Exodus 16
1 The Israelites come to Sin. 2 They murmur for want of bread. 4 God promiseth them bread from heaven. 11 Quails are sent, 14 and manna. 16 The ordering of manna. 25 It was not to be found on the Sabbath. 32 An omer of it is preserved.
16:1
Then they set 5265 out from Elim 362, and all 3605 the congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 came 935 to the wilderness 4057b of Sin 5512b, which 834 is between 996 Elim 362 and Sinai 5514, on the fifteenth 2568 6240 day 3117 of the second 8145 month 2320 after their departure 3318 from the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
16:2
The whole 3605 congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 grumbled 3885b against 5921 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 in the wilderness 4057b.
16:3
The sons 1121 of Israel 3478 said 559 to them, “Would 4310 5414 that we had died 4191 by the LORD’S 3068 hand 3027 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714, when we sat 3427 by the pots 5518a of meat 1320, when we ate 398 bread 3899 to the full 7648; for you have brought 3318 us out into this 2088 wilderness 4057b to kill 4191 this 2088 whole 3605 assembly 6951 with hunger 7458.”
16:4
¶ Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, “Behold 2009, I will rain 4305 bread 3899 from heaven 8064 for you; and the people 5971a shall go 3318 out and gather 3950 a day’s 3117 portion 1697 every day 3117, that I may test 5254 them, whether or 518 not they will walk 1980 in My instruction 8451.
16:5
“On the sixth 8345 day 3117, when they prepare 3559 what 834 they bring 935 in, it will be twice 4932 as much 834 as they gather 3950 daily 3117.”
16:6
So Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 said 559 to all 3605 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, “At evening 6153 you will know 3045 that the LORD 3068 has brought 3318 you out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714;
16:7
and in the morning 1242 you will see 7200 the glory 3519b of the LORD 3068, for He hears 8085 your grumblings 8519b against 5921 the LORD 3068; and what 4100 are we, that you grumble 3885b against 5921 us?”
16:8
Moses 4872 said 559, “[This will happen] when the LORD 3068 gives 5414 you meat 1320 to eat 398 in the evening 6153, and bread 3899 to the full 7646 in the morning 1242; for the LORD 3068 hears 8085 your grumblings 8519b which 834 you grumble 3885b against 5921 Him. And what 4100 are we? Your grumblings 8519b are not against 5921 us but against 5921 the LORD 3068.”
16:9
¶ Then Moses 4872 said 559 to Aaron 175, “Say 559 to all 3605 the congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, ‘Come 7126 near 7126 before 6440 the LORD 3068, for He has heard 8085 your grumblings 8519b.’”
16:10
It came 1961 about as Aaron 175 spoke 1696 to the whole 3605 congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, that they looked 6437 toward 413 the wilderness 4057b, and behold 2009, the glory 3519b of the LORD 3068 appeared 7200 in the cloud 6051.
16:11
And the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,
16:12
“I have heard 8085 the grumblings 8519b of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478; speak 1696 to them, saying 559, ‘At twilight 6153 you shall eat 398 meat 1320, and in the morning 1242 you shall be filled 7646 with bread 3899; and you shall know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068 your God 430.’”
16:13
¶ So it came 1961 about at evening 6153 that the quails 7958 came 5927 up and covered 3680 the camp 4264, and in the morning 1242 there was a layer 7902 of dew 2919 around 5439 the camp 4264.
16:14
When the layer 7902 of dew 2919 evaporated 5927, behold 2009, on the surface 6440 of the wilderness 4057b there was a fine 1851 flake-like 2636 thing 2636, fine 1851 as the frost 3713b on the ground 776.
16:15
When the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 saw 7200 [it], they said 559 to one 376 another 251, “What 4478b is it?” For they did not know 3045 what 4100 it was. And Moses 4872 said 559 to them, “It is the bread 3899 which 834 the LORD 3068 has given 5414 you to eat 402.
16:16
“This 2088 is what 1697 834 the LORD 3068 has commanded 6680, ‘Gather 3950 of it every 376 man 376 as much 6310 as he should eat 398; you shall take 3947 an omer 6016b apiece 1538 according to the number 4557 of persons 5315 each 376 of you has 3947 in his tent 168.’”
