[1] They took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt. [2] The whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness; [3] and the children of Israel said to them, “We wish that we had died by Yahweh’s hand in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots, when we ate our fill of bread, for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.” [4] Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, I will rain bread from the sky for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law or not. [5] It shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall prepare that which they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.” [6] Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, “At evening, you shall know that Yahweh has brought you out from the land of Egypt. [7] In the morning, you shall see Yahweh’s glory; because he hears your murmurings against Yahweh. Who are we, that you murmur against us?” [8] Moses said, “Now Yahweh will give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you, because Yahweh hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Yahweh.” [9] Moses said to Aaron, “Tell all the congregation of the children of Israel, ‘Come close to Yahweh, for he has heard your murmurings.’ ” [10] As Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, Yahweh’s glory appeared in the cloud. [11] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, [12] “I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, ‘At evening you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am Yahweh your God.’ ” [13] In the evening, quail came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay around the camp. [14] When the dew that lay had gone, behold, on the surface of the wilderness was a small round thing, small as the frost on the ground. [15] When the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they didn’t know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread which Yahweh has given you to eat. [16] This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded: ‘Gather of it everyone according to his eating; an omerⓘ a head, according to the number of your persons, you shall take it, every man for those who are in his tent.’ ” [17] The children of Israel did so, and some gathered more, some less. [18] When they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack. They each gathered according to his eating. [19] Moses said to them, “Let no one leave of it until the morning.” [20] Notwithstanding they didn’t listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, so it bred worms and became foul; and Moses was angry with them. [21] They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted. [22] On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one; and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses. [23] 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.’ ” [24] They laid it up until the morning, as Moses ordered, and it didn’t become foul, and there were no worms in it. [25] Moses said, “Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to Yahweh. Today you shall not find it in the field. [26] Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none.” [27] On the seventh day, some of the people went out to gather, and they found none. [28] Yahweh said to Moses, “How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws? [29] 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.” [30] So the people rested on the seventh day. [31] The house of Israel called its name “Manna”,ⓘ and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey. [32] 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 out of the land of Egypt.’ ” [33] 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.” [34] As Yahweh commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept. [35] 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. [36] Now an omer is one tenth of an ephah.ⓘ

Manna

