10. So Aaron spoke to all the Israelites. While he was talking, the people turned and looked into the desert. And they saw the Glory of the Lord appear in a cloud.
11. The Lord said to Moses,
12. “I have heard the complaints of the Israelites. So tell them, ‘Tonight you will eat meat. And in the morning you will have all the bread you want. Then you will know you can trust the Lord, your God.’”
13. That evening, flocks of quail came and filled the camp, and in the morning dew lay on the ground all around it.
14. After the dew was gone, something like thin flakes of frost was on the ground.
15. When the Israelites saw it, they asked each other, “What is that?” because they did not know what it was. So Moses told them, “This is the food the Lord is giving you to eat.
16. The Lord says, ‘Each of you should gather what you need, a basket of manna for everyone in your family.’”
17. So that is what the Israelites did. Some people gathered a large amount, some people gathered a little.
18. But when they measured what they had gathered, there was no shortage and there was none left over. Everyone gathered just what they needed.
