Exodus 16:4-36

Exodus 16:4-36

[4] Then said  the LORD  unto Moses,  Behold, I will rain  bread  from heaven  for you; and the people  shall go out  and gather  a certain rate  every day,  that I may prove  in my law,  or no. [5] And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth  day  they shall prepare  that which  they bring in;  and it shall be twice  as much as they gather  daily.  [6] And Moses  and Aaron  said  unto all the children  of Israel,  At even,  then ye shall know  that the LORD  hath brought you out  from the land  of Egypt:  [7] And in the morning,  then ye shall see  the glory  of the LORD;  for that he heareth  your murmurings  against the LORD:  and what are we,  that ye murmur  against us? [8] And Moses  said,  This shall be, when the LORD  shall give  you in the evening  flesh  to eat,  and in the morning  bread  to the full;  for that the LORD  heareth  your murmurings  against him: and what are we?  your murmurings  are not against us, but against the LORD.  [9] And Moses  spake  unto Aaron,  Say  unto all the congregation  of the children  of Israel,  Come near  before  the LORD:  for he hath heard  your murmurings.  [10] 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 the LORD  appeared  in the cloud.  [11] And the LORD  spake  unto Moses,  saying,  [12] 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 the LORD  your God.  [13] And it came to pass, that at even  the quails  came up,  and covered  the camp:  and in the morning  the dew  lay  round about  the host.  [14] And when the dew  that lay  was gone up,  behold, upon the face  of the wilderness  there lay a small  round thing,  as small  as the hoar frost  on the ground.  [15] And when the children  of Israel  saw  it, they said  one  to another,  It is manna:  for they wist  not what it was. And Moses  said  unto them, This is the bread  which the LORD  hath given  you to eat.  [16] This is the thing  which  the LORD  hath commanded,  Gather  of it every man  according  to his eating,  an omer  for every man,  according to the number  of your persons;  take  ye every man  for them which are in his tents.  [17] And the children  of Israel  did  so, and gathered,  some more,  some less.  [18] And when they did mete  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.  [19] And Moses  said,  Let no man  leave  of it till the morning.  [20] Notwithstanding they hearkened  not unto Moses;  but some  of them left  of it until the morning,  and it bred  worms,  and stank:  and Moses  was wroth  [21] And they gathered  it every morning,  every man  according  to his eating:  and when the sun  waxed hot,  it melted.  [22] And it came to pass, that on the sixth  day  they gathered  twice  as much bread,  two  omers  for one  man: and all the rulers  of the congregation  came  and told  Moses.  [23] And he said  unto them, This is that which the LORD  hath said,  To morrow  is the rest  of the holy  sabbath  unto the LORD:  bake  to day, and seethe  and that which  remaineth over  lay up  for you to be kept  until the morning.  [24] And they laid it up  till the morning,  as Moses  bade:  and it did not stink,  neither was there any worm  therein. [25] And Moses  said,  Eat  that to day;  is a sabbath  unto the LORD:  to day  ye shall not find  it in the field.  [26] Six  days  ye shall gather  it; but on the seventh  day,  which is the sabbath,  in it there shall be none. [27] And it came to pass, that there went out  some of the people  on the seventh  day  for to gather,  and they found  none. [28] And the LORD  said  unto Moses,  How long refuse  ye to keep  my commandments  and my laws?  [29] See,  for that the LORD  hath given  you the sabbath,  therefore he giveth  you on the sixth  day  the bread  of two days;  abide  ye every 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  the name  thereof Manna:  and it was like coriander  seed,  white;  and the taste  of it was like wafers  made with honey.  [32] And Moses  said,  This is the thing  which the LORD  commandeth,  Fill  an omer  of it to be kept  for your generations;  that they may see  the bread  wherewith I have fed  you in the wilderness,  when I brought you forth  from the land  of Egypt.  [33] And Moses  said  unto Aaron,  Take  pot,  and put  an omer  full  of manna  therein, and lay it up  before  the LORD,  to be kept  for your generations.  [34] As the LORD  commanded  Moses,  so Aaron  laid it up  before  the Testimony,  to be kept.  [35] And the children  of Israel  did eat  manna  forty  years,  until they came  to a land  inhabited;  they did eat  manna,  until they came  unto the borders  of the land  of Canaan.  [36] Now an omer  is the tenth  part of an ephah.
