New Testament

Exodus 16:15-20 God's Word Translation (GW)

15. When the Israelites saw it, they asked each other, “What is this?” because they didn’t know what it was.Moses said to them, “It’s the food the Lord has given you to eat.

16. This is what the Lord has commanded: Each of you should gather as much as you can eat. Take two quarts for each person in your tent.”

17. So that is what the Israelites did. Some gathered more, some less.

18. They measured it into two-quart containers. Those who had gathered more didn’t have too much. Those who had gathered less didn’t have too little. They gathered as much as they could eat.

19. Then Moses said to them, “No one may keep any of it until morning.”

20. But some of them didn’t listen to Moses. They kept part of it until morning, and it was full of worms and smelled bad. So Moses was angry with them.
