11. The Lord said to Moses,
12. “I have heard the grumblings of the people of Israel. So tell them, ‘At twilight you will eat meat. And every morning you will eat all the bread you want. Then you will know I am the Lord, your God.’”
13. That evening, quail came and covered the camp. And in the morning dew lay around the camp.
14. When the dew was gone, thin flakes like frost were on the desert ground.
15. When the Israelites saw it, they asked each other, “What is that?” They asked this question because they did not know what it was.So Moses told them, “This is the bread the Lord has given you to eat.
16. The Lord has commanded, ‘Each one of you must gather what he needs. Gather about two quarts for every person in your family.’”
17. So the people of Israel did this. Some people gathered much, and some gathered little.
18. Then they measured it. The person who gathered more did not have too much. The person who gathered less did not have too little. Each person gathered just as much as he needed.
19. Moses said to them, “Don’t keep any of it to eat the next day.”
20. But some of the people did not listen to Moses. They kept part of it to eat the next morning. But it became full of worms and began to stink. So Moses was angry with these people.
