Exodus 16
1 And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto 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.
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.
2 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
Og al Israels Børns Menighed knurrede mod Mose og mod Aron i Ørken.
3 And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, [and] when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
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.
4 Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.
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.
5 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare [that] which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
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.
6 And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:
Og Mose og Aron sagde til alle Israels Børn: I Aften skulle I kende, at Herren har udført eder af Ægyptens Land;
7 And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what [are] we, that ye murmur against us?
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?
8 And Moses said, [This shall be], when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what [are] we? your murmurings [are] not against us, but against the LORD.
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.
9 And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.
Og Mose sagde til Aron: Sig til al Israels Børns Menighed: Kommer frem for Herrens Ansigt; thi han har hørt eders Knurren.
10 And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.
Og det skete, der Aron talede til al Israels Børns Menighed, da saa de hen til Ørken; og se, Herrens Herlighed saas i Skyen.
11 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
12 I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD your God.
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.
13 And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.
Og det skete om Aftenen, at der kom Vagtler og bedækkede Lejren, og om Morgenen laa Duggen trindt omkring Lejren.
14 And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness [there lay] a small round thing, [as] small as the hoar frost on the ground.
Og der Duggen, som laa, hævede sig, se, da laa der oven over Ørken noget tyndt, trindt, tyndt som Rimfrost paa Jorden.
15 And when the children of Israel saw [it], they said one to another, It [is] manna: for they wist not what it [was]. And Moses said unto them, This [is] the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.
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.
16 This [is] the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, [according to] the number of your persons; take ye every man for [them] which [are] in his tents.
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.
17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
Og Israels Børn gjorde saa og sankede, en mere og en anden mindre.
18 And when they did mete [it] with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.
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.
19 And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
Og Mose sagde til dem: Ingen skal levne deraf til om Morgenen.
20 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.
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.
21 And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
Og de sankede hver Morgen deraf, hver saa meget, som han kunde æde, men naar Solen skinnede hedt, saa smeltedes det.
22 And it came to pass, [that] on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one [man: ] and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
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.
23 And he said unto them, This [is that] which the LORD hath said, To morrow [is] the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake [that] which ye will bake [to day], and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
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.
24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
Og de lode det ligge til Morgenen, som Mose befalede; og det lugtede ikke ilde, og der var ikke Orm i det.
25 And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day [is] a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.
Da sagde Mose: Æder det i Dag; thi det er Sabbat i Dag for Herren; i Dag skulle I ikke finde det paa Marken.
26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, [which is] the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
Seks Dage skulle I sanke det; men paa den syvende Dag, paa Sabbaten, paa den skal det ikke være at finde.
27 And it came to pass, [that] there went out [some] of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.
Og det skete, paa den syvende Dag gik nogle af Folket ud at sanke, men de fandt intet.
28 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
Da sagde Herren til Mose: Hvor længe vægre I eder ved at holde mine Bud og mine Love?
29 See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth 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.
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.
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Og Folket hvilede paa den syvende Dag.
31 And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it [was] like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it [was] like wafers [made] with honey.
Og Israels Hus kaldte dets Navn Man; og det var ligesom Korianderfrø hvidt og smagte som Honningkage.
32 And Moses said, This [is] the thing which the LORD commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.
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.
33 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.
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.
34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
Ligesom Herren befalede Mose, saa satte Aron det ned for Vidnesbyrdet til at forvares.
35 And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.
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.
36 Now an omer [is] the tenth [part] of an ephah.
Men en Orner er den tiende Part af en Efa.
