Exodus - ch 16 v 21 - 36
- And they gathered it morning by 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 each one: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
- And he said unto them, This is that which Jehovah hath spoken, Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy sabbath unto Jehovah: bake that which ye will bake, and boil that which ye will boil; and all that 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 become foul, neither was there any worm therein.
- And Moses said, Eat that to-day; for to-day is a sabbath unto Jehovah: to-day ye shall not find it in the field.
- Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
- And it came to pass on the seventh day, that there went out some of the people to gather, and they found none.
- And Jehovah said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
- See, for that Jehovah 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.
- And Moses said, This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, Let an omerful of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread wherewith I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.
- And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omerful of manna therein, and lay it up before Jehovah, to be kept throughout your generations.
- As Jehovah commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
- And the children of Israel did eat the manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat the manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.
- Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
