2 Mosebog 16
1 Så brød de op fra Elim, og hele Israeliternes Menighed kom til Sins Ørken, der ligger mellem Elim og Sinaj, på den femtende Dag i den anden Måned efter deres Udvandring af Ægypten.
They took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails] came to the wilderness of Cin [Clay], which is between Elim and Sinai [Thorn], on the fifteenth day of the second month (Iyar ·Light / I Am God your healer, 2·) after their departing out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
2 Men hele Israeliternes Menighed knurrede mod Moses og Aron i Ørkenen,
The whole congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails] murmured against Moses [Drawn out] and against Aaron [Light-bringer] in the wilderness;
3 og Israeliterne sagde til dem: "Var vi dog blot døde for HERRENs Hånd i Ægypten, hvor vi sad ved Kødgryderne og kunde spise os mætte i Brød! Thi I har ført os ud i denne Ørken for at lade hele denne Forsamling dø af Sult."
and the children of Israel [God prevails] said to them, “We wish that we had died by Adonai’s hand in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], 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.”
4 Da sagde HERREN til Moses: "Se, jeg vil lade Brød regne ned fra Himmelen til eder, og Folket skal gå ud og hver Dag samle så meget, som de daglig behøver, for at jeg kan prøve dem, om de vil følge min Lov eller ej.
Then Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Behold, I will rain bread from the sky 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 Torah ·Teaching·, or not.
5 Og når de på den sjette Ugedag tilbereder, hvad de har bragt hjem, så skal det være dobbelt så meget, som de samler de andre Dage."
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.”
6 Og Moses og Aron sagde til alle Israeliterne: "I Aften skal I kende, at det er HERREN, som har ført eder ud af Ægypten,
Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] said to all the children of Israel [God prevails], “At evening, then you shall know that Adonai has brought you out from the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery];
7 og i Morgen skal I skue HERRENs Herlighed, thi han har hørt eders Knurren mod HERREN; thi hvad er vel vi, at I knurrer mod os!"
and in the morning, then you shall see the kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing·; because he sh'ma ·hears obeys· your murmurings against Adonai. Who are we, that you murmur against us?”
8 Og Moses tilføjede: "Det skal ske, når HERREN i Aften giver eder Kød at spise og i Morgen Brød at mætte eder med; thi HERREN har hørt, hvorledes I knurrer mod ham; thi hvad er vi? Thi det er ikke os, I knurrer imod, men HERREN."
Moses [Drawn out] said, “Now Adonai shall give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you; because Adonai sh'ma ·hears obeys· your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Adonai.”
9 Derpå sagde Moses til Aron: "Sig til hele Israeliternes Menighed: Træd frem for HERRENs Åsyn, thi han har hørt eders Knurren!"
Moses [Drawn out] said to Aaron [Light-bringer], “Tell all the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails], ‘Come near before Adonai, for he has heard your murmurings.’”
10 Og da Aron sagde det til hele Israeliternes Menighed, vendte de sig mod Ørkenen, og se, HERRENs Herlighed viste sig i Skyen.
As Aaron [Light-bringer] spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails], they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing· appeared in the cloud.
11 Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
12 "Jeg har hørt Israeliternes Knurren; sig til dem: Ved Aftenstid skal I få Kød at spise, og i Morgen tidlig skal I få Brød at mætte eder med, og I skal kende, at jeg er HERREN eders Gud."
“I have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the murmurings of the children of Israel [God prevails]. 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 Adonai your God.’”
13 Da det nu blev Aften, kom en Sværm Vagtler flyvende og faldt i et tykt Lag over Lejren; og næste Morgen lå Duggen tæt rundt om Lejren,
In the evening, quail came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay around the camp.
14 og da Duggen svandt, var Ørkenen dækket med noget fint, skælagtigt noget, noget fint der lignede Rim på Jorden.
When the dew that lay had gone, behold, on the surface of the wilderness was a small round thing, small as the frost on the ground.
15 Da Israeliterne så det, spurgte de hverandre: "Hvad er det?" Thi de vidste ikke, hvad det var; men Moses sagde til dem: "Det er det Brød, HERREN har givet eder til Føde!
When the children of Israel [God prevails] saw it, they asked one another, “Man hu? ·What is it·?” For they didn’t know what it was. Moses [Drawn out] answered them, “It is the bread which Adonai has given you to eat.”
16 Og således har HERREN påbudt: I skal samle deraf, enhver så meget som han har behov, en Omer for hvert Hoved; I skal tage deraf i Forhold til Antallet af eders Husfolk, enhver skal tage deraf til dem, der er i hans Telt!"
This is the thing which Adonai has enjoined: “Gather of it everyone according to his eating; an omer ·sheath of grain· [2.6 qt; 1.2 L] a head, according to the number of your persons, you shall take it, every man for those who are in his tent.”
