7. In the morning you will see the glory of the lord, because he has heard your complaints, which are against him, not against us. What have we done that you should complain about us?”
8. Then Moses added, “The lord will give you meat to eat in the evening and bread to satisfy you in the morning, for he has heard all your complaints against him. What have we done? Yes, your complaints are against the lord, not against us.”
9. Then Moses said to Aaron, “Announce this to the entire community of Israel: ‘Present yourselves before the lord, for he has heard your complaining.’”
10. And as Aaron spoke to the whole community of Israel, they looked out toward the wilderness. There they could see the awesome glory of the lord in the cloud.
11. Then the lord said to Moses,
12. “I have heard the Israelites’ complaints. Now tell them, ‘In the evening you will have meat to eat, and in the morning you will have all the bread you want. Then you will know that I am the lord your God.’”
13. That evening vast numbers of quail flew in and covered the camp. And the next morning the area around the camp was wet with dew.
14. When the dew evaporated, a flaky substance as fine as frost blanketed the ground.
15. The Israelites were puzzled when they saw it. “What is it?” they asked each other. They had no idea what it was.And Moses told them, “It is the food the lord has given you to eat.
16. These are the lord’s instructions: Each household should gather as much as it needs. Pick up two quarts for each person in your tent.”