16:17
The sons 1121 of Israel 3478 did 6213a so 3651, and [some] gathered 3950 much 7235a and [some] little 4591.
16:18
When they measured 4058 it with an omer 6016b, he who had 7235a gathered much 7235a had no 3808 excess 5736, and he who had 4591 gathered little 4591 had no 3808 lack 2637; every 376 man 376 gathered 3950 as much 6310 as he should eat 398.
16:19
Moses 4872 said 559 to them, “Let no 408 man 376 leave 3498 any 4480 of it until 5704 morning 1242.”
16:20
But they did not listen 8085 to Moses 4872, and some 376 left 3498 part of it until 5704 morning 1242, and it bred 7426b worms 8438 and became 887 foul 887; and Moses 4872 was angry 7107 with them.
16:21
They gathered 3950 it morning 1242 by morning 1242, every 376 man 376 as much 6310 as he should eat 398; but when the sun 8121 grew 2552 hot 2552, it would melt 4549.
16:22
¶ Now on the sixth 8345 day 3117 they gathered 3950 twice 4932 as much 4932 bread 3899, two 8147 omers 6016b for each 259 one 259. When all 3605 the leaders 5387a of the congregation 5712 came 935 and told 5046 Moses 4872,
16:23
then he said 559 to them, “This 1931 is what 834 the LORD 3068 meant 1696: Tomorrow 4279 is a sabbath 7677 observance 7677, a holy 6944 sabbath 7676 to the LORD 3068. Bake 644 what 834 you will bake 644 and boil 1310 what 834 you will boil 1310, and all 3605 that is left 5736 over 5736 put 5117 aside 5117 to be kept 4931 until 5704 morning 1242.”
16:24
So they put 5117 it aside 5117 until 5704 morning 1242, as Moses 4872 had ordered 6680, and it did not become 887 foul 887 nor 3808 was there any worm 7415 in it.
16:25
Moses 4872 said 559, “Eat 398 it today 3117, for today 3117 is a sabbath 7676 to the LORD 3068; today 3117 you will not find 4672 it in the field 7704.
16:26
“Six 8337a days 3117 you shall gather 3950 it, but on the seventh 7637 day 3117, [the] sabbath 7676, there will be none 3808.”
16:27
¶ It came 1961 about on the seventh 7637 day 3117 that some 4480 of the people 5971a went 3318 out to gather 3950, but they found 4672 none 3808.
16:28
Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, “How 575 long 5704 do you refuse 3985 to keep 8104 My commandments 4687 and My instructions 8451?
16:29
“See 7200, the LORD 3068 has given 5414 you the sabbath 7676; therefore 5921 3651 He gives 5414 you bread 3899 for two days 3117 on the sixth 8345 day 3117. Remain 3427 every 376 man 376 in his place 8478; let no 408 man 376 go 3318 out of his place 4725 on the seventh 7637 day 3117.”
16:30
So the people 5971a rested 7673a on the seventh 7637 day 3117.
16:31
¶ The house 1004 of Israel 3478 named 7121 8034 it manna 4478a, and it was like coriander 1407 seed 2233, white 3836, and its taste 2940 was like wafers 6838 with honey 1706.
16:32
Then Moses 4872 said 559, “This 2088 is what 1697 834 the LORD 3068 has commanded 6680, ‘Let an omerful 4393 6016b of it be kept 4931 throughout your generations 1755, that they may see 7200 the bread 3899 that I fed 398 you in the wilderness 4057b, when I brought 3318 you out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714.’”
16:33
Moses 4872 said 559 to Aaron 175, “Take 3947 a jar 6803 and put 5414 an omerful 4393 6016b of manna 4478a in it, and place 5117 it before 6440 the LORD 3068 to be kept 4931 throughout your generations 1755.”
16:34
As the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 Moses 4872, so Aaron 175 placed 5117 it before 6440 the Testimony 5715, to be kept 4931.
16:35
The sons 1121 of Israel 3478 ate 398 the manna 4478a forty 705 years 8141, until 5704 they came 935 to an inhabited 3427 land 776; they ate 398 the manna 4478a until 5704 they came 935 to the border 7097a of the land 776 of Canaan 3667a.
16:36
(Now an omer 6016b is a tenth 6224 of an ephah 374.)
