Exodus 16
1 And they set out from Elim. And the entire multitude of the sons of Israel arrived at the desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month, after they departed from the land of Egypt.
profectique sunt de Helim et venit omnis multitudo filiorum Israhel in desertum Sin quod est inter Helim et Sinai quintodecimo die mensis secundi postquam egressi sunt de terra Aegypti
2 And the entire congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.
et murmuravit omnis congregatio filiorum Israhel contra Mosen et contra Aaron in solitudine
3 And the sons of Israel said to them: “If only we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat around bowls of meat and ate bread until filled. Why have you led us away, into this desert, so that you might kill the entire multitude with famine?”
dixeruntque ad eos filii Israhel utinam mortui essemus per manum Domini in terra Aegypti quando sedebamus super ollas carnium et comedebamus panes in saturitate cur eduxistis nos in desertum istud ut occideretis omnem multitudinem fame
4 Then the Lord said to Moses: “Behold, I will rain down bread from heaven for you. Let the people go out and collect what is sufficient for each day, so that I may test them, as to whether or not they will walk in my law.
dixit autem Dominus ad Mosen ecce ego pluam vobis panes de caelo egrediatur populus et colligat quae sufficiunt per singulos dies ut temptem eum utrum ambulet in lege mea an non
5 But on the sixth day, let them prepare what they use for carrying, and let there be double what they were accustomed to collect on a single day.”
die autem sexta parent quod inferant et sit duplum quam colligere solebant per singulos dies
6 And Moses and Aaron said to the sons of Israel: “In the evening, you will know that the Lord has led you away from the land of Egypt.
dixeruntque Moses et Aaron ad omnes filios Israhel vespere scietis quod Dominus eduxerit vos de terra Aegypti
7 And in the morning, you will see the glory of the Lord. For he has heard your murmuring against the Lord. But as for us, truly what are we, that you would whisper against us?”
et mane videbitis gloriam Domini audivit enim murmur vestrum contra Dominum nos vero quid sumus quia mussitatis contra nos
8 And Moses said: “In the evening, the Lord will give you flesh to eat, and in the morning, bread in fullness. For he has heard your murmurings that you have murmured against him. For what are we? Your murmuring is not against us, but against the Lord.”
et ait Moses dabit Dominus vobis 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 Moses also said to Aaron: “Say to the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, ‘Approach before the Lord. For he has heard your murmuring.’”
dixitque Moses ad Aaron dic universae congregationi filiorum Israhel accedite coram Domino audivit enim murmur vestrum
10 And when Aaron spoke to the entire assembly of the sons of Israel, they looked out toward the wilderness. And behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in a cloud.
cumque loqueretur Aaron ad omnem coetum filiorum Israhel respexerunt ad solitudinem et ecce gloria Domini apparuit in nube
11 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
locutus est autem Dominus ad Mosen dicens
12 “I have heard the murmuring of the sons of Israel. Say to them: ‘In the evening, you will eat flesh, and in the morning, you will be filled with bread. And you shall know that I am the Lord your God.’”
audivi murmurationes filiorum Israhel loquere ad eos vespere comedetis carnes et mane saturabimini panibus scietisque quod sim Dominus Deus vester
13 Therefore, it happened in the evening: quails, rising up, covered the camp. Likewise, in the morning, a dew lay all around the camp.
factum est ergo vespere et ascendens coturnix operuit castra mane quoque ros iacuit per circuitum castrorum
14 And when it had covered the face of the earth, it appeared, in the wilderness, small and as if crushed with a pestle, similar to hoar-frost on the ground.
cumque operuisset superficiem terrae apparuit in solitudine minutum et quasi pilo tunsum in similitudinem pruinae super terram
15 When the sons of Israel had seen it, they said one to another: “Manhu?” which means “What is this?” For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them: “This is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat.
quod cum vidissent filii Israhel dixerunt ad invicem man hu quod significat quid est hoc ignorabant enim quid esset quibus ait Moses iste est panis quem dedit Dominus vobis ad vescendum
16 This is the word that the Lord has instructed. Let each one collect as much of it as is sufficient to eat. One omer for each head. According to the number of your souls which live in a tent, so will you take of it.”
hic est sermo quem praecepit Dominus colligat ex eo unusquisque quantum sufficiat 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 they collected: some more, others less.
