to bring in twofold, neither shall they gather any more daily.

And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you up out of the land of Egypt,

And in the morning ye shall see the glory of the LORD: for he hath heard your murmuring against the LORD. What are we, that ye murmur against us?

And Moses said, The LORD will give you meat to eat at even, and in the morning he will give you bread in abundance: because the LORD hath heard your murmurings, which ye have murmured against him. For what are we? Your murmuring is not against us, but against the LORD.

And Moses said unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.

And when Aaron spake thus unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, they turned toward the wilderness: and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in a cloud.

And the LORD said unto Moses:

I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. Say unto them: Ye shall eat flesh between the evenings, and be satisfied with bread in the morning; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.

And in the evening quails came up, and covered the host. And in the morning the dew was round about the host.

And when the dew was gone, behold, it lay in the wilderness round and small, like the hoarfrost of the land.

And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, This is Man: for they knew not what it was. And Moses said unto them: It is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.

Now this is the thing which the LORD commanded: Let every man gather together as much as he may eat for himself, and let him take a gomor upon every man’s head, according to the number of the souls that are in his tent.

And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, the one much, and the other little.

But when it was measured by the measure of Gomor, he that had gathered much was not found above, neither he that had gathered little was found below: but every man had gathered as much as he might eat for himself.

And Moses said unto them: Let no man leave any of these things until to morrow.

But they hearkened not unto Moses. And some of them left it until the morning: and worms grew in it, and it stank. And Moses was wroth with them.

And they gathered them together every morning, as much as every man might eat for himself. But when the sun shone hot, it melted.

And on the sixth day they gathered bread by twain, two gomor by one. And all the rulers of the congregation came in, and told Moses.

And he said unto them: This is it that the LORD hath said: To morrow is the sabbath of the holy rest of the LORD: bake that which ye will bake, and boil that which ye will boil: but that which is left over let it remain, that it may be kept until to morrow.

And they left it until the morning, as Moses commanded: and it stank not, neither was there any worm in it.

And Moses said, Eat this to day: for to day is the sabbath of the LORD: ye shall not find it to day in the field.

Six days ye shall glean: but the seventh day is the sabbath: therein shall it not be.

But on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, and found nothing.

Then said the LORD unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my statutes?

Behold, the LORD hath given you the sabbath day: therefore he giveth you bread on the sixth day of two days. Let every man therefore abide in his own, and let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.

So the people of the seventh day feasted.

And the house of Israel called it Man: and it was as coriander seed, and white, and had a savour like bread with honey.

And Moses said, This is that the LORD commanded: Fill up a gomor of it, to keep for your seed, that the bread may be seen, wherewith I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth out of the land of Egypt.

And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pitcher, and put a gomor full of man in it, and leave it before the LORD to be kept for your seed.

As the LORD commanded Moses, so let Aaron keep it there before the testimony.

And the children of Israel did eat Man forty years, until they came unto the land where they were to dwell; even unto the border of the land of Canaan did they eat Man.

And a gomor is the tenth part of an ephah.
(Exodus)
Chapter 17
The children of Israel are watered from a rock, overcome the Amalekites.

And all the congregation of the children of Israel went out of the wilderness of Sin their days’
journey, as the LORD commanded them, and pitched in Raphidim. And the people had no water to drink.

And they quarreled with Moses, and said: Pray us water, that we may drink. And Moses said unto them: Why do ye quarrel with me? Why tempt ye the LORD?

And when the people thirsted there for water, they murmured against Moses, and said: Why hast thou brought us up out of Egypt, that thou hast caused us and our children and our cattle to die of thirst?

And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, How shall I do with the people? It lacketh not far, they shall stone me yet.

And the LORD said unto him, Go before the people, and take with thee certain elders of Israel; and take thy rod in thine hand, that thou mayest smite the waters, and go.

Behold, I will stand there before thee upon a rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and water shall run out, and the people shall drink. And Moses did so before the elders of Israel.

And the place was called Massa and Meribah, because of the strife of the children of Israel, and because they had tempted the LORD, saying: Is the LORD among us, or not?

And Amalek came and fought against Israel in Raphidim.

And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us men, go forth, and fight against Amalek: to morrow I will stand upon the top of the hill, and have the rod of God in mine hand.

And Joshua did as Moses told him, to fight against Amalek. And Moses, and Aaron, and Hur, went up to the top of the hill.

And when Moses held up his hands, Israel prevailed: but when he put down his hands, Amalek prevailed.

But Moses’ hands were heavy: therefore they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat upon it. And Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on each side. So his hands remained stiff until the sun went down.

And Joshua smote Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this in a book for a memorial, and command it in the ears of Joshua: for I will cut him off from under heaven, and he shall be remembered no more.

And Moses built an altar, and called his name, The LORD Nissi.

For he said, It is a sign by the throne of the LORD, that the LORD will fight against Amalek from child to child.
(Exodus)
Chapter 18
Jethro gives Moses some good advice.

And Jethro the priest of Midian, Moses’ father in law, heard all that God had done for Moses and for Israel his people, how that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt, 2. And he took Zipora, Moses’ wife, whom he had sent back,

And her two sons; the name of the one was Gershom: for he said: I am become a sojourner in a strange land;

And the other Eliezer: for he said, The God of my father hath been my help, and hath delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.

And Jethro Moses’ brother, and his sons, and his wife, came unto him into the wilderness, unto the mountain of God, where he was encamped,

And he said unto Moses, I, Jethro thy brother in law, am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.

And Moses went out to meet him, and bowed himself to him, and kissed him. And when they had saluted one another, they went into the tabernacle.

Then Moses told his brother-in-law all that the LORD had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, and all the trouble that they had met with in the way, and that the LORD had delivered them.

And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness that the LORD had done unto Israel, in delivering them out of the hand of Egypt.

And Jethro said, Blessed be the LORD, which hath delivered you out of the hand of Egypt, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who knoweth how to deliver his people out of the hand of Egypt.

Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods, because they have magnified themselves against them.

And Jethro Moses’ attendant took burnt offerings, and offered unto God. And Aaron and all the elders of Israel came to eat bread with Moses’ servant before God.

And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat down to judge the people: and the people stood about Moses from the morning even unto
