02:016:003 And the children of Israel said unto 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 ye have
brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with
hunger.
02:016:004 Then said the LORD 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.
02:016:005 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.
02:016:006 And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At
even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the
land of Egypt:
02:016:007 And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD;
for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we,
that ye murmur against us?
02:016:008 And 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 heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and
what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.
02:016:009 And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of
the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard
your murmurings.
02:016:010 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 LORD appeared in the cloud.
02:016:011 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
02:016:012 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 LORD your
God.
02:016:013 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.
02:016:014 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.
02:016:015 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 LORD hath given you to eat.
02:016:016 This is the thing which the LORD 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.
02:016:017 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more,
some less.
02:016:018 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.
02:016:019 And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
