4 Jehovah said to Moses: »I am going to cause food to rain down from the sky for all of you. The people must go out every day and gather enough for that day. In this way I can test them to find out if they will follow my instructions.
5 »They are to bring in twice as much as usual and prepare it on the sixth day.«
6 Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites: »This evening you will know that it was Jehovah who brought you out of Egypt.
7 »In the morning you will see the glory of Jehovah’s presence. He hears your complaints against him. But what are we that you complain against us?«
8 Moses said: »This will happen when Jehovah gives you meat to eat in the evening, and bread to eat in the morning. Jehovah hears your complaints against him. And what are we? Your complaints are not against us but against Jehovah.«
9 Moses said to Aaron: »Say to all the congregation of the sons of Israel: ‘Come near before Jehovah for he has heard your complaints.’«
10 Aaron was speaking to them, when everyone looked out toward the desert and saw the bright glory of Jehovah in a cloud.
11 Jehovah said to Moses:
12 »I have heard my people complain. I said to them: ‘Each evening you will have meat and each morning they will have more than enough bread.’ Then you will know that I am Jehovah their God.’«
13 That evening many quails came and landed everywhere in the camp, and the next morning dew covered the ground.
14 After the dew had gone, the desert was covered with thin flakes that looked like frost.
15 When the children of Israel saw, they said to one another: »What is this?« For they did not know what it was. Moses said to them: »This is the bread Jehovah has given you to eat.«
