14. When the dew that lay had gone, behold, on the surface of the wilderness was a small round thing, small as the frost on the ground.
15. When the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they didn’t know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat.
16. “This is the thing which the Lord has commanded: ‘Gather of it everyone according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, you shall take it, every man for those who are 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 who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack. They gathered every man according to his eating.
19. Moses said to them, “Let no one leave of it until the morning.”
20. Notwithstanding they didn’t listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul; and Moses was angry with them.
21. They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.
22. On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one; and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
23. He said to them, “This is that which the Lord has spoken, ‘Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord. Bake that which you want to bake, and boil that which you want to boil; and all that remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning.’”
24. They laid it up until the morning, as Moses asked, and it didn’t become foul, and there were no worms in it.
