Exodus 16:13–22

¹³And it came to pass in the evening, that quails came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay round the camp. ¹⁴And when the dew that lay round it was gone up, behold, on the face of the wilderness there was something fine, granular, fine as hoar-frost, on the ground. ¹⁵And the children of Israel saw it, and said one to another, What is it? for they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, This is the bread which Jehovah has given you to eat. ¹⁶This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded: Gather of it every man according to what he can eat, an omer a poll, according to the number of your persons: ye shall take every man for those that are in his tent. ¹⁷And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some much, some little. ¹⁸And they measured with the omer: then he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little wanted nothing: they had gathered every man according to the measure of his eating. ¹⁹And Moses said to them, Let no man leave any of it until the morning. ²⁰But they did not hearken to Moses; and some men left of it until the morning; then worms bred in it and it stank. And Moses was wroth with them. ²¹And they gathered it every morning, every man as much as he could eat; and when the sun became hot, it melted.

²²And it came to pass on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one; and all the princes of the assembly came and told Moses.
