اَلْخُرُوجُ 16

١ 1 ثُمَّ ٱرْتَحَلُوا مِنْ إِيلِيمَ. وَأَتَى كُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى بَرِّيَّةِ سِينٍ، ٱلَّتِي بَيْنَ إِيلِيمَ وَسِينَاءَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْخَامِسَ عَشَرَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِي بَعْدَ خُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.

They took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.

٢ 2 فَتَذَمَّرَ كُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ.

The whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;

٣ 3 وَقَالَ لَهُمَا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ: «لَيْتَنَا مُتْنَا بِيَدِ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، إِذْ كُنَّا جَالِسِينَ عِنْدَ قُدُورِ ٱللَّحْمِ نَأْكُلُ خُبْزًا لِلشَّبَعِ. فَإِنَّكُمَا أَخْرَجْتُمَانَا إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْقَفْرِ لِكَيْ تُمِيتَا كُلَّ هَذَا ٱلْجُمْهُورِ بِٱلْجُوعِ».

and the children of Israel said to them, "We wish that we had died by the hand of YHWH in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots, when we ate our fill of bread, for you have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger."

٤ 4 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «هَا أَنَا أُمْطِرُ لَكُمْ خُبْزًا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. فَيَخْرُجُ ٱلشَّعْبُ وَيَلْتَقِطُونَ حَاجَةَ ٱلْيَوْمِ بِيَوْمِهَا. لِكَيْ أَمْتَحِنَهُمْ، أَيَسْلُكُونَ فِي نَامُوسِي أَمْ لَا.

Then said YHWH to Moses, "Look, I will rain bread from heaven for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.

٥ 5 وَيَكُونُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّادِسِ أَنَّهُمْ يُهَيِّئُونَ مَا يَجِيئُونَ بِهِ فَيَكُونُ ضِعْفَ مَا يَلْتَقِطُونَهُ يَوْمًا فَيَوْمًا».

It shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall prepare that which they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily."

٦ 6 فَقَالَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ لِجَمِيعِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: «فِي ٱلْمَسَاءِ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ أَخْرَجَكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.

Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, "At evening, then you shall know that YHWH has brought you out from the land of Egypt;

٧ 7 وَفِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ تَرَوْنَ مَجْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِٱسْتِمَاعِهِ تَذَمُّرَكُمْ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ. وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَمَاذَا حَتَّى تَتَذَمَّرُوا عَلَيْنَا؟».

and in the morning, then you shall see the glory of YHWH, because he has heard your murmurings against God. Who are we, that you murmur against us?"

٨ 8 وَقَالَ مُوسَى: «ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يُعْطِيكُمْ فِي ٱلْمَسَاءِ لَحْمًا لِتَأْكُلُوا، وَفِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ خُبْزًا لِتَشْبَعُوا، لِٱسْتِمَاعِ ٱلرَّبِّ تَذَمُّرَكُمُ ٱلَّذِي تَتَذَمَّرُونَ عَلَيْهِ. وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَمَاذَا؟ لَيْسَ عَلَيْنَا تَذَمُّرُكُمْ بَلْ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ».

Moses said, "Now YHWH shall give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you; because YHWH hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against God."

٩ 9 وَقَالَ مُوسَى لِهَارُونَ: «قُلْ لِكُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: ٱقْتَرِبُوا إِلَى أَمَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ سَمِعَ تَذَمُّرَكُمْ».

Moses said to Aaron, "Tell all the congregation of the children of Israel, 'Come near before God, for he has heard your murmurings.'"

١٠ 10 فَحَدَثَ إِذْ كَانَ هَارُونُ يُكَلِّمُ كُلَّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّهُمُ ٱلْتَفَتُوا نَحْوَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَإِذَا مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَدْ ظَهَرَ فِي ٱلسَّحَابِ.

It happened, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and look, the glory of YHWH appeared in the cloud.

