1 And they took their jour­ney from Elim, and all the con­gre­ga­tion of the chil­dren of Is­rael came unto the wilder­ness of Sin, which is be­tween Elim and Sinai, on the fif­teenth day of the sec­ond month af­ter their de­part­ing out of the land of Egypt. 2 And the whole con­gre­ga­tion of the chil­dren of Is­rael mur­mured against Moses and Aaron in the wilder­ness: 3 And the chil­dren of Is­rael said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilder­ness, to kill this whole as­sem­bly with hunger. 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 them, whether they will walk 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 which ye mur­mur 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 with them. 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 that which ye will bake ­to day, and seethe that ye will 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; for 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 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 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 a 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.