[1] And they took their journey H5265 (QalImpf) from Elim, H362 and all the congregation H5712 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 came H935 (QalImpf) unto the wilderness H4057 of Sin, H5512 which is between Elim H362 and Sinai, H5514 on the fifteenth H2568 day H3117 of the second H8145 month H2320 after their departing out H3318 (QalInf) of the land H776 of Egypt. H4714 [2] And the whole congregation H5712 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 murmured H3885 (NiphImpf) against Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 in the wilderness: H4057 [3] and the children H1121 of Israel H3478 said H559 (QalImpf) unto them, Would to God H4310 we had died H4191 (QalInf) by the hand H3027 of the Lord H3068 in the land H776 of Egypt, H4714 when we sat H3427 (QalInf) by the flesh H1320 pots, H5518 and when we did eat H398 (QalInf) bread H3899 to the full; H7648 for ye have brought us forth H3318 (HiphPerf) into this wilderness, H4057 to kill H4191 (HiphInf) this whole assembly H6951 with hunger. H7458 [4] Then said H559 (QalImpf) the Lord H3068 unto Moses, H4872 Behold, I will rain H4305 (HiphPtc) bread H3899 from heaven H8064 for you; and the people H5971 shall go out H3318 (QalPerf) and gather H3950 (QalPerf) a certain rate H1697 every day, H3117§ that I may prove H5254 (PielImpf) them, whether they will walk H3212 (QalImpf) in my law, H8451 or no. [5] And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth H8345 day H3117 they shall prepare H3559 (HiphPerf) that which H834 they bring in; H935 (HiphImpf) and it shall be twice H4932 as much as they gather H3950 (QalImpf) daily. H3117 [6] And Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 said H559 (QalImpf) unto all the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 At even, H6153 then ye shall know H3045 (QalPerf) that the Lord H3068 hath brought you out H3318 (HiphPerf) from the land H776 of Egypt: H4714 [7] and in the morning, H1242 then ye shall see H7200 (QalPerf) the glory H3519 of the Lord; H3068 for that he heareth H8085 (QalInf) your murmurings H8519 against the Lord: H3068 and what are we, H5168 that ye murmur H3885 (HiphImpf/Qere) against us? [8] And Moses H4872 said, H559 (QalImpf) This shall be, when the Lord H3068 shall give H5414 (QalInf) you in the evening H6153 flesh H1320 to eat, H398 (QalInf) and in the morning H1242 bread H3899 to the full; H7646 (QalInf) for that the Lord H3068 heareth H8085 (QalInf) your murmurings H8519 which ye murmur H3885 (HiphPtc) against him: and what are we? H5168 your murmurings H8519 are not against us, but against the Lord. H3068 [9] And Moses H4872 spake H559 (QalImpf) unto Aaron, H175 Say H559 (QalImpv) unto all the congregation H5712 of the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 Come near H7126 (QalImpv) before H6440 the Lord: H3068 for he hath heard H8085 (QalPerf) your murmurings. H8519 [10] And it came to pass, as Aaron H175 spake H1696 (PielInf) unto the whole congregation H5712 of the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 that they looked H6437 (QalImpf) toward the wilderness, H4057 and, behold, the glory H3519 of the Lord H3068 appeared H7200 (NiphPerf) in the cloud. H6051 [11] And the Lord H3068 spake H1696 (PielImpf) unto Moses, H4872 saying, H559 (QalInf) [12] I have heard H8085 (QalPerf) the murmurings H8519 of the children H1121 of Israel: H3478 speak H1696 (PielImpv) unto them, saying, H559 (QalInf) At even H996 ye shall eat H398 (QalImpf) flesh, H1320 and in the morning H1242 ye shall be filled H7646 (QalImpf) with bread; H3899 and ye shall know H3045 (QalPerf) that I am the Lord H3068 your God. H430 [13] And it came to pass, that at even H6153 the quails H7958 came up, H5927 (QalImpf) and covered H3680 (PielImpf) the camp: H4264 and in the morning H1242 the dew H2919 lay H7902 round about H5439 the host. H4264 [14] And when the dew H2919 that lay H7902 was gone up, H5927 (QalImpf) behold, upon the face H6440 of the wilderness H4057 there lay a small H1851 round thing, H2636 (PualPtc) as small H1851 as the hoar frost H3713 on the ground. H776 [15] And when the children H1121 of Israel H3478 saw H7200 (QalImpf) it, they said H559 (QalImpf) one H376 to another, H251 It is manna:§ H4478 for they wist H3045 (QalPerf) not what it was. And Moses H4872 said H559 (QalImpf) unto them, This is the bread H3899 which the Lord H3068 hath given H5414 (QalPerf) you to eat. H402 [16] This is the thing H1697 which H834 the Lord H3068 hath commanded, H6680 (PielPerf) Gather H3950 (QalImpv) of it every man H376 according H6310 to his eating, H400 an omer H6016 for every man, H1538§ according to the number H4557 of your persons; H5315§ take H3947 (QalImpf) ye every man H376 for them which are in his tents. H168 [17] And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 did H6213 (QalImpf) so, and gathered, H3950 (QalImpf) some more, H7235 (HiphPtc) some