rsv Exodus:16:16-35
rsv@Exodus:16:16 @ This is what the LORD has commanded: `Gather of it, every man of you, as much as he can eat; you shall take an omer apiece, according to the number of the persons whom each of you has in his tent.'"
rsv@Exodus:16:17 @ And the people of Israel did so; they gathered, some more, some less.
rsv@Exodus:16:18 @ But when they measured it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; each gathered according to what he could eat.
rsv@Exodus:16:19 @ And Moses said to them, "Let no man leave any of it till the morning."
rsv@Exodus:16:20 @ But they did not listen to Moses; some left part of it till the morning, and it bred worms and became foul; and Moses was angry with them.
rsv@Exodus:16:21 @ Morning by morning they gathered it, each as much as he could eat; but when the sun grew hot, it melted.
rsv@Exodus:16:22 @ On the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers apiece; and when all the leaders of the congregation came and told Moses,
rsv@Exodus:16:23 @ he said to them, "This is what the LORD has commanded: `Tomorrow is a day of solemn rest, a holy sabbath to the LORD; bake what you will bake and boil what you will boil, and all that is left over lay by to be kept till the morning.'"
rsv@Exodus:16:24 @ So they laid it by till the morning, as Moses bade them; and it did not become foul, and there were no worms in it.
rsv@Exodus:16:25 @ Moses said, "Eat it today, for today is a sabbath to the LORD; today you will not find it in the field.
rsv@Exodus:16:26 @ Six days you shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is a sabbath, there will be none."
rsv@Exodus:16:27 @ On the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.
rsv@Exodus:16:28 @ And the LORD said to Moses, "How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?
rsv@Exodus:16:29 @ See! The LORD has given you the sabbath, therefore on the sixth day he gives you bread for two days; remain every man of you in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day."
rsv@Exodus:16:30 @ So the people rested on the seventh day.
rsv@Exodus:16:31 @ Now the house of Israel called its name manna; it was like coriander seed, white, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
rsv@Exodus:16:32 @ And Moses said, "This is what the LORD has commanded: `Let an omer of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.'"
rsv@Exodus:16:33 @ And Moses said to Aaron, "Take a jar, and put an omer of manna in it, and place it before the LORD, to be kept throughout your generations."
rsv@Exodus:16:34 @ As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron placed it before the testimony, to be kept.
rsv@Exodus:16:35 @ And the people of Israel ate the manna forty years, till they came to a habitable land; they ate the manna, till they came to the border of the land of Canaan.
