XVIἐξ Αἰλείμ, καὶ ἡλθοσαν πᾶσα συναγωγὴ υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ εἰς τὴν ἔρημον Σεῖν, ὅ ἐστιν ἀνὰ μέσον Αἰλεὶμ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Σεινά. τῇ δὲ πεντεκαιδεκάτη ἡμέρᾳ τῷ μηνὶ τῷ δευτέρῳ ἐξεληλυθότων αὐτῶν
ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου

διεγόγγυζεν πᾶσα συναγωγὴ υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ
Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρών·

καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς αὐτοὺς οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ ἀπεθάνομεν πληγέντες ὑπὸ κυρίου ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ, ὅταν ἐκαθίσαμεν ἐπὶ τῶν λεβήτων τῶν κρεῶν καὶ ἠσθίομεν ἄρτους εἰς πλησμονήν· ὅτι ἐξηγάγετε ἡμᾶς εἰς τὴν ἔρημον ταύτην, ἀποκτεῖναι πᾶσαν τὴν συναγωγὴν
ταύτην ἐν λιμῷ.

εἶπεν δὲ κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ὕω ὑμῖν ἄρτους ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἐξελεύσεται ὁ λαὸς καὶ συλλέξουσιν τὸ τῆς ἡμέραν εἰς ἡμέραν, ὅπως πειράσω αὐτοὺς εἰ πορεύσονται τῷ
νόμῳ μου ἢ οὔ·

καὶ ἔσται τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἕκτῃ καὶ ἑτοιμάσουσιν ὃ ἐὰν εἰσενέγκωσιν, καὶ ἔσται διπλοῦν ὃ ἐὰν συναγάγωσιν τὸ καθ’ ἡμέραν
εἰς ἡμέραν.

καὶ εἶπεν Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἀαρὼν πρὸς πᾶσαν συναγωγὴν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ Ἑσπέρας γνώσεσθε ὅτι κύριος ἐξήγαγεν ὑμᾶς ἐκ γῆς ¹² Αἰγύπτου,

καὶ πρωὶ ὄψεσθε τὴν δόξαν κυρίου ἐν τῷ εἰσακοῦσαι τὸν
γογγυσμὸν ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τῷ θεῷ· ἡμεῖς δὲ τί ἐσμεν ὅτι διαγογγύζετε καθ’ ἡμῶν ;

καὶ εἶπεν Μωυσῆς Ἐν τῷ διδόναι κύριοι ὑμῖν ἑσπέρας
κρέα φαγεῖν καὶ ἄρτους τὸ πρωὶ εἰς πλησμονήν, διὰ τὸ εἰσακοῦσαι κύριον τὸν γογγυσμὸν ὑμῶν ὅν ὑμεῖς διαγογγύζετε καθ’ ἡμῶν· ἡμεῖς δὲ τί ἐσμεν ; οὐ γὰρ καθ’ ἡμῶν ἐστὶν ὁ γογγυσμὸς ὑμῶν, ἀλλ’ ἢ κατὰ τοῦ θεοῦ.

εἶπεν δὲ Μωυσῆς πρὸς Ἀαρών Εἰπὸν πάσῃ συναγωγῇ
υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ Ηροσέλθατε ἐναντίον τοῦ θεοῦ· εἰσακήκοεν γὰρ ὑμῶν τὸν γογγυσμόν.

ἡνίκα δὲ ἐλάλει Ἀαρὼν πάσῃ συναγωγῇ υἶῶν
Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐπεστράφησαν εἰς τὴν ἔρημον, καὶ ἡ δόξα κυρίου ὤφθη ἐν νεφέλῃ.

καὶ ἐλάλησεν Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων

Εἰσακήκοα
τὸν γογγυσμὸν τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ· λάλησον πρὸς αὐτοὺς λέγων Τὸ ἑσπέραν ἔδεσθε κρέα, καὶ τὸ πρωὶ πλησθήσεσθε ἄρτων· καὶ ὅτι ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν.

