On the fifteenth ... day of the second month after they had left the land of Egypt , the whole congregation ... of Israel set out from Elim and came to the Desert of Sin , which is between Elim ... and Sinai.
| LXX |
(And there) in the desert (they all) ... ... ... grumbled against Moses ... and Aaron.
| LXX |
“ If only ... we had died by the LORD’s hand in the land of Egypt ! ” (they said) ... ... .... “ There we sat by pots of meat and ate our fill of bread , but you have brought us into this desert - to starve this whole assembly to death ! ”
| LXX |
Then the LORD said to Moses , “ Behold , I will rain down bread from heaven Each day ... the people are to go out and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test whether or not they will follow My instructions.
| LXX |
Then on the sixth day , when they prepare - what they bring in , it will be twice as much as they gather on the other days. ” ...
| LXX |
So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites ... , “ This evening you will know that it was the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt ,
| LXX |
and in the morning you will see - the LORD’s glory , because He has heard - your grumbling against Him. ... For who are we that you should grumble against us ? ”
| LXX |
And Moses added , “ The LORD will give meat to eat this evening and bread to fill you in the morning , for He - has heard your grumbling - - against Him. Who are we ? Your grumblings are not against us ... but against the LORD. ”
| LXX |
Then Moses said to ... Aaron , “ Tell ... the whole congregation ... of Israel , ‘ Come before the LORD , for He has heard - your grumbling. ’”
| LXX |
And as Aaron was speaking to the whole congregation ... of Israel , they looked toward the desert , and there in a cloud the glory of the LORD appeared.
| LXX |
Then the LORD said to Moses , ...
| LXX |
“ I have heard - the grumbling vvv of the Israelites. Tell them , ... ... ‘ At twilight you will eat meat , and in the morning you {will} be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God. ’”
| LXX |
That evening quail came and covered - the camp , and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.
| LXX |
When the layer of dew had evaporated , there were thin flakes on the desert floor , as fine as frost on the ground.
| LXX |
When the Israelites ... saw it , they asked one ... another , “ What is it ? ” For they did not know what it was. So Moses told them , “ It is the bread that the LORD has given to eat.
| LXX |
This ... is what the LORD has commanded : ‘ Each one is to gather as much as he needs. You may take an omer for each ... person ... - in your tent. ’”
| LXX |
So the Israelites ... did this. Some gathered more , and some less.
| LXX |
When they measured it by the omer , he who gathered much had no excess , and he who gathered little had no shortfall. Each one gathered as much as he needed to eat.
| LXX |
Then Moses said to them , “ No one may keep any of it until morning. ”
| LXX |
But they did not listen to Moses ; some people left part of it until morning , and it became infested with maggots and began to smell. So Moses was angry with them.
| LXX |
Every morning ... - each one gathered as much as was needed , and when the sun grew hot , it melted away.
| LXX |
- On the sixth day , they gathered twice as much food — two omers per person — and all the leaders of the congregation came and reported this to Moses.
| LXX |
He told them , ... “ This is what the LORD has said : ‘ Tomorrow (is to be) a day of complete rest , a holy Sabbath to the LORD. So bake what you want to bake , and boil what you want to boil. Then set aside - whatever remains and keep it until morning. ’”
| LXX |
So they set it aside - until morning as Moses had commanded , and it did not smell (or) contain any maggots.
| LXX |
“ Eat it today ... , ” Moses said , “ because today is a Sabbath to the LORD. Today you will not find anything in the field.
| LXX |
For six days you may gather , but on the seventh day , the Sabbath , it will not be (there) .... ”
| LXX |
Yet on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather , but they did not find anything.
| LXX |
Then the LORD said to Moses , “ How long ... will you refuse to keep My commandments and instructions ?
| LXX |
Understand that the LORD has given the Sabbath ; that is why ... on the sixth day He will give bread for two days. On the seventh day , everyone must stay where he is ; no one may leave his place. ”
| LXX |
So the people rested on the seventh day.
| LXX |
Now the house of Israel - called (the bread) ... manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.
| LXX |
Moses said , “ This ... is what the LORD ... has commanded : ‘ Keep an omer of (manna) for the generations to come , so that they may see - the bread - I fed - you in the wilderness when I brought you - out of the land of Egypt. ’”
| LXX |
So Moses ... told Aaron , “ Take a jar and fill it ... ... with an omer of manna. Then place it before the LORD to be preserved for the generations to come. ”
| LXX |
And Aaron placed it in front of the Testimony , to be preserved just as the LORD ... had commanded Moses.
| LXX |
The Israelites ... ate - manna forty years , until they came to - a land where they could settle ; they ate manna until they reached ... the border vvv of Canaan.
| LXX |
(Now an omer is a tenth of an ephah ....)
