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.

Then moved they on from Elim, and all the assembly of the sons of Israel entered into the desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month, by their coming forth out of the land of Egypt.

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

Then did all the assembly of the sons of Israel murmur against Moses and against Aaron in the desert;

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 said unto them—Oh that we had died by the hand of Yahweh, in the land of Egypt, when we remained by the pot of flesh, when we did eat bread to the full, —for ye have brought us forth into this desert, to cause all this multitude to die by famine.

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 Yahweh unto Moses, Behold me! raining down for you bread out of heaven, —and the people shall go out and gather the portion for a day, 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 settle what they shall bring in, —and it shall be twice as much as 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;

So Moses and Aaron said unto all the sons of Israel, —At eventide, then shall ye know that it was, Yahweh, who brought you forth, 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, then shall ye see the glory of Yahweh, in that he hath heard your murmurings against Yahweh, —what then are, we, that ye should 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—In that Yahweh giveth you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning, to the full, in that Yahweh heareth your murmurings wherewith ye are murmuring against him, what then are, we? Not against us, do ye murmur but against Yahweh.

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 unto Aaron, Say unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel, Draw near, before Yahweh, —for he hath 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 spake unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel, then turned they towards the desert, —and lo! the glory of Yahweh, had appeared in the cloud,

11 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:

Then spake Yahweh unto 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 unto them, saying—Between the two evenings, shall ye eat flesh, and in the morning, shall ye be filled with bread, —so shall ye know that I Yahweh am 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 there came up quail, and covered the camp, —and in the morning was the outpouring of dew, round about 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 outpouring of dew went up, then lo! on the face of the desert, a thin flake, thin as hoar-frost 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 when the sons of Israel saw it they said one to another—What is that? For they knew not what "that" was. Then said Moses unto them, "That" is the bread which Yahweh hath 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 Yahweh hath commanded, Gather ye thereof, each man what he needeth for eating, —an omer a head, by the number of your souls, each man—for them who are in his tent, shall ye take.

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

And the sons of Israel did so, —and gathered, [some] more, 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 when they measured it with the omer, he who had gathered more had nothing over, and he who had gathered less had no lack: each man what he needed for eating, did they gather.

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

And Moses said unto them, —Let, no man leave thereof, 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.

But they hearkened not unto Moses, but certain men left thereof until morning, and it swarmed with worms and become loathsome, —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.

Thus then they gathered it morning by morning, each man what he needed for eating, and as soon as the sun waxed hot, so soon 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 food twice as much, two omers for each one, —so all the princes of the assembly came in, 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 unto them—That is what Yahweh spake. The observance of a holy sabbath to Yahweh, is to-morrow, —what ye would bake, bake and what ye would boil, boil, and all that is left over, put by you to keep 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.

So they put it by until the morning, as Moses had commanded, —and it gave no unpleasant odour, neither was there a worm, therein.

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.

Then said Moses—Eat ye it to-day, for a sabbath, is to-day, unto Yahweh, —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, a sabbath, it shall not be therein.

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 forth some of the people to gather, —but they found not.

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

Then said Yahweh unto Moses, —How long have ye refused 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 because Yahweh hath given you the sabbath, for this cause, is, he, giving you on the sixth day, food for two days, —abide ye every man in his place, let no man go forth from his dwelling, on the seventh day,

30 Og Folket hvilede paa den syvende Dag.

So 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 the name thereof Manna, —and the same, was like coriander seed white, and the taste thereof, like flat-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 Yahweh hath commanded, Fill an omer therefrom as a thing to be preserved to your generations, —that they may see the bread wherewith I fed you in the desert, when I brought 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.

So Moses said unto Aaron—Take a single basket, and put therein an omer-full of manna, —and set it down before Yahweh, as a thing to be preserved to your generations.

34 Ligesom Herren befalede Mose, saa satte Aron det ned for Vidnesbyrdet til at forvares.

As Yahweh gave command unto Moses, so did Aaron set it down before the testimony, as a thing to be preserved,

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 did eat the manna forty years, until they entered into the land wherein they were to dwell, —the manna, they did eat until they entered into the bounds of the land of Canaan.

36 Men en Orner er den tiende Part af en Efa.

Now, an omer, is, the tenth of the ephah.