١١ 11 فَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

١٢ 12 «سَمِعْتُ تَذَمُّرَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. كَلِّمْهُمْ قَائِلًا: فِي ٱلْعَشِيَّةِ تَأْكُلُونَ لَحْمًا، وَفِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ تَشْبَعُونَ خُبْزًا، وَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ».

"I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, 'At evening you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread: and you shall know that I am YHWH your God.'"

١٣ 13 فَكَانَ فِي ٱلْمَسَاءِ أَنَّ ٱلسَّلْوَى صَعِدَتْ وَغَطَّتِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةَ. وَفِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ كَانَ سَقِيطُ ٱلنَّدَى حَوَالَيِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ.

It happened at evening that quail came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay around the camp.

١٤ 14 وَلَمَّا ٱرْتَفَعَ سَقِيطُ ٱلنَّدَى إِذَا عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ شَيْءٌ دَقِيقٌ مِثْلُ قُشُورٍ. دَقِيقٌ كَٱلْجَلِيدِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.

When the dew that lay had gone, look, on the surface of the wilderness was a small round thing, small as the frost on the ground.

١٥ 15 فَلَمَّا رَأَى بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ قَالُوا بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «مَنْ هُوَ؟» لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا مَا هُوَ. فَقَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى: «هُوَ ٱلْخُبْزُ ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَاكُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِتَأْكُلُوا.

When the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, "What is it?" For they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, "It is the bread which YHWH has given you to eat."

١٦ 16 هَذَا هُوَ ٱلشَّيْءُ ٱلَّذِي أَمَرَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ. اِلْتَقِطُوا مِنْهُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى حَسَبِ أُكْلِهِ. عُمِرًا لِلرَّأْسِ عَلَى عَدَدِ نُفُوسِكُمْ تَأْخُذُونَ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ لِلَّذِينَ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ».

This is the thing which YHWH 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."

١٧ 17 فَفَعَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ هَكَذَا، وَٱلْتَقَطُوا بَيْنَ مُكَثِّرٍ وَمُقَلِّلٍ.

The children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less.

١٨ 18 وَلَمَّا كَالُوا بِٱلْعُمِرِ، لَمْ يُفْضِلِ ٱلْمُكَثِّرُ وَٱلْمُقَلِّلُ لَمْ يُنْقِصْ. كَانُوا قَدِ ٱلْتَقَطُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى حَسَبِ أُكْلِهِ.

When they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack. They gathered every man according to his eating.

١٩ 19 وَقَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى: «لَا يُبْقِ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُ إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ».

Moses said to them, "Let no one leave of it until the morning."

٢٠ 20 لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِمُوسَى، بَلْ أَبْقَى مِنْهُ أُنَاسٌ إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ، فَتَوَلَّدَ فِيهِ دُودٌ وَأَنْتَنَ. فَسَخَطَ عَلَيْهِمْ مُوسَى.

Notwithstanding they did not 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.

٢١ 21 وَكَانُوا يَلْتَقِطُونَهُ صَبَاحًا فَصَبَاحًا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى حَسَبِ أُكْلِهِ. وَإِذَا حَمِيَتِ ٱلشَّمْسُ كَانَ يَذُوبُ.

They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.

٢٢ 22 ثُمَّ كَانَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّادِسِ أَنَّهُمُ ٱلْتَقَطُوا خُبْزًا مُضَاعَفًا، عُمِرَيْنِ لِلْوَاحِدِ. فَجَاءَ كُلُّ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ وَأَخْبَرُوا مُوسَى.

It happened that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one, and all the leaders of the congregation came and told Moses.

٢٣ 23 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَذَا مَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: غَدًا عُطْلَةٌ، سَبْتٌ مُقَدَّسٌ لِلرَّبِّ. ٱخْبِزُوا مَا تَخْبِزُونَ وَٱطْبُخُوا مَا تَطْبُخُونَ. وَكُلُّ مَا فَضِلَ ضَعُوهُ عِنْدَكُمْ لِيُحْفَظَ إِلَى ٱلْغَدِ».

