Exodus 16
1 And they took their journey from Elim. And all the congregation of the sons of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
Profectique sunt de Elim, et venit omnis multitudo filiorum Israel in desertum Sin, quod est inter Elim et Sinai: quintodecimo die mensis secundi, postquam egressi sunt de terra Aegypti.
2 And the whole congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness.
Et murmuravit omnis congregatio filiorum Israel contra Moysen et Aaron in solitudine.
3 And the sons 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 forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
Dixeruntque filii Israel ad eos: Utinam mortui essemus per manum Domini in Terra Aegypti, quando sedebamus super ollas carnium, et comedebamus panem in saturitate: cur induxistis nos in desertum istud, ut occideretis omnem multitudinem fame?
4 Then Jehovah said to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.
Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: Ecce, ego pluam vobis panes de caelo: egrediatur populus, et colligat quae sufficiunt per singulos dies: ut tentem eum utrum ambulet in lege mea, an non.
5 And 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.
Die autem sexto parent quod inferant: et sit duplum quam colligere solebant per singulos dies.
6 And Moses and Aaron said to all the sons of Israel, At evening, then ye shall know that Jehovah has brought you out from the land of Egypt,
Dixeruntque Moyses et Aaron ad omnes filios Israel: Vespere scietis quod Dominus eduxerit vos de terra Aegypti:
7 and in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of Jehovah, for he hears your murmurings against Jehovah. And what are we, that ye murmur against us?
et mane videbitis gloriam Domini: audivi enim murmur vestrum contra Dominum: nos vero quid sumus, quia mussitastis contra nos?
8 And Moses said, This shall be when Jehovah shall give you flesh to eat in the evening, and bread to the full in the morning, for that Jehovah hears your murmurings which ye murmur against him. And what are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Jehovah.
Et ait Moyses: Dabit vobis Dominus vespere carnes edere, et mane panes in saturitate: eo quod audierit murmurationes vestras quibus murmurati estis contra eum, nos enim quid sumus? nec contra nos est murmur vestrum, sed contra Dominum.
9 And Moses said to Aaron, Say to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, Come near before Jehovah, for he has heard your murmurings.
Dixit quoque Moyses ad Aaron: Dic universae congregationi filiorum Israel: Accedite coram Domino: audivit enim murmur vestrum.
10 And it came to pass, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of Jehovah appeared in the cloud.
Cumque loqueretur Aaron ad omnem coetum filiorum Israel, respexerunt ad solitudinem: et ecce gloria Domini apparuit in nube.
11 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Locutus est autem Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
12 I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel. Speak to them, saying, At evening ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread. And ye shall know that I am Jehovah your God.
Audivi murmurationes filiorum Israel, loquere ad eos: Vespere comedetis carnes, et mane saturabimini panibus: scietisque quod ego sum Dominus Deus vester.
13 And it came to pass at evening, that the quails came up, and covered the camp. And in the morning the dew lay round about the camp,
Factum est ergo vespere, et ascendens coturnix, cooperuit castra: mane quoque ros iacuit per circuitum castrorum.
14 and when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness a small round thing, small as the hoarfrost on the ground.
Cumque operuisset superficiem terrae, apparuit in solitudine minutum, et quasi pilo tusum in similitudinem pruinae super terram.
15 And when the sons of Israel saw it, they said one to another, What is it? For they knew not what it was. And Moses said to them, It is the bread which Jehovah has given you to eat.
Quod cum vidissent filii Israel, dixerunt ad invicem: Manhu? quod significat: Quid est hoc? ignorabant enim quid esset. Quibus ait Moyses: Iste est panis, quem Dominus dedit vobis ad vescendum.
16 This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded, Gather ye of it every man according to his eating, an omer a head. According to the number of your persons, ye shall take it, every man for those who are in his tent.
