02:016:020 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.
02:016:021 And they gathered it every morning, every man according to
his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
02:016:022 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.
02:016:023 And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath
said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake
that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and
that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
02:016:024 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it
did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
02:016:025 And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath
unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.
02:016:026 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which
is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
02:016:027 And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people
on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.
02:016:028 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my
commandments and my laws?
02:016:029 See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore
he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every
man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
02:016:030 So the people rested on the seventh day.
02:016:031 And 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.
02:016:032 And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commandeth,
Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see
the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought
you forth from the land of Egypt.
02:016:033 And Moses said unto 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.
02:016:034 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the
Testimony, to be kept.
02:016:035 And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until
they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto
the borders of the land of Canaan.
02:016:036 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
02:017:001 And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed
from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the
commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no
water for the people to drink.
02:017:002 Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us
water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with
me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?
