Exodus 16:4

NASB

 

Exo 16:4
& Then the LORD said to Moses, "Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may test them, whether or not they will walk in My (Or {law}) instruction.
Exo 16:5
& ~"On the sixth day, when they prepare what they bring in, it will be twice as much as they gather daily."
Exo 16:6
& So Moses and Aaron said to all the sons of Israel, "At evening you will know that the LORD has brought you out of the land of Egypt;
Exo 16:7
& and in the morning you will see the glory of the LORD, for He hears your grumblings against the LORD; and what are we, that you grumble against us?"
Exo 16:8
& Moses said, "{This will happen} when the LORD gives you meat to eat in the evening, and bread to the full in the morning; for the LORD hears your grumblings which you grumble against Him. And what are we? Your grumblings are not against us but against the LORD."
Exo 16:9
& Then Moses said to Aaron, "Say to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, `Come near before the LORD, for He has heard your grumblings."'
Exo 16:10
& It came about as Aaron spoke to 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.
Exo 16:11
& And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Exo 16:12
& "I have heard the grumblings of the sons of Israel; speak to them, saying, `At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread; and you shall know that I am the LORD your God."'
Exo 16:13
& So it came about at evening that the quails came up and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.
Exo 16:14
& When the layer of dew evaporated, behold, on the surface of the wilderness there was a fine flake-like thing, fine as the frost on the ground.
Exo 16:15
& When the sons of Israel saw {it,} they said to one another, "What is it?" For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, "It is the bread which the LORD has given you to eat.
Exo 16:16
& ~"This is what the LORD has commanded, `Gather of it every man as much as he should eat; you shall take an omer apiece according to the number of persons each of you has in his tent."'
Exo 16:17
& The sons of Israel did so, and {some} gathered much and {some} little.
Exo 16:18
& When they measured it with an omer, he who had gathered much had no excess, and he who had gathered little had no lack; every man gathered as much as he should eat.
Exo 16:19
& Moses said to them, "Let no man leave any of it until morning."
Exo 16:20
& But they did not listen to Moses, and some left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and became foul; and Moses was angry with them.
Exo 16:21
& They gathered it morning by morning, every man as much as he should eat; but when the sun grew hot, it would melt.
