9. Then Moses said to Aaron, “Say to all the congregation of the children of Israel, ‘Come near before the Lord, for He has heard your murmurings.’ ”
10. So as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, they looked toward the wilderness, and indeed, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud.
11. Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
12. “I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, ‘In the evening you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. And you shall know that I am the Lord your God.’ ”
13. So in the evening the quail came up and covered the camp, and in the morning a layer of dew was surrounding the camp.
14. When the layer of dew evaporated, on the surface of the wilderness there lay a small flaky thing, as fine as the frost on the ground.
15. When the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was.And Moses said to them, “This is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat.
16. This is what the Lord has commanded, ‘Every man is to gather of it according to what he will eat, an omer for every man, according to the number of your people. Every man should take for them for whoever lives in his tent.’ ”
17. The children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
18. When they measured it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing left over, and he that gathered little had no lack. They gathered every man according what he could eat.
