2 Mosebog 16
1 Og de droge fra Elim, og al Israels Børns Menighed kom til den Ørk Sin, som er imellem Elim og imellem Sinai, paa den femtende Dag i den anden Maaned, efter at de udgik af Ægyptens Land.
And they journeyed from Elim, and the whole assembly of the children of Israel came into the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure out of the land of Egypt.
2 Og al Israels Børns Menighed knurrede mod Mose og mod Aron i Ørken.
And the whole assembly of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness.
3 Og Israels Børn sagde til dem: Gid vi vare døde ved Herrens Haand i Ægyptens Land, da vi sade ved Kødgryden, da vi aade Brød, til vi vare mætte; thi I have udført os i denne Ørk at lade hele denne Menighed dø af Hunger.
And the children of Israel said to them, Would that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we ate bread to the full; for ye have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole congregation with hunger!
4 Da sagde Herren til Mose: Se, jeg vil lade regne Brød ned fra Himmelen til eder, at Folket maa gaa ud og sanke, hvad der hører til, Dag for Dag, at jeg kan forsøge det, om det vil vandre i min Lov eller ej.
Then said Jehovah to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather the daily need on its day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.
5 Og det skal ske paa den sjette Dag, at de skulle tillave det, som de bære hjem; og det skal være dobbelt saa meget som det, de ellers sanke hver Dag.
And it shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall prepare what they have brought in; and it shall be twice as much as they shall gather daily.
6 Og Mose og Aron sagde til alle Israels Børn: I Aften skulle I kende, at Herren har udført eder af Ægyptens Land;
And Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, In the evening, then shall ye know that Jehovah has brought you out from the land of Egypt;
7 og i Morgen skulle I se Herrens Herlighed, efterdi han har hørt eders Knurren imod Herren; og hvad ere vi, at I knurre mod os?
and in the morning, then shall ye see the glory of Jehovah; for he has heard your murmurings against Jehovah; — and what are we, that ye murmur against us?
8 Og Mose sagde: Det skal ske, naar Herren giver eder Kød at æde i Aften og Brød i Morgen til at mættes; efterdi Herren har hørt eders Knurren, med hvilken I knurre imod ham; og hvad ere vi? Eders Knurren er ikke imod os, men imod Herren.
And Moses said, When Jehovah gives you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for Jehovah hears your murmurings which ye murmur against him...and what [are] we? your murmurings are not against us, but against Jehovah.
9 Og Mose sagde til Aron: Sig til al Israels Børns Menighed: Kommer frem for Herrens Ansigt; thi han har hørt eders Knurren.
And Moses spoke to Aaron, Say to all the assembly of the children of Israel, Come near into the presence of Jehovah; for he has heard your murmurings.
10 Og det skete, der Aron talede til al Israels Børns Menighed, da saa de hen til Ørken; og se, Herrens Herlighed saas i Skyen.
And it came to pass, when Aaron spoke to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, that they turned toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of Jehovah appeared in the cloud.
11 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
12 Jeg har hørt Israels Børns Knurren; tal til dem og sig: Imellem de to Aftener skulle I æde Kød, og i Morgen skulle I mættes af Brød; og I skulle fornemme, at jeg er Herren eders Gud.
I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak to them, saying, Between the two evenings ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah your God.
13 Og det skete om Aftenen, at der kom Vagtler og bedækkede Lejren, og om Morgenen laa Duggen trindt omkring Lejren.
And it came to pass in the evening, that quails came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay round the camp.
14 Og der Duggen, som laa, hævede sig, se, da laa der oven over Ørken noget tyndt, trindt, tyndt som Rimfrost paa Jorden.
And when the dew that lay [round it] was gone up, behold, on the face of the wilderness there was [something] fine, granular, fine as hoar-frost, on the ground.
15 Der Israels Børn saa det, da sagde de, den ene til den anden: Hvad er det? thi de vidste ikke, hvad det var; da sagde Mose til dem: Det er det Brød, som Herren har givet eder at æde.
And the children of Israel saw [it], and said one to another, What is it? for they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, This is the bread which Jehovah has given you to eat.
16 Dette er det Ord, som Herren har befalet: Sanker deraf, eftersom enhver kan æde; I skulle tage en Orner for hvert Hoved, efter eders Personers Tal, som hver har i sit Telt.
This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded: Gather of it every man according to what he can eat, an omer a poll, [according to] the number of your persons: ye shall take every man for those that are in his tent.
17 Og Israels Børn gjorde saa og sankede, en mere og en anden mindre.
And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some much, some little.
