Exodus 16 Interlinear

and the whole congregation of the children of israel murmured against moses and aaron in the wilderness

and the children of israel said unto them would to god we had died by the hand of the lord in the land of egypt when we sat by the flesh pots and when we did eat bread to the full for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger

then said the lord unto moses behold i will rain bread from heaven for you and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day that i may prove them whether they will walk in my law

and it shall come to pass that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily

and moses and aaron said unto all the children of israel at even then ye shall know that the lord hath brought you out from the land of egypt

and in the morning then ye shall see the glory of the lord for that he heareth your murmurings against the lord and what are we that ye murmur

and moses said this shall be when the lord shall give you in the evening flesh to eat and in the morning bread to the full for that the lord heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him and what are we your murmurings are not against us but against the lord

and moses spake unto aaron say unto all the congregation of the children of israel come near before the lord for he hath heard your murmurings

and it came to pass as aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of israel that they looked toward the wilderness and behold the glory of the lord appeared in the cloud

and the lord spake unto moses saying

i have heard the murmurings of the children of israel speak unto them saying at even ye shall eat flesh and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread and ye shall know that i am the lord your god

and it came to pass that at even the quails came up and covered the camp and in the morning the dew lay round about the host

and when the dew that lay was gone up behold upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing as small as the hoar frost on the ground

and when the children of israel saw it they said one to another it is manna for they wist not what it was and moses said unto them this is the bread which the lord hath given you to eat

this is the thing which the lord hath commanded gather of it every man according to his eating an omer for every man according to the number of your persons take ye every man for them which are in his tents

and the children of israel did so and gathered some more some less

and when they did mete it with an omer he that gathered much had nothing over and he that gathered little had no lack they gathered every man according to his eating

and moses said let no man leave of it till the morning

notwithstanding they hearkened not unto moses but some of them left of it until the morning and it bred worms and stank and moses was wroth

and they gathered it every morning every man according to his eating and when the sun waxed hot it melted

and it came to pass that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread two omers for one man and all the rulers of the congregation came and told moses

and he said unto them this is that which the lord hath said to morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the lord bake that which ye will bake to day and seethe that ye will seethe and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning

and they laid it up till the morning as moses bade and it did not stink neither was there any worm

and moses said eat that to day for to day is a sabbath unto the lord to day ye shall not find it in the field

six days ye shall gather it but on the seventh day which is the sabbath

and it came to pass that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather and they found

and the lord said unto moses how long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws

see for that the lord hath given you the sabbath therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days abide ye every man in his place let no man go out of his place on the seventh day

so the people rested on the seventh day

and the house of israel called the name thereof manna and it was like coriander seed white and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey

and moses said this is the thing which the lord commandeth fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations that they may see the bread wherewith i have fed you in the wilderness when i brought you forth from the land of egypt

and moses said unto aaron take a pot and put an omer full of manna therein and lay it up before the lord to be kept for your generations

as the lord commanded moses so aaron laid it up before the testimony to be kept

and the children of israel did eat manna forty years until they came to a land inhabited they did eat manna until they came unto the borders of the land of canaan

now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah
