Exodus 16:13–22

¹³So it came to pass in the evening, that quails coming up, covered the camp: and in the morning a dew lay round about the camp.

¹⁴And when it had covered the face of the earth, it appeared in the wilderness small, and as it were beaten with a pestle, like unto the hoar frost on the ground.

¹⁵And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another: Manhu! which signifieth: What is this! for they knew not what it was. And Moses said to them: This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat.

¹⁶This is the word that the Lord hath commanded: Let every one gather of it as much as is enough to eat; a gomor for every man, according to the number of your souls that dwell in a tent, so shall you take of it.

¹⁷And the children of Israel did so: and they gathered, one more, another less.

¹⁸And they measured by the measure of a gomor: neither had he more that had gathered more; nor did he find less that had provided less: but every one had gathered, according to what they were able to eat.

¹⁹And Moses said to them: Let no man leave thereof till the morning.

²⁰And they hearkened not to him, but some of them left until the morning, and it began to be full of worms, and it putrefied, and Moses was angry with them.

²¹Now every one of them gathered in the morning, as much as might suffice to eat: and after the sun grew hot, it melted.

²²But on the sixth day they gathered twice as much, that is, two gomors every man: and all the rulers of the multitude came, and told Moses.
