Exodus 16:26-36 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

26. Six days you will gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, it will not be present on it.”

27. And on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, and they did not find any.

28. And Yahweh said to Moses, “How long do you refuse to keep my commands and my laws?

29. See, because Yahweh has given to you the Sabbath, therefore he is giving to you on the sixth day bread for two days. Stay, each in his location; let no one go from his place on the seventh day.”

30. And the people rested on the seventh day.

31. And the house of Israel called its name “manna.” And it was like coriander seed, white, and its taste was like a wafer with honey.

32. And Moses said, “This is the word that Yahweh has commanded. ‘A full omer of it is for safekeeping for your generations so that they will see the bread that I fed you in the desert when I brought you from the land of Egypt.’ ”

33. And Moses said to Aaron, “Take one jar and put there a full omer of manna. Leave it before Yahweh for safekeeping for your generations.”

34. As Yahweh had commanded Moses, so Aaron left it before the testimony for safekeeping.

35. And the Israelites ate the manna forty years, until their coming to an inhabited land; they ate the manna until their coming to the border of the land of Canaan.

36. (And an omer is a tenth of an ephah.)
