Exodus 16:5-10 Common English Bible (CEB)

5. On the sixth day, when they measure out what they have collected, it will be twice as much as they collected on other days."

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

7. And in the morning you will see the Lord’s glorious presence, because your complaints against the Lord have been heard. Who are we? Why blame us?"

8. Moses continued, "The Lord will give you meat to eat in the evening and your fill of bread in the morning because the Lord heard the complaints you made against him. Who are we? Your complaints aren’t against us but against the Lord."

9. Then Moses said to Aaron, "Say to the whole Israelite community, ‘Come near to the Lord, because he’s heard your complaints.’"

10. As Aaron spoke to the whole Israelite community, they turned to look toward the desert, and just then the glorious presence of the Lord appeared in the cloud.
