Exodus 16:14-35

LEB(i) 14 And the layer of dew came up, and there* on the face of the desert was a fine granular substance, fine like frost on the ground. 15 And the Israelites* saw, and they said to each other,* "What is this?" because they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, "That is the bread that Yahweh has given to you as food. 16 This is the word that Yahweh commanded, 'Gather from it, each according to what he can eat,* an omer per person* according to the number of you.* You each shall take enough for whoever is in his tent.'" 17 And the Israelites* did so, and they gathered, some more and some less. 18 And when they measured with the omer, the one gathering more had no surplus, and the one gathering less had no lack; they gathered each according to what he could eat.* 19 And Moses said to them, "Let no one leave any of it until morning." 20 But they did not listen to Moses. Some people* left some of it until morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Moses was angry with them. 21 And they gathered it morning by morning, each according to what he could eat,* and it melted when the sun was hot.* 22 And when it was the sixth day, they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one person, and all the leaders of the community came and told Moses. 23 And he said to them, "This is what Yahweh has said. Tomorrow is a rest period, a holy Sabbath for Yahweh. Bake what you want to bake, and boil what you want to boil. Put aside all the surplus for yourselves for safekeeping until the morning." 24 And they put it aside until the morning, as Moses had commanded, and it did not make a stench, and not a maggot was in it. 25 And Moses said, "Eat it today, because today is a Sabbath for Yahweh. Today you will not find it in the field. 26 Six days you will gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, it will not be present on it." 27 And on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, and they did not find any. 28 And Yahweh said to Moses, "How long do you* refuse to keep my commands and my laws? 29 See, because Yahweh has given to you the Sabbath, therefore he is giving to you on the sixth day bread for two days. Stay, each in his location;* let no one go from his place on the seventh day." 30 And the people rested on the seventh day. 31 And the house of Israel called its name "manna." And it was like coriander seed, white, and its taste was like a wafer with honey. 32 And Moses said, "This is the word that Yahweh has commanded. 'A full omer of it is for safekeeping for your generations so that they will see the bread that I fed you in the desert when I brought you from the land of Egypt.'" 33 And Moses said to Aaron, "Take one jar and put there a full omer of manna. Leave it before Yahweh for safekeeping for your generations." 34 As Yahweh had commanded Moses, so Aaron left it before the testimony for safekeeping. 35 And the Israelites* ate the manna forty years, until their coming to an inhabited land; they ate the manna until their coming to the border of the land of Canaan.
