14. And when the layer of tal evaporated, hinei, upon the surface of the midbar there lay thin flakes, as thin as a layer of kfor (frost) upon ha'aretz.
15. And when the Bnei Yisroel saw it, they said one to another, Mahn hu (What is it?) For they knew not mah hu (what [is] this). And Moshe said unto them, This is the lechem which Hashem hath given you to eat.
16. This is the thing which Hashem hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating [need], an omer per person, according to the number of your nefashot; take ye every man for them which are in his ohel.
17. And the Bnei Yisroel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
18. And when they did measure it by the omer, he that gathered much had nothing extra, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating [need].
19. And Moshe said, Let no ish leave of it until boker.
20. Notwithstanding, they paid heed not unto Moshe; but some left part of it until boker, and [the leftovers] bred tola'im (worms), and stank; and Moshe was angry with them.
21. And they gathered it every boker, every man according to his eating [need]; and when the shemesh grew hot, it melted.
22. And it came to pass, that on yom hashishi they gathered twice as much lechem, two omers for one man; and all the nesi'im of the Edah came and told Moshe.
23. And he said unto them, This is that which Hashem hath said, Tomorrow is a Shabbaton (day of rest), Shabbos Kodesh unto Hashem; bake that which ye will bake today, and boil that ye will boil; and that which remaineth over lay up for you for mishmeret (for keeping) until boker.
24. And they laid it up, saving it until boker, as Moshe commanded; and it did not stink, neither was there any infestation therein.
25. And Moshe said, Eat that today; for today is a Shabbos unto Hashem; today ye shall not find it in the sadeh.
26. Sheshet yamim ye shall gather it; but on the yom hashevi'i, which is Shabbos, in it there shall be none.
27. And it came to pass, that there went out some from HaAm on the yom hashevi'i to gather, and they found none.