18 Og de maalte det i en Orner, da havde den ikke tilovers, som havde sanket meget, og der fattedes ikke for den, som havde sanket mindre; de havde sanket hver saa meget, som han kunde æde.
And they measured with the omer: then he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little wanted nothing: they had gathered every man according to the measure of his eating.
19 Og Mose sagde til dem: Ingen skal levne deraf til om Morgenen.
And Moses said to them, Let no man leave [any] of it until the morning.
20 Dog adløde de ikke Mose, men somme levnede deraf til om Morgenen, saa voksede der Orme derudi, og det lugtede ilde; saa blev Mose vred paa dem.
But they did not hearken to Moses; and some men left of it until the morning; then worms bred in it and it stank. And Moses was wroth with them.
21 Og de sankede hver Morgen deraf, hver saa meget, som han kunde æde, men naar Solen skinnede hedt, saa smeltedes det.
And they gathered it every morning, every man as much as he could eat; and when the sun became hot, it melted.
22 Og det skete paa den sjette Dag, at de sankede dobbelt Brød, to Orner for een; saa kom alle Fyrsterne af Menigheden og gav Mose det til Kende.
And it came to pass on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one; and all the princes of the assembly came and told Moses.
23 Da sagde han til dem: Det er det, som Herren sagde: I Morgen er det Sabbat, Helligheds Hvile for Herren; hvad I ville bage, det bager, og hvad I ville koge, det koger; men alt det, som bliver tilovers, skulle I lade ligge i Forvaring for eder til Morgenen.
And he said to them, This is what Jehovah has said: To-morrow is the rest, the holy sabbath, of Jehovah: bake what ye will bake, and cook what ye will cook; and lay up for yourselves all that remains over, to be kept for the morning.
24 Og de lode det ligge til Morgenen, som Mose befalede; og det lugtede ikke ilde, og der var ikke Orm i det.
And they laid it up for the morning, as Moses had commanded; and it did not stink, neither was there any worm in it.
25 Da sagde Mose: Æder det i Dag; thi det er Sabbat i Dag for Herren; i Dag skulle I ikke finde det paa Marken.
And Moses said, Eat it to-day; for to-day is sabbath to Jehovah: to-day ye shall not find it in the field.
26 Seks Dage skulle I sanke det; men paa den syvende Dag, paa Sabbaten, paa den skal det ikke være at finde.
Six days shall ye gather it; but on the seventh day is sabbath: on it there shall be none.
27 Og det skete, paa den syvende Dag gik nogle af Folket ud at sanke, men de fandt intet.
And it came to pass on the seventh day that there went out [some] from the people to gather [it], and they found none.
28 Da sagde Herren til Mose: Hvor længe vægre I eder ved at holde mine Bud og mine Love?
And Jehovah said to Moses, How long do ye refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?
29 Ser, at Herren har givet eder Sabbaten, derfor giver han eder paa den sjette Dag to Dages Brød; bliver hver paa sit Sted, ingen gaa ud fra sit Sted paa den syvende Dag.
See, for Jehovah hath given you the sabbath; therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread for two days. Abide every man in his place: let no man go from his place on the seventh day.
30 Og Folket hvilede paa den syvende Dag.
And the people rested on the seventh day.
31 Og Israels Hus kaldte dets Navn Man; og det var ligesom Korianderfrø hvidt og smagte som Honningkage.
And the house of Israel called its name Manna; and it was like coriander-seed, white; and the taste of it was like cake with honey.
32 Og Mose sagde: Dette er det Ord, som Herren befalede: Fyld en Orner deraf til at forvares til eders Efterkommere, paa det de maa se det Brød, som jeg bespiste eder med i Ørken, der jeg udførte eder af Ægyptens Land.
And Moses said, This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded: Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread that I gave you to eat in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.
33 Og Mose sagde til Aron: Tag en Krukke, og læg en Orner fuld af Man derudi, og sæt det ned for Herren til at forvares til eders Efterkommere.
And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot, and put in it an omer full of manna, and deposit it before Jehovah, to be kept for your generations.
34 Ligesom Herren befalede Mose, saa satte Aron det ned for Vidnesbyrdet til at forvares.
As Jehovah had commanded Moses, so Aaron deposited it before the Testimony, to be kept.
35 Og Israels Børn aade det Man fyrretyve Aar, til de kom til det Land, som var beboet; de aade Man, indtil de kom til Grænsen af Kanaans Land.
And the children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came into an inhabited land: they ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.
36 Men en Orner er den tiende Part af en Efa.
Now an omer is the tenth [part] of an ephah.
