Exodus
Chapter 16
- And they journeyed from Elim,
and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the Wilderness of Sin,
which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month
after they departed from the land of Egypt.
- Then the whole congregation of the children
of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. (Ps. 78:18; 1 Cor. 10:10)
- And the children of Israel said to them,
“Oh, that we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat
by the pots of meat and when we ate bread to the full! For you have brought us
out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.” (Lam. 4:9)
- Then the Lord said to Moses, "Behold, I will rain
bread from heaven for you. And the people shall go out and gather a
certain quota every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in
My law or not. (Deut. 8:2; Deut. 8:16; Judges. 2:22;
John 6:31)
- "And it shall be on the sixth day that they shall
prepare what they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather
daily." (Lev. 25:21)

- And when the layer of dew lifted, there, on the
surface of the wilderness, was a small round substance, as fine as frost
on the ground. (Num. 11:7&8; Ps. 147:16; John 6:58)
- So when the children of Israel saw it, they said
to one another, "What is it?" For they did not know what it was. And
Moses said to them, "This is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat.
(Ex. 16:31; Deut. 8:16; John
6:31; 1 Cor. 10:3)
- "This is the thing which the Lord has commanded:
'Let every man gather it according to each one's need, one omer for each
person, according to the number of persons; let every man take for those who
are in his tent.'"
- And the children of Israel did so and gathered,
some more, some less.
- So when they measured it by omers, he who gathered
much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack. Every
man had gathered according to each one's need. (2 Cor. 8:15)
- And Moses said, "Let no one leave any of it till
morning."
- Notwithstanding they did not heed Moses. But
some of them left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and stank.
And Moses was angry with them. (Ex. 16:24)
- So they gathered it every morning, every man according
to his need. And when the sun became hot, it melted.
- And so it was, on the sixth day, that they gathered
twice as much bread, two omers for each one. And all the rulers of
the congregation came and told Moses.
- Then he said to them, "This is what the Lord has
said: 'Tomorrow is a Sabbath rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord. Bake
what you will bake today, and boil what you will boil; and lay up for yourselves
all that remains, to be kept until morning.'' (Gen. 2:3)
- So they laid it up till morning, as Moses commanded;
and it did not stink, nor were there any worms in it. (Ex. 16:20)
- Then Moses said, "Eat that today, for today is
a Sabbath to the Lord; today you will not find it in the field.
- "Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh
day, which is the Sabbath, there will be none."
- Now it happened that some of the people went out
on the seventh day to gather, but they found none.
- And the Lord said to Moses, "How long do you refuse
to keep My commandments and My laws? (2 Kin. 17:14)
- "See! For the Lord has given you the Sabbath;
therefore He gives you on the sixth day bread for two days. Let every
man remain 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 its name Manna.
And it was like white coriander seed, and the taste of it was like wafers
made with honey. (Ex. 16:15)
- Then Moses said, "This is the thing which the
Lord has commanded: 'Fill an omer with it, to be kept for 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.'"
- And Moses said to Aaron, "Take a pot and put an
omer of manna in it, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your generations."
(Heb. 9:4)
- As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it
up before the Testimony, to be kept.
- And the children of Israel ate manna forty years,
until they came to an inhabited land; they ate manna until they came to
the border of the land of Canaan. (Num. 33:38; Deut. 8:3;
Deut. 8:16; Joshua 5:12; John
6:58)
- Now an omer is one-tenth of an ephah.
