New Testament

Exodus 16:26-36 Modern English Version (MEV)

26. Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will be none.”

27. It happened that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, but they found nothing.

28. Then the Lord said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep My commandments and My instructions?

29. See, the Lord has given you the Sabbath; therefore He gives you bread for two days on the sixth day. Every man remain in his place. Let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.”

30. So the people rested on the seventh day.

31. The house of Israel named it manna, and it was like coriander seed and was white, and its taste was like wafers made with honey.

32. Then Moses said, “This is what the Lord has commanded, ‘Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations to come, so that they may see the bread that I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.’ ”

33. Moses said to Aaron, “Take a pot and put an omer full of manna in it, and place it before the Lord, to be kept for generations to come.”

34. As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron placed it before the testimony, to be kept.

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

36. Now an omer is one-tenth of an ephah.
