16And they set out from Elim, and all the community of the Israelites^a came to the desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai,^b in the fifteenth day of the second month of their going out from the land of Egypt. ²And all the community of the Israelites^c grumbled against Moses and against Aaron in the desert. ³And the Israelites^d said to them, “If only we had died^e by the hand of Yahweh in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots^f of meat, when we ate bread until we were full,^g because you have brought us out to this desert to kill all of this assembly with hunger.” ⁴And Yahweh said to Moses, “Look, I am going to rain down for you bread from the heavens, and the people will go out and gather enough for the day on its day; in that way I will test them: Will they go according to my law or not? ⁵And then on the sixth day, they will prepare what they bring, and it will be twice over what they will gather every other day.”

⁶And Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites,^h “In the evening, you will know that Yahweh has brought you out from the land of Egypt, ⁷and in the morning, you will see the glory of Yahweh, for he hearsⁱ your grumblings against Yahweh, and what are we that you grumble against us?”
