Exodus 16:27-36 ▼

27 And it comes to pass on the seventh day, some of the people have gone out to gather, and have not found.

28 And YHWH says to Moses, “How long have you refused to keep My commands and My laws?

29 See, because YHWH has given the Sabbath to you, therefore He is giving to you on the sixth day bread of two days; each abide [in] his place, no one goes out from his place on the seventh day.”

30 And the people rest on the seventh day,

31 and the house of Israel calls its name Manna, and it [is] as white coriander seed; and its taste [is] as a cake with honey.

32 And Moses says, “This [is] the thing which YHWH has commanded: Fill the omer with it, for a charge for your generations, so that they see the bread which I have caused you to eat in the wilderness, in My bringing you out from the land of Egypt.”

33 And Moses says to Aaron, “Take one pot, and put the fullness of the omer of manna [in] there, and let it rest before YHWH, for a charge for your generations”;

34 as YHWH has given command to Moses, so Aaron lets it rest before the Testimony, for a charge.

35 And the sons of Israel have eaten the manna [for] forty years, until their coming to the land to be inhabited; they have eaten the manna until their coming to the extremity of the land of Canaan.

36 And the omer is a tenth of the ephah.
