Exodus 16:27-36 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

27. And it came to pass on the seventh day that there went out some from the people to gather it, and they found none.

28. And Jehovah said to Moses, How long do ye refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?

29. 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.

30. And the people rested on the seventh day.

31. 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.

32. 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.

33. 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.

34. As Jehovah had commanded Moses, so Aaron deposited it before the Testimony, to be kept.

35. 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.

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