full;7648 for ye have brought us forth3318 into this wilderness,4057 to kill4191 this whole assembly6951 with hunger.7458

16:4

Then said559 Yahweh3068 unto Moses,4872 Behold, I will rain4305 bread3899 from heaven8064 for you; and the people5971 shall go out3318 and gather3950 a certain rate1697 every day,3117 that I may prove5254 them, whether they will walk3212 in my law,8451 or no.

16:5

And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth8345 day3117 they shall prepare3559 that which they bring in;935 and it shall be twice4932 as much as834 they gather3950 daily.3117

16:6

And Moses4872 and Aaron175 said559 unto all the children1121 of Israel,3478 At even,6153 then ye shall know3045 that Yahweh3068 hath brought you out3318 from the land776 of Egypt:4714

16:7

And in the morning,1242 then ye shall see7200 the glory3519 of Yahweh;3068 for that he heareth8085 your murmurings8519 against Yahweh:3068 and what are we,5168 that ye murmur3885 against us?

16:8

And Moses4872 said,559 This shall be, when Yahweh3068 shall give5414 you in the evening6153 flesh1320 to eat,398 and in the morning1242 bread3899 to the full;7646 for that Yahweh3068 heareth8085 your murmurings8519 which ye murmur3885 against him: and what are we?5168 your murmurings8519 are not against us, but against Yahweh.3068

16:9

And Moses4872 spake559 unto Aaron,175 Say559 unto all the congregation5712 of the children1121 of Israel,3478 Come near7126 before6440 Yahweh:3068 for he hath heard8085 your murmurings.8519

16:10

And it came to pass, as Aaron175 spake1696 unto the whole congregation5712 of the children1121 of Israel,3478 that they looked6437 toward the wilderness,4057 and, behold, the glory3519 of Yahweh3068 appeared7200 in the cloud.6051

16:11

And Yahweh3068 spake1696 unto Moses,4872 saying,559

16:12

I have heard8085 the murmurings8519 of the children1121 of Israel:3478 speak1696 unto them, saying,559 At996 even6153 ye shall eat398 flesh,1320 and in the morning1242 ye shall be filled7646 with bread;3899 and ye shall know3045 that I am Yahweh3068 your Elohim.430

16:13

And it came to pass, that at even6153 the quails7958 came up,5927 and covered3680 the camp:4264 and in the morning1242 the dew2919 lay7902 round about5439 the host.4264

16:14

And when the dew2919 that lay7902 was gone up,5927 behold, upon the face6440 of the wilderness4057 there lay a small1851 round thing,2636 as small1851 as the hoar frost3713 on the ground.776

16:15

And when the children1121 of Israel3478 saw7200 it, they said559 one376 to another,251 It is manna:4478 for they wist3045 not what it was. And Moses4872 said559 unto them, This is the bread3899 which Yahweh3068 hath given5414 you to eat.402

16:16

This is the thing1697 which Yahweh3068 hath commanded,6680 Gather3950 of it every man376 according6310 to his eating,400 an omer6016 for every man,1538 according to the number4557 of your persons;5315 take3947 ye every man376 for them which834 are in his tents.168

16:17

And the children1121 of Israel3478 did6213 so, and gathered,3950 some more,7235 some less.4591

16:18

And when they did mete4058 it with an omer,6016 he that gathered much7235 had nothing over,5736 and he that gathered little4591 had no lack;2637 they gathered3950 every man376 according6310 to his eating.400

16:19

And Moses4872 said,559 Let no man376 leave3498 of it till the morning.1242

16:20

Notwithstanding they hearkened8085 not unto Moses;4872 but some of them582 left3498 of it until the morning,1242 and it bred7311 worms,8438 and stank:887 and Moses4872 was wroth7107 with them.

16:21

And they gathered3950 it every morning,1242 every man376 according6310 to his eating:400 and when the sun8121 waxed hot,2552 it melted.4549

16:22

And it came to pass, that on the sixth8345 day3117 they gathered3950 twice as much4932 bread,3899 two8147 omers6016 for one259 man: and all the rulers5387 of the congregation5712 came935 and told5046 Moses.4872

16:23

And he said559 unto them, This is that which Yahweh3068 hath said,1696 To morrow4279 is the rest7677 of the holy6944 sabbath7676 unto Yahweh:3068 bake644 that which ye will bake644 to day, and seethe1310 that ye will seethe;1310 and3605 that which remaineth5736 over lay up3240 for you to be kept4931 until the morning.1242

16:24

And they laid it up3240 till the morning,1242 as Moses4872 bade:6680 and it did not stink,887 neither was there any worm7415 therein.

16:25

And Moses4872 said,559 Eat398 that to day;3117 for to day3117 is a sabbath7676 unto Yahweh:3068 to day3117 ye shall not find4672 it in the field.7704

16:26

Six8337 days3117 ye shall gather3950 it; but on the seventh7637 day,3117 which is the sabbath,7676 in it there shall be none.

16:27

And it came to pass, that there went out3318 some of the people5971 on the seventh7637 day3117 for to gather,3950 and they found4672 none.

16:28

And Yahweh3068 said559 unto Moses,4872 How long refuse3985 ye to keep8104 my commandments4687 and my laws?8451

16:29

See,7200 for that Yahweh3068 hath given5414 you the sabbath,7676 therefore he giveth5414 you on the sixth8345 day3117 the bread3899 of two days;3117 abide3427 ye every man376 in his place, let no man376 go out3318 of his place4725 on the seventh7637 day.3117

16:30

So the people5971 rested7673 on the seventh7637 day.3117

16:31

And the house1004 of Israel3478 called7121 the name8034 thereof Manna:4478 and it was like coriander1407 seed,2233 white;3836 and the taste2940 of it was like wafers6838 made with honey.1706

16:32

And Moses4872 said,559 This is the thing1697 which Yahweh3068 commandeth,6680 Fill4393 an omer6016 of it to be kept4931 for your generations;1755 that they may see7200 the bread3899 wherewith I have fed398 you in the wilderness,4057 when I brought you forth3318 from the land776 of Egypt.4714

16:33

And Moses4872 said559 unto Aaron,175 Take3947 a259 pot,6803 and put5414 an omer6016 full4393 of manna4478 therein, and lay it up3240 before6440 Yahweh,3068 to be kept4931 for your generations.1755

16:34

As Yahweh3068 commanded6680 Moses,4872 so Aaron175 laid it up3240 before6440 the Testimony,5715 to be kept.4931

16:35

And the children1121 of Israel3478 did eat398 manna4478 forty705 years,8141 until they came935 to a land776 inhabited;3427 they did eat398 manna,4478 until they came935 unto the borders7097 of the land776 of Canaan.3667

16:36

Now an omer6016 is the tenth6224 part of an ephah.374
