Exodus - ch 16 v 21 - 36
- And they took it up morning by morning, every man as he had need: and when the sun was high it was gone.
- And on the sixth day they took up twice as much of the bread, two omers for every person: and all the rulers of the people gave Moses word of it.
- And he said, This is what the Lord has said, Tomorrow is a day of rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord: what has to be cooked may be cooked; and what is over, put on one side to be kept till the morning.
- And they kept it till the morning as Moses had said: and no smell came from it, and it had no worms.
- And Moses said, Make your meal today of what you have, for this day is a Sabbath to the Lord: today you will not get any in the fields.
- For six days you will get it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will not be any.
- But still on the seventh day some of the people went out to get it, and there was not any.
- And the Lord said to Moses, How long will you go against my orders and my laws?
- See, because the Lord has given you the Sabbath, he gives you on the sixth day bread enough for two days; let every man keep where he is; let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
- So the people took their rest on the seventh day.
- And this bread was named manna by Israel: it was white, like a grain seed, and its taste was like cakes made with honey.
- And Moses said, This is the order which the Lord has given: Let one omer of it be kept for future generations, so that they may see the bread which I gave you for your food in the waste land, when I took you out from the land of Egypt.
- And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot and put one omer of manna in it, and put it away before the Lord, to be kept for future generations.
- So Aaron put it away in front of the holy chest to be kept, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.
- And the children of Israel had manna for their food for forty years, till they came to a land with people in it, till they came to the edge of the land of Canaan.
- Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
