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 journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the sons of Israel come to the wilderness of Sin, which [is] between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month of their going out from the land of Egypt.

2 Og al Israels Børns Menighed knurrede mod Mose og mod Aron i Ørken.

And all the congregation of the sons of Israel murmur 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 sons of Israel say to them, “Oh that we had died by the hand of YHWH in the land of Egypt, in our sitting by the flesh-pot, in our eating bread to satiety—for you have brought us out to this wilderness to put all this assembly to death 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 YHWH says to Moses, “Behold, I am raining bread from the heavens for you—and the people have gone out and gathered the matter of a day in its day—so that I try them whether they 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 has been on the sixth day, that they have prepared that which they bring in, and it has been double above that which they gather day [by] day.”

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 says—Aaron also—to all the sons of Israel, “Evening—and you have known that YHWH 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 morning—and you have seen the glory of YHWH, in His hearing your murmurings against YHWH, and what [are] we, that you 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 says, “In YHWH’s giving to you flesh to eat in the evening, and bread in the morning to satiety—in YHWH’s hearing your murmurings, which you are murmuring against Him, and what [are] we? Your murmurings [are] not against us, but against YHWH.”

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 says to Aaron, “Say to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, Come near before YHWH, 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 comes to pass, when Aaron is speaking to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, that they turn toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of YHWH is seen in the cloud.

11 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:

And YHWH speaks 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 sons of Israel; speak to them, saying, Between the evenings you eat flesh, and in the morning you are satisfied [with] bread, and you have known that I [am] your God YHWH.”

13 Og det skete om Aftenen, at der kom Vagtler og bedækkede Lejren, og om Morgenen laa Duggen trindt omkring Lejren.

And it comes to pass in the evening, that the quail comes up, and covers the camp, and in the morning there has been the lying of dew around 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 the lying of the dew goes up, and behold, on the face of the wilderness [is] a thin, bare thing, thin as hoarfrost on 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 the sons of Israel see, and say to one another, “What [is] it?” For they have not known what it [is]; and Moses says to them, “It [is] the bread which YHWH has given to you for food.

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 YHWH has commanded: Gather of it, each according to his eating, an omer for the counted head; and the number of your persons, take, each, for those in his tent.”

17 Og Israels Børn gjorde saa og sankede, en mere og en anden mindre.

And the sons of Israel do so, and they gather, he who is [gathering] much, and he who is [gathering] 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 measure with an omer, and he who is [gathering] much has nothing over, and he who is [gathering] little has no lack, each according to his eating they have gathered.

19 Og Mose sagde til dem: Ingen skal levne deraf til om Morgenen.

And Moses says to them, “Let no man leave of it until 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.

and they have not listened to Moses, and some of them leave of it until morning, and it brings up worms and stinks; and Moses is angry 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 gather it morning by morning, each according to his eating; when the sun has been warm, then it has 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 comes to pass on the sixth day, they have gathered a second bread, two omers for one, and all the princes of the congregation come in, and declare [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 he says to them, “It [is] that which YHWH has spoken: A rest—a holy Sabbath to YHWH—[is] tomorrow; that which you bake, bake; and that which you boil, boil; and all that is remaining, let [it] rest for yourselves for preservation until 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 let it rest until the morning, as Moses has commanded, and it has not stunk, and a worm has not been 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 says, “Eat it today, for today [is] a Sabbath to YHWH; today you do 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 you gather it, and in the seventh day—the Sabbath—there is none in it.”

27 Og det skete, paa den syvende Dag gik nogle af Folket ud at sanke, men de fandt intet.

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

28 Da sagde Herren til Mose: Hvor længe vægre I eder ved at holde mine Bud og mine Love?

And YHWH says to Moses, “How long have you refused to keep My commands 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, 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 Og Folket hvilede paa den syvende Dag.

And the people rest 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 calls its name Manna, and it [is] as white coriander seed; and its taste [is] as a 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 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 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 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 Ligesom Herren befalede Mose, saa satte Aron det ned for Vidnesbyrdet til at forvares.

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

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 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 Men en Orner er den tiende Part af en Efa.

And the omer is a tenth of the ephah.
