16:7. And in the morning you shall see the glory of the Lord: for he
hath heard your murmuring against the Lord: but as for us, what are we,
that you mutter against us?

16:8. And Moses said: In the evening the Lord will give you flesh to
eat, and in the morning bread to the full: for he hath heard your
murmurings, with which you have murmured against him, for what are we?
your murmuring is not against us, but against the Lord.

16:9. Moses also said to Aaron: Say to the whole congregation of the
children of Israel: Come before the Lord; for he hath heard your
murmuring.

16:10. And when Aaron spoke to all the assembly of the children of
Israel, they looked towards the wilderness; and behold the glory of the
Lord appeared in a cloud.

16:11. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

16:12. I have heard the murmuring of the children of Israel, say to
them: In the evening you shall eat flesh, and in the morning you shall
have your fill of bread; and you shall know that I am the Lord your God.

16:13. So it came to pass in the evening, that quails coming up, covered
the camp: and in the morning a dew lay round about the camp.

16:14. And when it had covered the face of the earth, it appeared in the
wilderness small, and as it were beaten with a pestle, like unto the
hoar frost on the ground.

16:15. And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another:
Manhu! which signifieth: What is this! for they knew not what it was.
And Moses said to them: This is the bread which the Lord hath given you
to eat.

16:16. This is the word that the Lord hath commanded: Let every one
gather of it as much as is enough to eat; a gomor for every man,
according to the number of your souls that dwell in a tent, so shall you
take of it.

16:17. And the children of Israel did so: and they gathered, one more,
another less.

16:18: And they measured by the measure of a gomor: neither had he more
that had gathered more; nor did he find less that had provided less: but
every one had gathered, according to what they were able to eat.

16:19. And Moses said to them: Let no man leave thereof till the
morning.

16:20. And they hearkened not to him, but some of them left until the
morning, and it began to be full of worms, and it putrified, and Moses
was angry with them.

16:21. Now every one of them gathered in the morning, as much as might
suffice to eat: and after the sun grew hot, it melted.

16:22. But on the sixth day they gathered twice as much, that is, two
gomors every man: and all the rulers of the multitude came, and told
Moses.

16:23. And he said to them: This is what the Lord hath spoken: To morrow
is the rest of the sabbath sanctified to the Lord. Whatsoever work is to
be done, do it; and the meats that are to be dressed, dress them; and
whatsoever shall remain, lay it up until the morning.

16:24. And they did so as Moses had commanded, and it did not putrify,
neither was there worm found in it.

16:25. And Moses said: Eat it to day, because it is the sabbath of the
Lord: to day it shall not be found in the field.

16:26. Gather it six days; but on the seventh day is the sabbath of the
Lord, therefore it shall not be found.

16:27. And the seventh day came; and some of the people going forth to
gather, found none.

16:28. And the Lord said to Moses: How long will you refuse to keep my
commandments, and my law?
