The Israelites set out from Elim and came to the Wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had left the land of Egypt.

And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto 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.

The entire assembly of the Israelites complained against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.

And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:

The Israelites said to them, "If only we had died by the LORD's hand in the land of Egypt, where we sat by pots of meat and ate bread until we were full! But you brought us into this wilderness to kill this entire assembly with hunger."

And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.

Then the LORD said to Moses, "Behold, I am going to rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way, I will test them to see whether they will follow my instructions or not.

Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.

On the sixth day, they are to prepare what they bring in, and it will be twice as much as they gather on other days.

And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.

So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, "In the evening, you will know that it was the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt,

And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:

and in the morning, you will see the glory of the LORD, because He has heard your complaints against Him. Who are we that you complain against us?"

And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?

And Moses added, "The LORD will give you meat to eat in the evening and all the bread you want in the morning, because He has heard your complaints against Him. But who are we? Your complaints are not against us but against the LORD."

And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.

Then Moses said to Aaron, "Tell the entire assembly of the Israelites, 'Come before the LORD, for He has heard your complaints.'"

And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.

While Aaron was speaking to the whole assembly of the Israelites, they turned toward the wilderness, and there was the glory of the LORD appearing in the cloud.

And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

"I have heard the complaints of the Israelites. Tell them, 'At twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God.'"

I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.

That evening, quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning, there was a layer of dew around the camp.

And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.

When the dew evaporated, there was a fine, flaky substance on the surface of the wilderness, as fine as frost on the ground.

And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.

When the Israelites saw it, they said to one another, "What is it?" because they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, "It is the bread that the LORD has given you to eat.

And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.

This is what the LORD has commanded: 'Each person is to gather as much as they need to eat. Take an omer for each person according to the number of people in your tent.'

This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.

The Israelites did as they were told. Some gathered much, and some gathered little.

And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.

When they measured it with an omer, those who gathered much did not have too much, and those who gathered little did not have too little. Each person gathered just as much as they needed to eat.

And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.

Then Moses said to them, "No one is to keep any of it until morning."

And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.

But some of them did not listen to Moses and kept part of it until morning. It bred worms and began to stink, and Moses was angry with them.

Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.

Each morning, everyone gathered as much as they needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away.

And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.

On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much bread—two omers for each person—and all the leaders of the community came and reported this to Moses.

And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.

He said to them, "This is what the LORD has said: 'Tomorrow is to be a day of complete rest, a holy sabbath to the LORD. Bake what you want to bake and boil what you want to boil today, and save whatever is left over to keep until morning.'"

And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

So they saved it until morning as Moses commanded, and it did not stink or have maggots in it.

And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.

Moses said, "Eat it today, because today is a sabbath to the LORD. You will not find any of it in the field today.

And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.

For six days you are to gather it, but on the seventh day, the sabbath, there will not be any."

Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.

However, some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, but they found nothing.

And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.

Then the LORD said to Moses, "How long will you refuse to keep my commands and instructions?

And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?

Understand that the LORD has given you the sabbath; that is why on the sixth day He gives you bread for two days. Everyone is to stay where they are; no one is to go out on the seventh day."

See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.

So the people rested on the seventh day.

So the people rested on the seventh day.

The house of Israel named it manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.

And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.

Moses said, "This is what the LORD has commanded: 'Let an omer of it be kept for future generations so that they can see the bread I gave you to eat in the wilderness when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.'"

And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.

Moses then said to Aaron, "Take a jar and put an omer of manna in it. Place it before the LORD to be preserved for future generations."

And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.

As the LORD commanded Moses, Aaron placed it before the Testimony to be preserved.

As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

The Israelites ate manna for forty years, until they came to a land that was settled; they ate manna until they reached the border of Canaan.

And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.

Now an omer is one-tenth of an ephah.

Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
