Exo 16:12 The outcry of the children of Israel has come to my ears: say to them now, At nightfall you will have meat for your food, and in the morning bread in full measure; and you will see that I am the Lord your God.
Exo 16:13 And it came about that in the evening little birds came up and the place was covered with them: and in the morning there was dew all round about the tents.
Exo 16:14 And when the dew was gone, on the face of the earth was a small round thing, like small drops of ice on the earth.
Exo 16:15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, What is it? for they had no idea what it was. And Moses said to them, It is the bread which the Lord has given you for your food.
Exo 16:16 This is what the Lord has said, Let every man take up as much as he has need of; at the rate of one omer for every person, let every man take as much as is needed for his family.
Exo 16:17 And the children of Israel did so, and some took more and some less.
Exo 16:18 And when it was measured, he who had taken up much had nothing over, and he who had little had enough; every man had taken what he was able to make use of.
Exo 16:19 And Moses said to them, Let nothing be kept till the morning.
Exo 16:20 But they gave no attention to Moses, and some of them kept it till the morning and there were worms in it and it had an evil smell: and Moses was angry with them.
Exo 16:21 And they took it up morning by morning, every man as he had need: and when the sun was high it was gone.
Exo 16:22 And on the sixth day they took up twice as much of the bread, two omers for every person: and all the rulers of the people gave Moses word of it.
Exo 16:23 And he said, This is what the Lord has said, Tomorrow is a day of rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord: what has to be cooked may be cooked; and what is over, put on one side to be kept till the morning.
Exo 16:24 And they kept it till the morning as Moses had said: and no smell came from it, and it had no worms.
Exo 16:25 And Moses said, Make your meal today of what you have, for this day is a Sabbath to the Lord: today you will not get any in the fields.
Exo 16:26 For six days you will get it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will not be any.
Exo 16:27 But still on the seventh day some of the people went out to get it, and there was not any.
Exo 16:28 And the Lord said to Moses, How long will you go against my orders and my laws?
Exo 16:29 See, because the Lord has given you the Sabbath, he gives you on the sixth day bread enough for two days; let every man keep where he is; let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
Exo 16:30 So the people took their rest on the seventh day.
Exo 16:31 And this bread was named manna by Israel: it was white, like a grain seed, and its taste was like cakes made with honey.
Exo 16:32 And Moses said, This is the order which the Lord has given: Let one omer of it be kept for future generations, so that they may see the bread which I gave you for your food in the waste land, when I took you out from the land of Egypt.
Exo 16:33 And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot and put one omer of manna in it, and put it away before the Lord, to be kept for future generations.
Exo 16:34 So Aaron put it away in front of the holy chest to be kept, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.
Exo 16:35 And the children of Israel had manna for their food for forty years, till they came to a land with people in it, till they came to the edge of the land of Canaan.
Exo 16:36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
Exo 17:1 And the children of Israel went on from the waste land of Sin, by stages as the Lord gave them orders, and put up their tents in Rephidim: and there was no drinking-water for the people.
Exo 17:2 So the people were angry with Moses, and said, Give us water for drinking."};
