Exodus 16:4–15

⁴And Jehovah saith unto Moses, ‘Lo, I am raining to you bread from the heavens—and the people have gone out and gathered the matter of a day in its day—so that I try them whether they walk in My law, or not; ⁵and it hath been on the sixth day, that they have prepared that which they bring in, and it hath been double above that which they gather day by day.’ ⁶And Moses saith—Aaron also—unto all the sons of Israel, ‘Evening—and ye have known that Jehovah hath brought you out from the land of Egypt; ⁷and morning—and ye have seen the honour of Jehovah, in His hearing your murmurings against Jehovah, and what are we, that ye murmur against us?’ ⁸And Moses saith, ‘In Jehovah’s giving to you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning to satiety—in Jehovah’s hearing your murmurings, which ye are murmuring against Him, and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against Jehovah.’ ⁹And Moses saith unto Aaron, ‘Say unto all the company of the sons of Israel, Come ye near before Jehovah, for He hath heard your murmurings;’ ¹⁰and it cometh to pass, when Aaron is speaking unto all the company of the sons of Israel, that they turn towards the wilderness, and lo, the honour of Jehovah is seen in the cloud. ¹¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, ¹²‘I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel; speak unto them, saying, Between the evenings ye eat flesh, and in the morning ye are satisfied with bread, and ye have known that I am Jehovah your God.’

¹³And it cometh to pass in the evening, that the quail cometh up, and covereth the camp, and in the morning there hath been the lying of dew round about the camp, ¹⁴and the lying of the dew goeth up, and lo, on the face of the wilderness a thin, bare thing, thin as hoar-frost on the earth. ¹⁵And the sons of Israel see, and say one unto another, ‘What is it?’ for they have not known what it is; and Moses saith unto them, ‘It is the bread which Jehovah hath given to you for food.
