* And they pulled out from Elim And all the congregation of the sons of Israel came into the Wilderness of Sin , which is between Elim and Sinai , on the fifteenth day of the second month after their going out from the land of Egypt . * And all the congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness . * And the sons of Israel said to them , Would that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt , in our sitting by the fleshpots , in our eating bread to satisfaction . For you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill all this assembly with hunger . * And Jehovah said to Moses , Behold , I AM ! Bread will rain from the heavens for you . And the people shall go out and gather the matter of a day in its day , so that I may test them , whether they will walk in My law or not . * And it shall be on the sixth day they shall prepare what they bring in . And it shall be double what they gather day by day . * And Moses and Aaron said to all the sons of Israel , At evening . you shall know that Jehovah has brought you from the land of Egypt ; * and in the morning you shall see the glory of Jehovah , in His hearing your murmurings against Jehovah . And we , what are we that you murmur against us ? * And Moses said , When Jehovah gives you flesh to eat in the evening , and bread in the morning , to satisfaction ; when Jehovah hears your murmurings which you are murmuring against Him , you will see . And what are we ? Your murmurings are not against us , but against Jehovah . * And Moses spoke to Aaron , Say to all the congregation of the sons of Israel , Come near before Jehovah ; for He has heard your murmurings . * And it happened , as Aaron was speaking to all the congregation of the sons of Israel , they turned toward the wilderness . And , behold ! The glory of Jehovah appeared in the cloud ! * And Jehovah spoke to Moses , saying , * I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel . Speak to them , saying , Between the evenings you shall eat flesh ; and in the morning you shall be satisfied with bread ; and you shall know that I am Jehovah your God . * And it happened in the evening : the quail came up and covered the camp . And in the morning a layer of dew was around the camp . * And the layer of dew went up , and , behold , something small was on the face of the wilderness , scalelike , small like the hoarfrost on the earth . * And the sons of Israel looked . And they said , each one to his brother , What is that ? For they did not know what it was . And Moses said to them , That is the bread which Jehovah has given to you for food . * This is the thing which Jehovah commanded . Gather from it , each one according to the mouth of his eating ; an omer for a head . By the number of your souls you shall take for each man who is in your tent . * And so the sons of Israel did . And they gathered ; the one gathering much and the one gathering little . * And they measured with an omer . And the one gathering much did not have too much . And the one gathering little did not have any need . Each one gathered according to the mouth of his eating . * And Moses said to them , Do not let anyone leave from it until morning . * And they did not listen to Moses . And some left from it until morning ; and it became rotten with maggots , and stunk . And Moses was angry against them . * And they gathered it in the morning , each one in the morning according to the mouth of his eating . And it melted in the heat of the sun . * And it came about on the sixth day , they gathered double bread , two omers for one . And all the leaders of the congregation came and reported to Moses . * And he said to them , That is what Jehovah said , Tomorrow is a rest , a holy sabbath to Jehovah . What you will bake , bake . And boil what you will boil . And lay up for yourselves all that is left over , to keep it until the morning . * And they laid it up until the morning , as Moses commanded . And it did not stink and no maggot was in it . * And Moses said , Eat it today , for today is a sabbath to Jehovah . Today you will not find it in the field . * You shall gather it six days , and on the seventh is a sabbath ; in it none shall be found . * And it happened on the seventh day , some of the people went out to gather , and did not find any . * And Jehovah said to Moses , Until when do you refuse to keep My commandments and My laws ? * Behold ! Because Jehovah has given the sabbath to you , therefore He is giving to you two days of bread on the sixth day . Each one of you remain in his place . Do not let anyone go out from his place on the seventh day . * And the people rested on the seventh day . * And the house of Israel called its name , Manna . And it was like the seed of coriander , white ; and its taste like cakes with honey . * And Moses said , This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded , Fill an omer from it , to keep for your generations , so that they may see the bread which I caused you to eat in the wilderness , as I brought you out from the land of Egypt . * And Moses said to Aaron , Take a pitcher and put manna there . the fullness of an omer , and lay it up before Jehovah , to keep for your generations . * Even as Jehovah commanded Moses , Aaron laid it up before the Testimony , to keep it . * And the sons of Israel ate the manna forty years , until their coming into an inhabited land . They ate the manna until their coming to the border of the land of Canaan . * And the omer was the tenth of an ephah . * And all the congregation of the sons of Israel pulled up stakes from the Wilderness of Sin , according to their journeys , by the mouth of Jehovah . And they camped in Rephidim . And there was no water for the drinking of the people . * And the people wrangled with Moses , and said , Give us water that we may drink . And Moses said to them , Why do you wrangle with me ? Why do you tempt Jehovah ? * And the people thirsted there for water , and the people murmured against Moses , and said , Why , then , have you caused us to go up from Egypt , to kill me and my sons and my livestock with thirst ? * And Moses cried to Jehovah , saying , What shall I do to this people ? Yet a little and they will stone me . * And Jehovah said to Moses , Pass on in front of the people , and take with you some of the elders of Israel And take in your hand your staff with which you smote the River , and go . * Behold , I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb . And you shall smite the rock , and water will come out of it ; and the people will drink . And Moses did so before the eyes of the elders of Israel . * And one called the name of the place , Massah , and , Meribah because of the wrangling of the sons of Israel , and because of their testing of Jehovah , saying , Is Jehovah in our midst , or not ? * And Amalek came and fought against Israel in Rephidim . * And Moses said to Joshua , Choose men for us , and go fight against Amalek . Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill , and the staff of God in my hand . * And Joshua did as Moses had said to him , to fight against Amalek And Moses , Aaron and Hur went up to the top of the hill . * And so it was that when Moses lifted his hand , Israel prevailed . And when he rested his hand , Amalek conquered . * And the hands of Moses became heavy . And they took a stone and put it under him . And he sat on it . And Aaron and Hur held up his hands , one from this and one from that side . And his hands were steady until the going of the sun . * And Joshua defeated Amalek and his people by the mouth of the sword . * And Jehovah said to Moses , Write this , a memorial in a book , and set it in the ears of Joshua , that I will utterly wipe away the remembrance of Amalek under the heavens . * And Moses built an altar . And he called its name , Jehovah My Banner . * And he said , A hand is on the throne of Jehovah ; war is to Jehovah with Amalek from generation to generation . * And Jethro the priest of Midian , the father-in-law of Moses , heard all that which God had done for Moses and for His people Israel , that Jehovah had caused Israel to go out from Egypt .