ἐγένετο δὲ ἑσπέρα, κα
ὀρτυγομήτρα ὀρτυγομήτρα καὶ ἐκάλυψεν τὴν παρεμβολήν· τὸ πρωὶ ἐγένετο καταπαυομένης τῆς δρόσου κύκλῳ τῆς παρεμβολῆς·

καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐπὶ
πρόσωπον τῆς ἐρήμου λεπτὸν ὡσεὶ κόριον λευκόν, ὡσεὶ πάγος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.

ἰδόντες δὲ αὐτὸ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ εἶπαν ἕτερος τῷ ἑτέρῳ
Τί ἐστιν τοῦτο; οὐ γὰρ ᾔδε’ ἴσαν τί ἦν. εἶπεν δὲ Μωυσῆς αὐτοῖς οὗτος ὁ ἄρτος ὃν ἕδωκεν κύριος ὑμῖν Φαγεῖν.

τοῦτο τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ συνέταξεν
κύριος Συναγάγετε ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ ἕκαστος εἰς τοὺς καθήκοντας, γόμορ κατὰ κεφαλὴν κατὰ ἀριθμὸν ψυχῶν ὑμῶν· ἕκαστος σὺν τοῖς συσκη- νίοις ὑμῶν συλλέξατε.

ἐποίησαν δὲ οὕτως οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ
συνέλεξαν ὁ τὸ πολὺ καὶ ὁ τὸ ἔλαττον.

καὶ μετρήσαντες τῷ γόμορ,
οὐκ ἐπλεόνασεν ὁ τὸ πολύ, καὶ ὁ τὸ ἔλαττον οὐκ ἠλαττόνησεν· ἕκαστος εἰς τοὺς καθήκοντας παρ’ ἑαυτῷ συνέλεξαν.

εἶπεν δὲ Μωυσῆς
πρὸς αὐτούς Μηδεὶς καταλιπέτω ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ πρωί.

καὶ οὐκ
εἰσήκουσαν Μωυσῆ, ἀλλὰ κατέλιπόν τινες ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ πρωί· καὶ ἐξέζεσεν σκώληκας καὶ ἐπώζεσεν· καὶ ἐπικράνθη ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς ³⁴
Μωυσῆς.

καὶ συνέλεξαν αὐτὸ πρωί· ἡνίκα δὲ διεθέρμαινεν ὁ ἥλιος, ⁵
ἐτήκετο.

ἐγένετο δὲ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἕκτη συνέλεξαν τὰ δέοντα διπλᾶ, δύο γόμορ τῷ ἐνί· εἰσήλθοσαν δὲ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες τῆς συναγωγῆς καὶ
ἀνήγγειλαν Μωσεῖ.

εἶπεν δὲ κύριος πρὸς αὐτούς Oὐ τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ ἐλάλησεν κύριος; σάββατα ἀνάπαυσις ἁγία τῷ κυρίῳ αὔριον· ὅσα ἐὰν πέσσητε πέσσετε, καὶ ὅσα ἐὰν ἕψητε ἕψετε · καὶ πᾶν το
πλεονάζον καταλίπετε αὐτὸ εἰς ἀποθήκην εἰς τὸ πρωί.

καὶ κατελίποσαν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ πρωί, καθὼς συνέταξεν αὐτοῖς Μωυσῆς·
καὶ οὐκ ἐπώζεσεν, οὐδὲ σκώληξ ἐγένετο ἐν αὐτοῖς.

εἶπε Μωυσῆς Φάγετε σήμερον· ἔστιν γὰρ σάββατα σήμερον τῷ κυρίῳ,
οὐχ εὑρεθήσεται ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ.

ἓξ ἡμέρας συλλέξετε· τῇ δὲ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδομῃ σάββατα, ὅτι οὐκ ἔσται ἐν αὐτῇ.

ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ ἐξήλθοσάν τινες ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ συλλέξαι, καὶ οὐχ εὗρον.

εἶπεν δὲ κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν Ἕως τίνος οὐ βούλεσθε εἰσακούειν
τὰς ἐντολάς μου καὶ τὸν νόμον μου;

ἴδετε, ὁ γὰρ κύριος ἔδωκεν ὑμῖν τὴν ἡμέραν ταύτην · διὰ τοῦτο αὐτὸς ἐẂκεν ὑμῖν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆ ἕκτῃ ἄρτους δύο ἡμερῶν · καθήσεσθε ἕκαστος εἰς τοὺς οἴκους ὑμῶν,
μηδεὶς ἐκπορευέσθω ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ.

