Exodus 16:1-17 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel removed from Aileim and came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Aileim and Sina.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And the whole congregation of the children of Israel removed from Aileim and came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Aileim and Sina. ² And on the fifteenth day of the second month after their coming out of Egypt all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron. ³ The Israelites indeed said to them, Oh that we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of flesh meat and ate bread in plenty! For you have brought us to this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger. ⁴ Whereupon the Lord said to Moses, Behold I am going to rain bread from heaven for you. And the people shall go and gather it day by day, that I may try them whether they will walk in my law or not. ⁵ But on the sixth day they must be provident in respect to what they bring in. It shall be twice as much as they gather daily. ⁶ Then Moses and Aaron said to all the congregation of the Israelites, In the evening you shall know that the Lord hath brought you out of the land of Egypt, ⁷ and in the morning you shall see the glory of the Lord, by his hearkening to your murmurings against God.

And you shall know that I am the Lord, your God. ¹³ Accordingly there came up in the evening a flock of quails, which covered the camp, and in the morning while the dew lay around the camp, ¹⁴ behold on the face of the wilderness something small like coriander, white like hoar frost, on the ground! ¹⁵ And when the Israelites saw this they said one to another, What is this? for they did not know what it was. Upon which Moses said to them. This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat. ¹⁶ This is what the Lord hath commanded, Gather of it, every one for his family a gomer a head according to the number of souls, you must every one gather for those in the tent with you. ¹⁷ And the children of Israel did so and gathered some more and some less,