He said to them, "This is that which YHWH has spoken, 'Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to YHWH. 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.'"

٢٤ 24 فَوَضَعُوهُ إِلَى ٱلْغَدِ كَمَا أَمَرَ مُوسَى، فَلَمْ يُنْتِنْ وَلَا صَارَ فِيهِ دُودٌ.

They laid it up until the morning, as Moses asked, and it did not become foul, neither was there any worm in it.

٢٥ 25 فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «كُلُوهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ، لِأَنَّ لِلرَّبِّ ٱلْيَوْمَ سَبْتًا. ٱلْيَوْمَ لَا تَجِدُونَهُ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ.

Moses said, "Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to YHWH. Today you shall not find it in the field.

٢٦ 26 سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ تَلْتَقِطُونَهُ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلسَّابِعُ فَفِيهِ سَبْتٌ، لَا يُوجَدُ فِيهِ».

Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none."

٢٧ 27 وَحَدَثَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ أَنَّ بَعْضَ ٱلشَّعْبِ خَرَجُوا لِيَلْتَقِطُوا فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا.

It happened on the seventh day, that some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.

٢٨ 28 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «إِلَى مَتَى تَأْبَوْنَ أَنْ تَحْفَظُوا وَصَايَايَ وَشَرَائِعِي؟

YHWH said to Moses, "How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?

٢٩ 29 اُنْظُرُوا! إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ أَعْطَاكُمُ ٱلسَّبْتَ. لِذَلِكَ هُوَ يُعْطِيكُمْ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّادِسِ خُبْزَ يَوْمَيْنِ. ٱجْلِسُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي مَكَانِهِ. لَا يَخْرُجْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ».

Look, because YHWH has given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days. Everyone stay in his place. Let no one go out of his place on the seventh day."

٣٠ 30 فَٱسْتَرَاحَ ٱلشَّعْبُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ.

So the people rested on the seventh day.

٣١ 31 وَدَعَا بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱسْمَهُ «مَنًّا». وَهُوَ كَبِزْرِ ٱلْكُزْبَرَةِ، أَبْيَضُ، وَطَعْمُهُ كَرِقَاقٍ بِعَسَلٍ.

The house of Israel called its name Manna, and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey.

٣٢ 32 وَقَالَ مُوسَى: «هَذَا هُوَ ٱلشَّيْءُ ٱلَّذِي أَمَرَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ. مِلْءُ ٱلْعُمِرِ مِنْهُ يَكُونُ لِلْحِفْظِ فِي أَجْيَالِكُمْ. لِكَيْ يَرَوْا ٱلْخُبْزَ ٱلَّذِي أَطْعَمْتُكُمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ حِينَ أَخْرَجْتُكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ».

Moses said, "This is the thing which YHWH has commanded, 'Let an omer-full of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.'"

٣٣ 33 وَقَالَ مُوسَى لِهَارُونَ: «خُذْ قِسْطًا وَاحِدًا وَٱجْعَلْ فِيهِ مِلْءَ ٱلْعُمِرِ مَنًّا، وَضَعْهُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِلْحِفْظِ فِي أَجْيَالِكُمْ».

Moses said to Aaron, "Take a jar, and put an omer-full of manna in it, and place it before God, to be kept throughout your generations."

٣٤ 34 كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَضَعَهُ هَارُونُ أَمَامَ ٱلشَّهَادَةِ لِلْحِفْظِ.

As YHWH commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

٣٥ 35 وَأَكَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْمَنَّ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً حَتَّى جَاءُوا إِلَى أَرْضٍ عَامِرَةٍ. أَكَلُوا ٱلْمَنَّ حَتَّى جَاءُوا إِلَى طَرَفِ أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ.

The children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.

٣٦ 36 وَأَمَّا ٱلْعُمِرُ فَهُوَ عُشْرُ ٱلْإِيفَةِ.

Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