17 Israeliterne gjorde nu således, og de samlede, nogle mere og andre mindre;
The children of Israel [God prevails] did so, and gathered some more, some less.
18 og da de målte det med Omeren, havde den, der havde meget, ikke for meget, og den, der havde lidt, ikke for lidt, enhver havde samlet, hvad han behøvede til Føde.
When they measured it with an omer ·sheath of grain· [2.6 qt; 1.2 L], he who gathered much had nothing extra, and he who gathered little had nothing lacking. They gathered every man according to his eating.
19 Derpå sagde Moses til dem: "Ingen må gemme noget deraf til næste Morgen!"
Moses [Drawn out] said to them, “Let no one leave of it until the morning.”
20 Dog adlød de ikke Moses, og nogle af dem gemte noget deraf til næste Morgen; men da var det fuldt af Orme og lugtede. Da blev Moses vred på dem.
Notwithstanding they didn’t sh'ma ·hear obey· Moses [Drawn out], but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul: and Moses [Drawn out] was angry with them.
21 Således samlede de nu hver Morgen, enhver så meget som han havde behov. Men når Solen begyndte at brænde, smeltede det.
They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.
22 På den sjette Ugedag havde de samlet dobbelt så meget Brød, to Omer for hver Person. Og alle Menighedens Øverster kom og sagde det til Moses;
On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one, and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses [Drawn out].
23 men han sagde til dem: "Det er netop, som HERREN har sagt. I Morgen er det Hviledag, en hellig Sabbat for HERREN. Bag, hvad I vil bage, og kog, hvad I vil koge, men læg det tiloversblevne til Side for at gemme det til i Morgen!"
He said to them, “This is that which Adonai has spoken, ‘Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath ·Intermission· to Adonai. 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.’”
24 De lagde det da til Side til næste Dag, som Moses havde befalet, og det kom ikke til at lugte, og der gik ikke Orm deri.
They laid it up until the morning, as Moses [Drawn out] enjoined, and it didn’t become foul, and there were no worms in it.
25 Derpå sagde Moses: "Det skal I spise i Dag, thi i Dag er det Sabbat for HERREN; i Dag finder I intet ude på Marken.
Moses [Drawn out] said, “Eat that today, for today is a Shabath ·Intermission· to Adonai. Today you shall not find it in the field.
26 I seks bage skal I samle det, men på den syvende Dag, på Sabbaten, er der intet at finde."
Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Shabath ·Intermission·. In it there shall be none.”
27 Alligevel var der nogle blandt Folket, der gik ud på den syvende Dag for at samle; men de fandt intet.
On the seventh day, some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.
28 Da sagde HERREN til Moses: "Hvor længe vil I vægre eder ved at holde mine Bud og Love?
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “How long do you refuse to keep my mitzvot ·instructions· and my torot ·teachings·?
29 Betænk dog, at HERREN har givet eder Sabbaten! Derfor giver han eder på den sjette Dag Brød til to Dage. Enhver af eder skal blive, hvor han er, og ingen må forlade sin Bolig på den syvende Dag!"
Behold, because Adonai has given you the Shabath ·Intermission·, 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.”
30 Da hvilede Folket på den syvende Dag.
So the people rested on the seventh day.
31 Men Israeliterne kaldte det Manna; det lignede hvide Korianderfrø og smagte som Honningkager.
The house of Israel [God prevails] called its name Manna ·What is it·, and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey.
32 Moses sagde fremdeles: "Således har HERREN påbudt: En Omer fuld deraf skal gemmes til eders Efterkommere, for at de kan se det Brød, jeg gav eder at spise i Ørkenen, da jeg førte eder ud af Ægypten!"
Moses [Drawn out] said, “This is the thing which Adonai has enjoined, ‘Let an omer-full of it be kept throughout all your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].’”
33 Og Moses sagde til Aron: "Tag en Krukke, kom en Omer Manna deri og stil den foran HERRENs Åsyn for at gemmes til eders Efterkommere!"
Moses [Drawn out] said to Aaron [Light-bringer], “Take a pot, and put an omer-full of manna ·what is it· in it, and lay it up before Adonai, to be kept throughout all your generations.”
34 Og Aron gjorde, som HERREN havde pålagt Moses, og han stillede den foran Vidnesbyrdet for at gemmes.
As Adonai enjoined Moses [Drawn out], so Aaron [Light-bringer] laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
35 Og Israeliterne spiste Manna i fyrretyve År, indtil de kom til beboede Egne; de spiste Manna, indtil de kom til Grænsen af Kana'ans Land.
The children of Israel [God prevails] ate the manna ·what is it· forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate the manna ·what is it· until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan [Humbled].
36 En Omer er Tiendedelen af en Efa.
Now an omer ·sheath of grain· [2.6 qt; 1.2 L] is one tenth of an ephah [0.63 bushels; 5.9 gal; 22 L].