Hic est sermo, quem praecepit Dominus: Colligat unusquisque ex eo quantum sufficit ad vescendum: gomor per singula capita, iuxta numerum animarum vestrarum quae habitant in tabernaculo sic tolletis.
17 And the sons of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
Feceruntque ita filii Israel: et collegerunt, alius plus, alius minus.
18 And when they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.
Et mensi sunt ad mensuram gomor: nec qui plus collegerat, habuit amplius: nec qui minus paraverat, reperit minus: sed singuli iuxta id quod edere poterant, congregaverunt.
19 And Moses said to them, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
Dixitque Moyses ad eos: Nullus relinquat ex eo in mane.
20 Notwithstanding they did not hearken to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul, and Moses was angry with them.
Qui non audierunt eum, sed dimiserunt quidam ex eis usque mane, et scatere coepit vermibus, atque computruit. et iratus est contra eos Moyses.
21 And they gathered it morning by morning, every man according to his eating. And when the sun grew hot, it melted.
Colligebant autem mane singuli, quantum sufficere poterat ad vescendum: cumque incaluisset sol, liquefiebat.
22 And it came to pass, that 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.
In die autem sexta collegerunt cibos duplices, id est, duo gomor per singulos homines: venerunt autem omnes principes multitudinis, et narraverunt Moysi.
23 And he said to them, This is that which Jehovah has spoken, Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy sabbath to Jehovah. Bake that which ye will bake, and boil that which ye will boil, and all that remains over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
Qui ait eis: Hoc est quod locutus est Dominus: Requies sabbati sanctificata est Domino cras. quodcumque operandum est, facite: et quae coquenda sunt coquite: quidquid autem reliquum fuerit, reponite usque in mane.
24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade, and it did not become foul, neither was there any worm in it.
Feceruntque ita ut praeceperat Moyses, et non computruit, neque vermis inventus est in eo.
25 And Moses said, Eat that today, for today is a sabbath to Jehovah. Today ye shall not find it in the field.
Dixitque Moyses: Comedite illud hodie, quia sabbatum est Domini: non invenietur hodie in agro.
26 Six days ye shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the sabbath, there shall be none in it.
Sex diebus colligite: in die autem septimo sabbatum est Domini, idcirco non invenietur.
27 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.
Venitque septima dies: et egressi de populo ut colligerent, non invenerunt.
28 And Jehovah said to Moses, How long do ye refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?
Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: Usquequo non vultis custodire mandata mea, et legem meam?
29 See, because Jehovah has given you the sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days. Abide ye every man in his place. Let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
Videte quod Dominus dederit vobis sabbatum, et propter hoc die sexta tribuit vobis cibos duplices: maneat unusquisque apud semetipsum: nullus egrediatur de loco suo die septimo.
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Et sabbatizavit populus die septimo.
31 And the house of Israel called the name of it Manna. And it was like coriander seed, white, and the taste of it was like wafers with honey.
Appellavitque domus Israel nomen eius Man: quod erat quasi semen coriandri album, gustusque eius quasi similae cum melle.
32 And Moses said, This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded. Let an omerful of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.
Dixit autem Moyses: Iste est sermo, quem praecepit Dominus: Imple gomor ex eo, et custodiatur in futuras retro generationes: ut noverint panem, quo alui vos in solitudine, quando educti estis de Terra Aegypti.
33 And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omerful of manna in it, and lay it up before Jehovah, to be kept throughout your generations.
Dixitque Moyses ad Aaron: Sume vas unum, et mitte ibi Man, quantum potest capere gomor: et repone coram Domino ad servandum in generationes vestras:
34 As Jehovah commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
sicut praecepit Dominus Moysi. Posuitque illud Aaron in tabernaculo reservandum.
35 And the sons of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited. They ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.
Filii autem Israel comederunt Man quadraginta annis, donec venirent in terram habitabilem: hoc cibo aliti sunt, usquequo tangerent fines terrae Chanaan.
36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
Gomor autem decima pars est ephi.
