Exodus 16
1 And they journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the sons of Israel come to the wilderness of Sin, which [is] between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month of their going out from 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 all the congregation of the sons of Israel murmur 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 say to them, “Oh that we had died by the hand of YHWH in the land of Egypt, in our sitting by the flesh-pot, in our eating bread to satiety—for you have brought us out to this wilderness to put all this assembly to death 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 And YHWH says to Moses, “Behold, I am raining bread from the heavens for you—and the people have gone out and gathered the matter of a day in its day—so that I try them whether they 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 has been on the sixth day, that they have prepared that which they bring in, and it has been double above that which they gather day [by] day.”
Die autem sexto parent quod inferant: et sit duplum quam colligere solebant per singulos dies.
6 And Moses says—Aaron also—to all the sons of Israel, “Evening—and you have known that YHWH 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 morning—and you have seen the glory of YHWH, in His hearing your murmurings against YHWH, and what [are] we, that you 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 says, “In YHWH’s giving to you flesh to eat in the evening, and bread in the morning to satiety—in YHWH’s hearing your murmurings, which you are murmuring against Him, and what [are] we? Your murmurings [are] not against us, but against YHWH.”
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 says to Aaron, “Say to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, Come near before YHWH, 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 comes to pass, when Aaron is speaking to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, that they turn toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of YHWH is seen in the cloud.
Cumque loqueretur Aaron ad omnem coetum filiorum Israel, respexerunt ad solitudinem: et ecce gloria Domini apparuit in nube.
11 And YHWH speaks 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, Between the evenings you eat flesh, and in the morning you are satisfied [with] bread, and you have known that I [am] your God YHWH.”
Audivi murmurationes filiorum Israel, loquere ad eos: Vespere comedetis carnes, et mane saturabimini panibus: scietisque quod ego sum Dominus Deus vester.
13 And it comes to pass in the evening, that the quail comes up, and covers the camp, and in the morning there has been the lying of dew around the camp,
Factum est ergo vespere, et ascendens coturnix, cooperuit castra: mane quoque ros iacuit per circuitum castrorum.
14 and the lying of the dew goes up, and behold, on the face of the wilderness [is] a thin, bare thing, thin as hoarfrost on the earth.
Cumque operuisset superficiem terrae, apparuit in solitudine minutum, et quasi pilo tusum in similitudinem pruinae super terram.
15 And the sons of Israel see, and say to one another, “What [is] it?” For they have not known what it [is]; and Moses says to them, “It [is] the bread which YHWH has given to you for food.
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 YHWH has commanded: Gather of it, each according to his eating, an omer for the counted head; and the number of your persons, take, each, for those 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 do so, and they gather, he who is [gathering] much, and he who is [gathering] little;
Feceruntque ita filii Israel: et collegerunt, alius plus, alius minus.
18 and they measure with an omer, and he who is [gathering] much has nothing over, and he who is [gathering] little has no lack, each according to his eating they have gathered.
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 says to them, “Let no man leave of it until morning”;
Dixitque Moyses ad eos: Nullus relinquat ex eo in mane.
20 and they have not listened to Moses, and some of them leave of it until morning, and it brings up worms and stinks; and Moses is 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 gather it morning by morning, each according to his eating; when the sun has been warm, then it has melted.
Colligebant autem mane singuli, quantum sufficere poterat ad vescendum: cumque incaluisset sol, liquefiebat.
22 And it comes to pass on the sixth day, they have gathered a second bread, two omers for one, and all the princes of the congregation come in, and declare [it] to 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 says to them, “It [is] that which YHWH has spoken: A rest—a holy Sabbath to YHWH—[is] tomorrow; that which you bake, bake; and that which you boil, boil; and all that is remaining, let [it] rest for yourselves for preservation 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 let it rest until the morning, as Moses has commanded, and it has not stunk, and a worm has not been in it.
Feceruntque ita ut praeceperat Moyses, et non computruit, neque vermis inventus est in eo.
25 And Moses says, “Eat it today, for today [is] a Sabbath to YHWH; today you do not find it in the field:
Dixitque Moyses: Comedite illud hodie, quia sabbatum est Domini: non invenietur hodie in agro.
26 six days you gather it, and in the seventh day—the Sabbath—there is none in it.”
Sex diebus colligite: in die autem septimo sabbatum est Domini, idcirco non invenietur.
27 And it comes to pass on the seventh day, some of the people have gone out to gather, and have not found.
Venitque septima dies: et egressi de populo ut colligerent, non invenerunt.
28 And YHWH says to Moses, “How long have you refused to keep My commands and My laws?
Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: Usquequo non vultis custodire mandata mea, et legem meam?
29 See, because YHWH has given the Sabbath to you, therefore He is giving to you on the sixth day bread of two days; each abide [in] his place, no one goes out from 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 And the people rest on the seventh day,
Et sabbatizavit populus die septimo.
31 and the house of Israel calls its name Manna, and it [is] as white coriander seed; and its taste [is] as a cake with honey.
Appellavitque domus Israel nomen eius Man: quod erat quasi semen coriandri album, gustusque eius quasi similae cum melle.
32 And Moses says, “This [is] the thing which YHWH has commanded: Fill the omer with it, for a charge for your generations, so that they see the bread which I have caused you to eat in the wilderness, in My bringing you out 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 says to Aaron, “Take one pot, and put the fullness of the omer of manna [in] there, and let it rest before YHWH, for a charge for 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 YHWH has given command to Moses, so Aaron lets it rest before the Testimony, for a charge.
sicut praecepit Dominus Moysi. Posuitque illud Aaron in tabernaculo reservandum.
35 And the sons of Israel have eaten the manna [for] forty years, until their coming to the land to be inhabited; they have eaten the manna until their coming to the extremity 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 And the omer is a tenth of the ephah.
Gomor autem decima pars est ephi.
