New Testament

Exodus 16:30-36 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

30. And the people kept the Sabbath on the seventh day.

31. And the house of Israel called its name 'Manna.' It was like white coriander seed, and its taste was like wheat flour with honey.

32. Then Moses said: "This is the word that the Lord has instructed: Fill an omer of it, and let it be kept for future generations hereafter, so that they may know the bread, with which I nourished you in the wilderness, when you had been led away from the land of Egypt."

33. And Moses said to Aaron, "Take one vessel, and put manna into it, as much as an omer is able to hold. And store it in the sight of the Lord, to keep for your generations,

34. just as the Lord instructed Moses." And so, Aaron placed it in the tabernacle, in reserve.

35. Now the sons of Israel ate manna for forty years, until they arrived in a habitable land. With this food they were nourished, even until they touched the borders of the land of Canaan.

36. Now an omer is a tenth part of an ephah.
