Exodus 16:11-16 Common English Bible (CEB)

11. The Lord spoke to Moses,

12. "I’ve heard the complaints of the Israelites. Tell them, ‘At twilight you will eat meat. And in the morning you will have your fill of bread. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God.’"

13. In the evening a flock of quail flew down and covered the camp. And in the morning there was a layer of dew all around the camp.

14. When the layer of dew lifted, there on the desert surface were thin flakes, as thin as frost on the ground.

15. When the Israelites saw it, they said to each other, "What is it?" They didn’t know what it was.Moses said to them, "This is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat.

16. This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Collect as much of it as each of you can eat, one omer per person. You may collect for the number of people in your household.’"
