Exodus 16 They journeyed from Elim; and the whole congregation of the sons of Israel entered into the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their going forth from the land of Egypt.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ They journeyed from Elim; and the whole congregation of the sons of Israel entered into the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their going forth from the land of Egypt. ² Then the whole congregation of the sons of Israel grumbled against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness; ³ and the sons of Israel said to them: O that we had died by the hand of Yahweh in the land of Egypt when we sat over the flesh pots when we ate bread to satisfaction, for you have brought us forth to this wilderness to put this entire assembly to death with famine. ⁴ Then Yahweh said to Moses: Behold Me causing bread from the heavens to rain for you. When the people will go forth they will pick up a day's matter in its day, that I may probe them, whether they shall go by My law or not. ⁵ And it will come to be on the sixth day when they prepare what they are bringing in that there will come to be a duplicate amount over that which they are picking up day by day. ⁶ So Moses and Aaron said to all the sons of Israel: This evening, then you will know that it was Yahweh Who brought you forth from the land of Egypt. ⁷ And in the morning then you will see the glory of Yahweh since He heard your grumblings against Yahweh. What are we that you are grumbling against us? ⁸ And Moses said: Since Yahweh gives to you in the evening flesh to eat and bread in the morning to satisfy, when Yahweh heard your grumblings which you are grumbling against Him, then what are we? Not against us are your grumblings, but rather against Yahweh. ⁹ Then Moses said to Aaron: Say to the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, Come near before Yahweh, for He has heard your grumblings. ¹⁰ And it came to be as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, that they turned around to the wilderness, and behold, the glory of Yahweh, it appeared in the cloud. ¹¹ Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying. ¹² I have heard the grumblings of the sons of Israel. Speak to them saying, Between the evening hours you shall eat flesh, and in the morning you shall be satisfied with bread. Then you will realize that I am Yahweh your Elohim. ¹³ When it came to be in the evening, quail came up and covered the camp. In the morning the lying of the night mist came to be around the camp;" 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. ³⁶ (Now an omer, it is a tenth of the ephah..
