Exodus 16:14-35 and the lying of the night mist went up; and behold, on the surface of the wilderness was a thin flake, thin as hoarfrost, on the earth. "

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ and the lying of the night mist went up; and behold, on the surface of the wilderness was a thin flake, thin as hoarfrost, on the earth. " ¹⁵ When the sons of Israel saw it, they said, each man to his brother: What is it? for they did not know what it was, So Moses said to them: It is the bread which Yahweh has given to you for food. ¹⁶ This is the matter which Yahweh has instructed: Pick up of it each man corresponding to his eating, an omer for a poll, numbering your souls: each man for those who are in his tent shall you take. ¹⁷ Now the sons of Israel did so. Some picked up an increase and some a decrease. ¹⁸ They measured with an omer, yet the increase had caused no superfluity, and the decrease had caused no lack. Each man corresponding to his eating they had picked it up. ¹⁹ Then Moses said to them: Let no one reserve any of it until the morning. ²⁰ Yet they did not hearken to Moses, and some men reserved some of it until the morning. So it rose high with worms and stank. And Moses was wrathful over them. ²¹ They picked it up morning by morning, each man corresponding to his eating. When the sun was warm then it melted. ²² Now it came to be on the sixth day they picked up a duplicate amount of bread, two omers for one. When all the princes of the congregation came and told it to Moses, ²³ then he said to them: This is what Yahweh has spoken, A cessation, a holy sabbath to Yahweh is tomorrow. What you are baking, bake, and what you are cooking, cook, and all the superfluity, leave it in your charge until the morning. " ²⁴ So they left it until the morning, just as Moses had instructed, yet it caused no stink, and no maggots came to be in it. ²⁵ Then Moses said: Eat it today, for there is a sabbath today to Yahweh! Today you shall not find it in the field. ²⁶ Six days shall you pick it up, yet on the seventh day, the sabbath, none shall come to be on it. ²⁷ And it came to be on the seventh day some of the people went forth to pick it up, and they found none. ²⁸ Hence Yahweh said to Moses: How long will you refuse to observe My instructions and My laws? ²⁹ See! For Yahweh, He has given to you the sabbath; therefore He is giving to you on the sixth day bread for two days. Be seated, each man in his place; let no one go forth from his place on the seventh day. ³⁰ So the people ceased on the seventh day. ³¹ The sons of Israel called its name Manna. It was as a seed of white coriander and its taste as cakes with honey. ³² Then Moses said: This is the word which Yahweh has instructed, Take the fullness of an omer of it as a charge throughout your generations, that they may see the bread which I gave you to eat in the wilderness when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt. ³³ And Moses said to Aaron: Take one urn and dispense therein the fullness of an omer of manna, and leave it before Yahweh as a charge throughout your generations, ³⁴ just as Yahweh has instructed Moses. So Aaron left it before the testimony as a charge. ³⁵ As for the sons of Israel, they ate the manna forty years until their coming to a land indwelt. The manna, they ate it until their coming to the fringe of the land of Canaan.