καὶ
ἐσαββάτισεν ὁ λαὸς τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ.

καὶ ἐπωνόμασαν αὐτὸ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ μάν· ἦν δὲ ὡς σπέρμα κορίου λευκόν,
τὸ δὲ γεῦμα αὐτοῦ ὡς ἐνκρὶς ἐν μέλιτι.

εἶπεν δὲ Μωυσῆς τοῦτο τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ συνέταξεν Κύριος Πλήσατε τὸ γόμορ τοῦ μὰν εἰς ἀποθήκην εἰς τὰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν, ἵνα ἴδωσιν τὸν ἄρτον ὃν ἐφάγετε ὑμεῖς ἐν τῇ
ἐρήμῳ ὡς ἐξήγαγεν ὑμᾶς κύριος ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου.

καὶ εἰπεν Μωσῆς πρὸς Λάβε Λάβε στάμνον χρυσοῦν ἕνα καὶ ἐμβάλετε εἰς αὐτὸν πλῆρες τὸ γόμορ μάν, καὶ ἀποθήσεις αὐτὸ ἐναντίον τοῦ θεοῦ εἰς διατήρησιν
εἰς τὰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν,

ὃν τρόπον συνέταξεν κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ. καὶ ἀπέθηκεν Ἀαρὼν ἐναντίον τοῦ θεοῦ εἰς διατήρησιν. ⁶⁷

οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἔφαγον τὸ μὰν ἔτη τεσσεράκοντα· ἕως ἦλθον
εἰς τὴν οἰκουμένην ἐΦάγοσαν τὸ μάν, ἕως παρqένοντο εἰς μέρος τῆς Φοινίκης.

τὸ δὲ γόμορ τὸ δέκατον τῶν τριῶν μέτρων ἦν.

Exodus Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 16 focus

They took their journey 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 their departing out of the land of Egypt .

The whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;

and the children of Israel said to them, We wish that we had died by the hand of Yahweh in the land of Egypt , when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we ate our fill of bread, for you have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.

Then said Yahweh to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from the sky for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.

It shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall prepare that which they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.

Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel , At evening, then you shall know that Yahweh has brought you out from the land of Egypt ;

and in the morning, then you shall see the glory of Yahweh; because he hears your murmurings against Yahweh. Who are we, that you murmur against us?

Moses said, Now Yahweh shall give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you; because Yahweh hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Yahweh.

Moses said to Aaron, Tell all the congregation of the children of Israel , Come near before Yahweh, for he has heard your murmurings.

It happened, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel , that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of Yahweh appeared in the cloud.

Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel . Speak to them, saying, At evening you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread: and you shall know that I am Yahweh your God.

It happened at evening that quail came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay around the camp.

When the dew that lay had gone, behold, on the surface of the wilderness was a small round thing, small as the hoar-frost on the ground.

When the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, What is it? For they didn’t know what it was. Moses said to them, It is the bread which Yahweh has given you to eat.

This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded: Gather of it everyone according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, shall you take it, every man for those who are in his tent.

The children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less.

When they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack. They gathered every man according to his eating.

Moses said to them, Let no one leave of it until the morning.

Notwithstanding they didn’t listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul: and Moses was angry with them.

They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.

It happened 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.

He said to them, This is that which Yahweh has spoken, Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to Yahweh. Bake that which you want to bake, and boil that which you want to boil; and all that remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning.

They laid it up until the morning, as Moses asked, and it didn’t become foul, neither was there any worm in it.

Moses said, Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to Yahweh. Today you shall not find it in the field.

Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none.

It happened on the seventh day, that some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.

Yahweh said to Moses, How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?

Behold, because Yahweh has given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days. Everyone stay in his place. Let no one go out of his place on the seventh day.

So the people rested on the seventh day.

The house of Israel called the name of it Manna, and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey.

Moses said, This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded, Let an omer-full of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt .

Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer-full of manna in it, and lay it up before Yahweh, to be kept throughout your generations.

As Yahweh commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

The children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.

Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