feceruntque ita filii Israhel et collegerunt alius plus alius minus
18 And they measured by the measure of an omer. He who collected more, did not have too much; nor did he who prepared less, find too little. But each one gathered according to what they were able to eat.
et mensi sunt ad mensuram gomor nec qui plus collegerat habuit amplius nec qui minus paraverat repperit minus sed singuli iuxta id quod edere poterant congregarunt
19 And Moses said to them, “Let no one leave any of it behind until morning.”
dixitque Moses ad eos nullus relinquat ex eo in mane
20 And they did not listen to him, but they left some of it behind until morning, and it began to swarm with worms, and it putrefied. And Moses became angry against them.
qui non audierunt eum sed dimiserunt quidam ex eis usque mane et scatere coepit vermibus atque conputruit et iratus est contra eos Moses
21 Then each one collected, in the morning, as much as would be sufficient to eat. And after the sun became hot, it melted.
colligebant autem mane singuli quantum sufficere poterat ad vescendum cumque incaluisset sol liquefiebat
22 But on the sixth day, they collected a double portion, that is, two omers for each man. Then all the leaders among the multitude came, and they discoursed with Moses.
in die vero sexta collegerunt cibos duplices id est duo gomor per singulos homines venerunt autem omnes principes multitudinis et narraverunt Mosi
23 And he said to them: “This is what the Lord has spoken: Tomorrow, the rest day of the Sabbath, has been sanctified to the Lord. Whatever would be done, do it now. And whatever would be cooked, cook it now. Then anything that will have been left over, store it until morning.”
qui ait eis hoc est quod locutus est Dominus requies sabbati sanctificata erit Domino cras quodcumque operandum est facite et quae coquenda sunt coquite quicquid autem reliquum fuerit reponite usque in mane
24 And they did just as Moses had instructed, and it did not putrefy, nor were there any worms found in it.
feceruntque ita ut praeceperat Moses et non conputruit neque vermis inventus est in eo
25 And Moses said: “Eat it today, because it is the Sabbath of the Lord. Today it will not be found in the field.
dixitque Moses comedite illud hodie quia sabbatum est Domino non invenietur hodie in agro
26 Gather for six days. But on the seventh day, it is the Sabbath of the Lord, for which reason it will not be found.”
sex diebus colligite in die autem septimo sabbatum est Domino idcirco non invenietur
27 And the seventh day arrived. And some of the people, going out to collect it, did not find it.
venit septima dies et egressi de populo ut colligerent non invenerunt
28 Then the Lord said to Moses: “How long will you be unwilling to keep my commandments and my law?
dixit autem Dominus ad Mosen usquequo non vultis custodire mandata mea et legem meam
29 See how the Lord has given you the Sabbath, and, because of this, on the sixth day he distributes to you a double portion. Let each one remain with his own, and let no one go forth from his place on the seventh day.”
videte quod Dominus dederit vobis sabbatum et propter hoc tribuerit vobis die sexto cibos duplices maneat unusquisque apud semet ipsum nullus egrediatur de loco suo die septimo
30 And the people kept the Sabbath on the seventh day.
et sabbatizavit populus die septimo
31 And the house of Israel called its name ‘Manna.’ It was like white coriander seed, and its taste was like wheat flour with honey.
appellavitque domus Israhel nomen eius man quod erat quasi semen coriandri album gustusque eius quasi similae cum melle
32 Then Moses said: “This is the word that the Lord has instructed: Fill an omer of it, and let it be kept for future generations hereafter, so that they may know the bread, with which I nourished you in the wilderness, when you had been led away from the land of Egypt.”
dixit autem Moses 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 one vessel, and put manna into it, as much as an omer is able to hold. And store it in the sight of the Lord, to keep for your generations,
dixitque Moses ad Aaron sume vas unum et mitte ibi man quantum potest capere gomor et repone coram Domino ad servandum in generationes vestras
34 just as the Lord instructed Moses.” And so, Aaron placed it in the tabernacle, in reserve.
sicut praecepit Dominus Mosi posuitque illud Aaron in tabernaculo reservandum
35 Now the sons of Israel ate manna for forty years, until they arrived in a habitable land. With this food they were nourished, even until they touched the borders of the land of Canaan.
filii autem Israhel comederunt man quadraginta annis donec venirent in terram habitabilem hoc cibo aliti sunt usquequo tangerent fines terrae Chanaan
36 Now an omer is a tenth part of an ephah.
gomor autem decima pars est oephi
