after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
2
And the whole congregation of the children of Israel
murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
3
And the children of Israel said unto them,
Would to God we had died by the hand of the L
ORD
in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh
pots,
and
when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill
this whole assembly with hunger.
4
Then said the L
ORD
unto 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.
5
And 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.
6
And Moses and Aaron said unto all
the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the L
ORD
hath brought you out from the land
of Egypt:
7
And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the L
ORD
; for that he heareth your
murmurings against the L
ORD
: and what
are
we, that ye murmur against us?
8
And Moses said,
This
shall be,
when the L
ORD
shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the
full; for that the L
ORD
heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what
are
we?
your murmurings
are
not against us, but against the L
ORD
.
9
And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come
near before the L
ORD
: for he hath heard your murmurings.
10
And it came to pass, as Aaron spake
unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and,
behold, the glory of the L
ORD
appeared in the cloud.
11
And the L
ORD
spake unto Moses, saying,
12
I have heard the murmurings of the children of
Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled
with bread; and ye shall know that I
am
the L
ORD
your God.
13
And 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.
14
And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness
there lay
a small
round thing,
as
small as the hoar frost on the ground.
15
And when the children of Israel saw
it,
they said one to another, It
is
manna: for they wist not what it
was.
And Moses said unto them,
This
is
the bread which the L
ORD
hath given you to eat.
16
This
is
the thing which the L
ORD
hath commanded, Gather of it every man
according to
his
eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for
them
which
are
in his tents.
17
And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some
less.
18
And 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.
19
And Moses
said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
20
Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses;
but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth
with them.
21
And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when
the sun waxed hot, it melted.
22
And 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.
23
And he said unto them,
