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 departed from Aelim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Aelim and Sina; and on the fifteenth day, in the second month after their departure from the land of Egypt,
2 Og al Israels Børns Menighed knurrede mod Mose og mod Aron i Ørken.
all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron.
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 we had died struck by the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, and ate bread to satiety! for you have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill all this 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.
And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, I [will] rain bread upon you out of heaven: and the people shall go forth, and they shall gather their daily portion for the day, that I may try 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 whatever they have brought in, and it shall be double of what they shall have gathered for the day, 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 congregation of the children of Israel, At even you shall know that the Lord has brought you out of 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 you shall see the glory of the Lord, inasmuch as he hears your murmuring against God; and who are we, that you continue to 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, [This shall be] when the Lord gives you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning to satiety, because the Lord has heard your murmuring, which you murmur against us: and what are we? for your murmuring is not against us, but against God.
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 said to Aaron, Say to all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before God; for he has heard your murmuring.
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 when Aaron spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they turned toward the wilderness, then the glory of the Lord appeared in a cloud.
11 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
And the Lord 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 murmuring of the children of Israel: speak to them, saying, Towards evening you shall eat flesh, and in the morning you shall be satisfied with bread; and you shall know that I am the Lord 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 was evening, and quails came up and covered 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.
in the morning it came to pass as the dew ceased round about the camp, that, behold, on the face of the wilderness [was] a small thing like white coriander seed, as frost upon the earth.
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 when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, What is this? for they knew not what it was; and Moses said to them,
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 bread which the Lord has given you to eat. This is that which the Lord has appointed: gather of it each man for his family, a homer for each person, according to the number of your souls, gather each of you with his fellow-lodgers.
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 and some less.
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 having measured the homer [full], he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that had gathered less had no lack; each gathered according to the need of those who belonged to him.
19 Og Mose sagde til dem: Ingen skal levne deraf til om Morgenen.
And Moses said to them, Let no man leave of it till 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 listen to Moses, but some left of it till the morning; and it bred worms and stank: and Moses was irritated 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, each man what he needed, and when the sun waxed 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, they gathered double what was needed, two homers for one [man]; and all the chiefs of the synagogue went in and reported it to 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 Moses said to them, Is not this the word which the Lord spoke? To-morrow [is] the sabbath, a holy rest to the Lord: bake that you will bake, and seethe that you will seethe, and all that is over leave to be laid by for the morrow.
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 left of it till the morning, as Moses commanded them; and it stank not, neither was there a 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 [that] today, for today is a sabbath to the Lord: [it] shall not be found in the plain.
26 Seks Dage skulle I sanke det; men paa den syvende Dag, paa Sabbaten, paa den skal det ikke være at finde.
Six days you shall gather it, and on the seventh day is a sabbath, for there shall be none on that [day].
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] some of the people went forth to gather, and found none.
28 Da sagde Herren til Mose: Hvor længe vægre I eder ved at holde mine Bud og mine Love?
And the Lord said to Moses, How long are you unwilling to listen to my commands and my law?
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 the Lord has given you this day [as] the sabbath, therefore he has given you on the sixth day the bread of two days: you shall sit each of you in your houses; let no one go forth from his place on the seventh day.
30 Og Folket hvilede paa den syvende Dag.
And the people kept sabbath on the seventh day.
31 Og Israels Hus kaldte dets Navn Man; og det var ligesom Korianderfrø hvidt og smagte som Honningkage.
And the children of Israel called the name of it Man; and it was as white coriander seed, and the taste of it as a wafer 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 the Lord has commanded, Fill an homer with manna, to be laid up for your generations; that they may see the bread which you ate in the wilderness, when the Lord led you forth 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 golden pot, and cast into it one full homer of manna; and you shall lay it up before God, to be kept for your generations,
34 Ligesom Herren befalede Mose, saa satte Aron det ned for Vidnesbyrdet til at forvares.
as the Lord commanded Moses: and Aaron laid it up 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 manna forty years, until they came to the land they ate the manna, until they came to the region of Phoenicia.
36 Men en Orner er den tiende Part af en Efa.
Now the homer was the tenth part of three measures.
