Exodus 16:7-23 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

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.

20. Notwithstanding they did not hearken unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms and stank; and Moses was angry with them.

21. And they gathered it early in the morning, each one according to his eating; and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.

22. And it came to pass that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one; and all the princes of the congregation came and told Moses.

23. And he said unto them, This is what the Lord has said, Tomorrow is the holy sabbath of rest unto the Lord; bake that which ye will bake today and cook what ye will cook; and that which remains over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
