Exodus - ch 16 v 21 - 36
- And they gathered it every morning, every man as much as he could eat; and when the sun became hot, it melted.
- And it came to pass on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one; and all the princes of the assembly came and told Moses.
- And he said to them, This is what Jehovah has said: To-morrow is the rest, the holy sabbath, of Jehovah: bake what ye will bake, and cook what ye will cook; and lay up for yourselves all that remains over, to be kept for the morning.
- And they laid it up for the morning, as Moses had commanded; and it did not stink, neither was there any worm in it.
- And Moses said, Eat it to-day; for to-day is sabbath to Jehovah: to-day ye shall not find it in the field.

- And it came to pass on the seventh day that there went out some from the people to gather it, and they found none.
- And Jehovah said to Moses, How long do ye refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?
- See, for Jehovah hath given you the sabbath; therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread for two days. Abide every man in his place: let no man go from his place on the seventh day.
- And the people rested on the seventh day.
- And the house of Israel called its name Manna; and it was like coriander-seed, white; and the taste of it was like cake with honey.
- And Moses said, This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded: Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread that I gave you to eat in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.
- And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot, and put in it an omer full of manna, and deposit it before Jehovah, to be kept for your generations.
- As Jehovah had commanded Moses, so Aaron deposited it before the Testimony, to be kept.
- And the children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came into an inhabited land: they ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.
