Quail and Manna Provided

13

And it cometh to pass in the evening, that the quail cometh up, and covereth the camp, and in the morning there hath been the lying of dew round about the camp,

14

and the lying of the dew goeth up, and lo, on the face of the wilderness a thin, bare thing, thin as hoar-frost on the earth.

15

And the sons of Israel see, and say one unto another, `What is it?' for they have not known what it is ; and Moses saith unto them, `It is the bread which Jehovah hath given to you for food.

16

`This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded: Gather of it each according to his eating, an omer for a poll; and the number of your persons, take ye each for those in his tent.'

17

And the sons of Israel do so, and they gather, he who is gathering much, and he who is gathering little;

18

and they measure with an omer, and he who is gathering much hath nothing over, and he who is gathering little hath no lack, each according to his eating they have gathered.

19

And Moses saith unto them, `Let no man leave of it till morning;'

20

and they have not hearkened unto Moses, and some of them do leave of it till morning, and it bringeth up worms and stinketh; and Moses is wroth with them.

21

And they gather it morning by morning, each according to his eating; when the sun hath been warm, then it hath melted.
