Exodus 16:16-35 This is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat. This is that which the Lord has appointed: gather of it each man for his family, a homer for each person, according to the number of your souls, gather each of you with his fellow-lodgers.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ This is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat. This is that which the Lord has appointed: gather of it each man for his family, a homer for each person, according to the number of your souls, gather each of you with his fellow-lodgers. ¹⁷ And the children of Israel did so, and gathered some much and some less. ¹⁸ And having measured the homer full, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that had gathered less had no lack; each gathered according to the need of those who belonged to him. ¹⁹ And Moses said to them, Let no man leave of it till the morning. ²⁰ But they did not hearken to Moses, but some left of it till the morning; and it bred worms and stank: and Moses was irritated with them. ²¹ And they gathered it every morning, each man what he needed, and when the sun waxed hot it melted. ²² And it came to pass on the sixth day, they gathered double what was needed, two homers for one man; and all the chiefs of the synagogue went in and reported it to Moses. ²³ And Moses said to them, Is not this the word which the Lord spoke? To-morrow is the sabbath, a holy rest to the Lord: bake that ye will bake, and seethe that ye will seethe, and all that is over leave to be laid by for the morrow. ²⁴ And they left of it till the morning, as Moses commanded them; and it stank not, neither was there a worm in it. ²⁵ And Moses said, Eat that to-day, for to-day is a sabbath to the Lord: it shall not be found in the plain. ²⁶ Six days ye shall gather it, and on the seventh day is a sabbath, for there shall be none on that day. ²⁷ And it came to pass on the seventh day that some of the people went forth to gather, and found none. ²⁸ And the Lord said to Moses, How long are ye unwilling to hearken to my commands and my law? ²⁹ See, for the Lord has given you this day as the sabbath, therefore he has given you on the sixth day the bread of two days: ye shall sit each of you in your houses; let no one go forth from his place on the seventh day. ³⁰ And the people kept sabbath on the seventh day. ³¹ And the children of Israel called the name of it Man; and it was as white coriander seed, and the taste of it as a wafer with honey. ³² And Moses said, This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, Fill an homer with manna, to be laid up for your generations; that they may see the bread which ye ate in the wilderness, when the Lord led you forth out of the land of Egypt. ³³ And Moses said to Aaron, Take a golden pot, and cast into it one full homer of manna; and thou shalt lay it up before God, to be kept for your generations, ³⁴ as the Lord commanded Moses: and Aaron laid it up before the testimony to be kept. ³⁵ And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to the land they ate the manna, until they came to the region of Phoenicia.
