16Exodus 16

1And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.Select Exodus 16:1

2And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:Select Exodus 16:2

3And the children of Israel said to them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for you have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger. ¶Select Exodus 16:3

4Then said the LORD to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.Select Exodus 16:4

5And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.Select Exodus 16:5

6And Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, At even, then you shall know that the LORD has brought you out from the land of Egypt:Select Exodus 16:6

7And in the morning, then you shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he hears your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that you murmur against us?Select Exodus 16:7

8And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD hears your murmurings which you murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD. ¶Select Exodus 16:8

9And Moses spoke to Aaron, Say to all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he has heard your murmurings.Select Exodus 16:9

10And it came to pass, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud. ¶Select Exodus 16:10

11And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,Select Exodus 16:11

12I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak to them, saying, At even you shall eat flesh, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread; and you shall know that I am the LORD your God.Select Exodus 16:12

13And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.Select Exodus 16:13

14And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, on the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.Select Exodus 16:14

15And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they knew not what it was. And Moses said to them, This is the bread which the LORD has given you to eat. ¶Select Exodus 16:15

16This is the thing which the LORD has commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take you every man for them which are in his tents.Select Exodus 16:16

17And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.Select Exodus 16:17

18And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.Select Exodus 16:18

19And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.Select Exodus 16:19

20Notwithstanding they listened not to Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.Select Exodus 16:20

21And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted. ¶Select Exodus 16:21

22And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.Select Exodus 16:22

23And he said to them, This is that which the LORD has said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath to the LORD: bake that which you will bake to day, and seethe that you will seethe; and that which remains over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.Select Exodus 16:23

24And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.Select Exodus 16:24

25And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath to the LORD: to day you shall not find it in the field.Select Exodus 16:25

26Six days you shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none. ¶Select Exodus 16:26

27And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.Select Exodus 16:27

28And the LORD said to Moses, How long refuse you to keep my commandments and my laws?Select Exodus 16:28

29See, for that the LORD has given you the sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide you every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.Select Exodus 16:29

30So the people rested on the seventh day.Select Exodus 16:30

31And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey. ¶Select Exodus 16:31

32And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commands, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread with which I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.Select Exodus 16:32

33And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.Select Exodus 16:33

34As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.Select Exodus 16:34

35And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.Select Exodus 16:35

36Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.Select Exodus 16:36
