2. And the whole congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness;
3. and the sons of Israel said unto them, It would have been better if we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots and when we ate bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
4. Then the Lord said unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather the word for every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.
5. And it shall come to pass that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in, which shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
6. Then Moses and Aaron said unto all the sons of Israel, At evening ye shall know that the Lord has brought you out from the land of Egypt;
7. And in the morning ye shall see the glory of the Lord; for he has heard your murmurings against the Lord; and what are we, that ye murmur against us?
8. And Moses said, This shall be when the Lord shall give you in the evening flesh to eat and in the morning bread to the full; for the Lord has heard your murmurings which ye have murmured against him; and what are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against the Lord.
9. And Moses spoke unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the sons of Israel, Come near before the Lord, for he has heard your murmurings.
10. And it came to pass as Aaron spoke unto the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud.
11. And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
12. I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel; speak unto them, saying, Between the two evenings ye shall eat flesh, and tomorrow ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God.
13. And it came to pass, that in the evening quail came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew descended round about the host.
14. And when the dew ceased to descend, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing as small as the hoar frost on the ground.
15. And when the sons of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna (What is it?): for they did not know what it was. Then Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat.
16. This is the thing which the Lord has commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for each one, according to the number of your persons; take ye each one for those who are in his tent.
17. And the sons of Israel did so and gathered, some more, some less.
18. And when they did measure it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered each one according to his eating.
19. And Moses said, Let no one leave of it until the morning.