less. H4591 (HiphPtc) [18] And when they did mete H4058 (QalImpf) it with an omer, H6016 he that gathered much H7235 (HiphPtc) had nothing over, H5736 (HiphPerf) and he that gathered little H4591 (HiphPtc) had no lack; H2637 (HiphPerf) they gathered H3950 (QalPerf) every man H376 according H6310 to his eating. H400 [19] And Moses H4872 said, H559 (QalImpf) Let no man H376 leave H3498 (HiphImpf) of it till the morning. H1242 [20] Notwithstanding they hearkened H8085 (QalPerf) not unto Moses; H4872 but some H582 of them left H3498 (HiphImpf) of it until the morning, H1242 and it bred H7311 (QalImpf) worms, H8438 and stank: H887 (QalImpf) and Moses H4872 was wroth H7107 (QalImpf) with them. [21] And they gathered H3950 (QalImpf) it every morning, H1242 every man H376 according H6310 to his eating: H400 and when the sun H8121 waxed hot, H2552 (QalPerf) it melted. H4549 (NiphPerf) [22] And it came to pass, that on the sixth H8345 day H3117 they gathered H3950 (QalPerf) twice H4932 as much bread, H3899 two H8147 omers H6016 for one H259 man: and all the rulers H5387 of the congregation H5712 came H935 (QalImpf) and told H5046 (HiphImpf) Moses. H4872 [23] And he said H559 (QalImpf) unto them, This is that which the Lord H3068 hath said, H1696 (PielPerf) To morrow H4279 is the rest H7677 of the holy H6944 sabbath H7676 unto the Lord: H3068 bake H644 (QalImpv) that which ye will bake H644 (QalImpf) to day, and seethe H1310 (PielImpv) that ye will seethe; H1310 (PielImpf) and that which H3605 remaineth over H5736 (QalActPtc) lay up H3240 (HiphImpv) for you to be kept H4931 until the morning. H1242 [24] And they laid it up H3240 (HiphImpf) till the morning, H1242 as Moses H4872 bade: H6680 (PielPerf) and it did not stink, H887 (HiphPerf) neither was there any worm H7415 therein. [25] And Moses H4872 said, H559 (QalImpf) Eat H398 (QalImpv) that to day; H3117 for to day H3117 is a sabbath H7676 unto the Lord: H3068 to day H3117 ye shall not find H4672 (QalImpf) it in the field. H7704 [26] Six H8337 days H3117 ye shall gather H3950 (QalImpf) it; but on the seventh H7637 day, H3117 which is the sabbath, H7676 in it there shall be none. [27] And it came to pass, that there went out H3318 (QalPerf) some of the people H5971 on the seventh H7637 day H3117 for to gather, H3950 (QalInf) and they found H4672 (QalPerf) none. [28] And the Lord H3068 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Moses, H4872 How long refuse H3985 (PielPerf) ye to keep H8104 (QalInf) my commandments H4687 and my laws? H8451 [29] See, H7200 (QalImpv) for that the Lord H3068 hath given H5414 (QalPerf) you the sabbath, H7676 therefore he giveth H5414 (QalActPtc) you on the sixth H8345 day H3117 the bread H3899 of two days; H3117 abide H3427 (QalImpv) ye every man H376 in his place, let no man H376 go out H3318 (QalImpf) of his place H4725 on the seventh H7637 day. H3117 [30] So the people H5971 rested H7673 (QalImpf) on the seventh H7637 day. H3117 [31] And the house H1004 of Israel H3478 called H7121 (QalImpf) the name H8034 thereof Manna: H4478 and it was like coriander H1407 seed, H2233 white; H3836 and the taste H2940 of it was like wafers H6838 made with honey. H1706 [32] And Moses H4872 said, H559 (QalImpf) This is the thing H1697 which the Lord H3068 commandeth, H6680 (PielPerf) Fill H4393 an omer H6016 of it to be kept H4931 for your generations; H1755 that they may see H7200 (QalImpf) the bread H3899 wherewith I have fed H398 (HiphPerf) you in the wilderness, H4057 when I brought you forth H3318 (HiphInf) from the land H776 of Egypt. H4714 [33] And Moses H4872 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Aaron, H175 Take H3947 (QalImpv) a H259 pot, H6803 and put H5414 (QalImpv) an omer H6016 full H4393 of manna H4478 therein, and lay it up H3240 (HiphImpv) before H6440 the Lord, H3068 to be kept H4931 for your generations. H1755 [34] As the Lord H3068 commanded H6680 (PielPerf) Moses, H4872 so Aaron H175 laid it up H3240 (HiphImpf) before H6440 the Testimony, H5715 to be kept. H4931 [35] And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 did eat H398 (QalPerf) manna H4478 forty H705 years, H8141 until they came H935 (QalInf) to a land H776 inhabited; H3427 (NiphPtc) they did eat H398 (QalPerf) manna, H4478 until they came H935 (QalInf) unto the borders H7097 of the land H776 of Canaan. H3667 [36] Now an omer H6016 is the tenth H6224 part of an ephah. H374
