two omers for each one, and all the rulers of the congregation
came and told Moses.
016:023 He said to them, "This is that which Yahweh has spoken,
'Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to Yahweh.
Bake that which you want to bake, and boil that which you
want to boil; and all that remains over lay up for yourselves
to be kept until the morning.'"
016:024 They laid it up until the morning, as Moses asked, and it
didn't become foul, neither was there any worm in it.
016:025 Moses said, "Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to Yahweh.
Today you shall not find it in the field.
016:026 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath.
In it there shall be none."
016:027 It happened on the seventh day, that some of the people went
out to gather, and they found none.
016:028 Yahweh said to Moses, "How long do you refuse to keep my
commandments and my laws?
016:029 Behold, because Yahweh has given you the Sabbath,
therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days.
Everyone stay in his place. Let no one go out of his place
on the seventh day."
016:030 So the people rested on the seventh day.
016:031 The house of Israel called the name of it Manna,{"Manna"
means "What is it?"} and it was like coriander seed, white;
and its taste was like wafers with honey.
016:032 Moses said, "This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded,
'Let an omer-full of it be kept throughout your generations,
that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness,
when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.'"
016:033 Moses said to Aaron, "Take a pot, and put an omer-full
of manna in it, and lay it up before Yahweh, to be kept
throughout your generations."
016:034 As Yahweh commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony,
to be kept.
016:035 The children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they
came to an inhabited land. They ate the manna until they
came to the borders of the land of Canaan.
016:036 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
017:001 All the congregation of the children of Israel traveled
from the wilderness of Sin, by their journeys, according to
Yahweh's commandment, and encamped in Rephidim; but there
was no water for the people to drink.
017:002 Therefore the people quarreled with Moses, and said, "Give us water
to drink." Moses said to them, "Why do you quarrel with me?
Why do you test Yahweh?"
017:003 The people were thirsty for water there; and the people murmured
against Moses, and said, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt,
to kill us, our children, and our livestock with thirst?"
017:004 Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, "What shall I do with these people?
They are almost ready to stone me."
