Exodus:16:16-31
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 with them .
*
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 therein .
*
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 ,
in it there shall be none .
*
And it came to pass ,
that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather ,
and they found none .
*
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 .
