Shemoth (Exodus) 16

Exod 16:1 And they set out from Ĕlim, and all the congregation of the
children of Yisra’ĕl came to the Wilderness of Sin, which is between Ĕlim
and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their going out of the
land of Mitsrayim.
Exod 16:2 And all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl grumbled
against Mosheh and Aharon in the wilderness.
Exod 16:3 And the children of Yisra’ĕl said to them, “If only we had died by
the hand of יהוה in the land of Mitsrayim, when we sat by the pots of meat and
when we ate bread to satisfaction! For you have brought us out into this
wilderness to put all this assembly to death with hunger.”
Exod 16:4 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “See, I am raining bread from the
heavens for you. And the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every
day, in order to try them, whether they walk in My Torah or not.
Exod 16:5 “And it shall be on the sixth day that they shall prepare what they
bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.”
Exod 16:6 And Mosheh and Aharon said to all the children of Yisra’ĕl, “At
evening you shall know that יהוה has brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim.
Exod 16:7 “And in the morning you shall see the esteem of יהוה, for He hears
your grumblings against יהוה. And what are we, that you grumble against us?”
Exod 16:8 And Mosheh said, “In that יהוה gives you meat to eat in the
evening, and in the morning bread to satisfaction, for יהוה hears your
grumblings which you make against Him. And what are we? Your grumblings
are not against us but against יהוה.”
Exod 16:9 And Mosheh said to Aharon, “Say to all the congregation of the
children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘Come near before יהוה, for He has heard your
grumblings.’ ”
Exod 16:10 And it came to be, as Aharon spoke to all the congregation of
the children of Yisra’ĕl, that they looked toward the wilderness and see, the
esteem of יהוה appeared in the cloud.
Exod 16:11 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Exod 16:12 “I have heard the grumblings of the children of Yisra’ĕl. Speak
to them, saying, ‘Between the evenings you are to eat meat, and in the
morning you are to be satisfied with bread. And you shall know that I am יהוה
your Elohim.’ ”
Exod 16:13 And it came to be that quails came up at evening and covered
the camp, and in the morning the dew lay all around the camp.
Exod 16:14 And the layer of dew went up, and see, on the surface of the
wilderness, was a small round substance, as fine as frost on the ground.
Exod 16:15 And the children of Yisra’ĕl saw, and they said to each other,
“What is it?” For they did not know what it was. And Mosheh said to them,
“It is the bread which יהוה has given you to eat.
Exod 16:16 “This is the word which יהוה has commanded: ‘Let every man
gather it according to each one’s need, an omer for each being, according to
the number of beings. Let every man take for those who are in his tent.’ ”
Exod 16:17 And the children of Yisra’ĕl did so and gathered, some more,
some less.
Exod 16:18 And they measured it by omers, and he who gathered much did
not have too much, and he who gathered little did not have too little. Each
one gathered according to his need.
Exod 16:19 And Mosheh said, “Let no one leave any of it until morning.”
Exod 16:20 And they did not listen to Mosheh, so some of them left part of it
until morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Mosheh was wroth with
them.
Exod 16:21 And they gathered it every morning, each one according to his
need. And when the sun became hot, it melted.
Exod 16:22 And it came to be, on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as
much bread, two omers for each one. And all the rulers of the congregation
came and told Mosheh.
Exod 16:23 And he said to them, “This is what יהוה has said, ‘Tomorrow is
a rest, a Sabbath set-apart to יהוה. That which you bake, bake; and that which
you cook, cook. And lay up for yourselves all that is left over, to keep it until
morning.’ ”
Exod 16:24 And they laid it up till morning, as Mosheh commanded. And it
did not stink, and no worm was in it.
Exod 16:25 And Mosheh said, “Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to יהוה,
today you do not find it in the field.
Exod 16:26 “Gather it six days, but on the seventh day, which is the Sabbath,
there is none.”
Exod 16:27 And it came to be that some of the people went out on the
seventh day to gather, but they found none.
Exod 16:28 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “How long shall you refuse to guard
My commands and My Torot?
Exod 16:29 “See, because יהוה has given you the Sabbath, therefore He is
giving you bread for two days on the sixth day. Let each one stay in his place,
do not let anyone go out of his place on the seventh day.”
Exod 16:30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Exod 16:31 And the house of Yisra’ĕl called its name Manna. And it was
like white coriander seed, and the taste of it was like thin cakes made with
honey.
Exod 16:32 And Mosheh said, “This is the word which יהוה has
commanded: ‘Fill an omer with it, to keep for your generations, so that they
see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out
of the land of Mitsrayim.’ ”
Exod 16:33 And Mosheh said to Aharon, “Take a pot and put an omer of
manna in it, and set it down before יהוה, to keep for your generations.”
Exod 16:34 As יהוה commanded Mosheh, so did Aharon set it down before
the Witness, to keep.
Exod 16:35 And the children of Yisra’ĕl ate manna forty years, until they
came to an inhabited land. They ate manna until they came to the border of
the land of Kena‛an.
Exod 16:36 And an omer is one-tenth of an ĕphah.
