    13 It happened at evening that quail came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay around the camp.

    15 When the children of Israel saw it, they said one to 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."

    24 They laid it up until the morning, as Moses asked, and it didn't become foul, neither was there any worm in it.

    25 Moses said, "Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to Yahweh. Today you shall not find it in the field.

    27 It happened on the seventh day, that 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."
