Exodus 16:5-13 God's Word Translation (GW)

5. But on the sixth day when they prepare what they bring home, it should be twice as much as they gather on other days.”

6. So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, “In the evening you will know that it was the Lord who brought you out of Egypt.

7. In the morning you will see the glory of the Lord, because he has heard you complaining about him. Why are you complaining about us?”

8. Moses also said, “The Lord will give you meat to eat in the evening and all the food you want in the morning. The Lord has heard you complaining about him. Who are we? You’re not complaining about us but about the Lord.”

9. Moses said to Aaron, “Tell the whole community of Israelites, ‘Come into the Lord’s presence. He has heard you complaining.’ ”

10. While Aaron was speaking to the whole community of Israelites, they looked toward the desert. Suddenly, they saw the glory of the Lord in the ⌊column of⌋ smoke.

11. The Lord said to Moses,

12. “I’ve heard the Israelites complaining. Tell them, ‘At dusk you will eat meat, and in the morning you will eat all the food you want. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God.’ ”

13. That evening quails came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.
