Exodus 16

1 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.

Afterward all the Congregation of the children of Israel departed from Elim, and came to the wildernes of Sin, (which is betweene Elim and Sinai) the fiftenth day of the second moneth after their departing out of ye land of Egypt.

2 Et murmuravit omnis congregatio filiorum Israel contra Moysen et Aaron in solitudine.

And the whole Congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wildernesse.

3 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?

For the children of Israel sayde to them, Oh that we had dyed by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when wee sate by the flesh pots, when wee ate bread our bellies full: for yee haue brought vs out into this wildernesse, to kill this whole company with famine.

4 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.

Then sayd the Lord vnto Moses, Behold, I wil cause bread to rayne from heauen to you, and the people shall goe out, and gather that that is sufficient for euery day, that I may proue them, whether they wil walke in my Law or no.

5 Die autem sexto parent quod inferant: et sit duplum quam colligere solebant per singulos dies.

But the sixt daye they shall prepare that, which they shall bring home, and it shalbe twise as much as they gather dayly.

6 Dixeruntque Moyses et Aaron ad omnes filios Israel: Vespere scietis quod Dominus eduxerit vos de terra Aegypti:

Then Moses and Aaron sayde vnto all the children of Israel, At euen ye shall know, that the Lord brought you out of the land of Egypt:

7 et mane videbitis gloriam Domini: audivi enim murmur vestrum contra Dominum: nos vero quid sumus, quia mussitastis contra nos?

And in the morning ye shall see the glorie of the Lord: for he hath heard your grudgings against the Lord: and what are we that ye haue murmured against vs?

8 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.

Againe Moses sayd, At euen shall the Lord giue you flesh to eate, and in the morning your fil of bread: for the Lord hath heard your murmurings, which ye murmure against him: for what are we? your murmurings are not against vs, but against the Lord.

9 Dixit quoque Moyses ad Aaron: Dic universae congregationi filiorum Israel: Accedite coram Domino: audivit enim murmur vestrum.

And Moses sayd to Aaron, Say vnto all the Congregation of the children of Israel, Draw neere before the Lord: for he hath heard your murmurings.

10 Cumque loqueretur Aaron ad omnem coetum filiorum Israel, respexerunt ad solitudinem: et ecce gloria Domini apparuit in nube.

Now as Aaron spake vnto the whole Congregation of the children of Israel, they looked toward the wildernesse, and beholde, the glory of the Lord appeared in a cloude.

11 Locutus est autem Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:

(For the Lord had spoken vnto Moses, saying,

12 Audivi murmurationes filiorum Israel, loquere ad eos: Vespere comedetis carnes, et mane saturabimini panibus: scietisque quod ego sum Dominus Deus vester.

I haue heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: tell them therefore, and say, At euen ye shall eate flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord your God)

13 Factum est ergo vespere, et ascendens coturnix, cooperuit castra: mane quoque ros iacuit per circuitum castrorum.

And so at euen the quailes came and couered the campe: and in the morning the dewe lay round about the hoste.

14 Cumque operuisset superficiem terrae, apparuit in solitudine minutum, et quasi pilo tusum in similitudinem pruinae super terram.

And when the dewe that was fallen was ascended, beholde, a small round thing was vpon the face of the wildernes, small as the hoare frost on the earth.

15 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.

And when the children of Israel sawe it, they sayde one to another, It is MAN, for they wist not what it was. And Moses sayd vnto them, This is the breade which the Lord hath giuen you to eate.

16 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.

This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded: gather of it euery man according to his eating an Omer for a man according to the number of your persons: euery man shall take for them which are in his tent.

17 Feceruntque ita filii Israel: et collegerunt, alius plus, alius minus.

And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some lesse.

18 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.

And when they did measure it with an Omer, hee that had gathered much, had nothing ouer, and he that had gathered litle, had no lacke: so euery man gathered according to his eating.

19 Dixitque Moyses ad eos: Nullus relinquat ex eo in mane.

Moses then said vnto them, Let no man reserue thereof till morning.

20 Qui non audierunt eum, sed dimiserunt quidam ex eis usque mane, et scatere coepit vermibus, atque computruit. et iratus est contra eos Moyses.

Notwithstanding they obeyed not Moses: but some of them reserued of it till morning, and it was full of wormes, and stanke: therefore Moses was angrie with them.

21 Colligebant autem mane singuli, quantum sufficere poterat ad vescendum: cumque incaluisset sol, liquefiebat.

And they gathered it euery morning, euery man according to his eating: for when the heate of the sunne came, it was melted.

22 In die autem sexta collegerunt cibos duplices, id est, duo gomor per singulos homines: venerunt autem omnes principes multitudinis, et narraverunt Moysi.

And the sixt day they gathered twise so much bread, two Omers for one man: then all the rulers of the Congregation came and told Moses.

23 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.

And he answered them, This is that, which the Lord hath sayde, To morowe is the rest of the holy Sabbath vnto the Lord: bake that to day which ye wil bake, and seethe that which ye wil seethe, and all that remaineth, lay it vp to be kept till the morning for you.

24 Feceruntque ita ut praeceperat Moyses, et non computruit, neque vermis inventus est in eo.

And they laied it vp till the morning, as Moses bade, and it stanke not, neyther was there any worme therein.

25 Dixitque Moyses: Comedite illud hodie, quia sabbatum est Domini: non invenietur hodie in agro.

Then Moses sayde, Eate that to day: for to day is the Sabbath vnto the Lord: to day ye shall not finde it in the fielde.

26 Sex diebus colligite: in die autem septimo sabbatum est Domini, idcirco non invenietur.

Sixe dayes shall yee gather it, but in the seuenth day is the Sabbath: in it there shalbe none.

27 Venitque septima dies: et egressi de populo ut colligerent, non invenerunt.

Notwithstanding, there went out some of the people in ye seuenth day for to gather, and they found none.

28 Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: Usquequo non vultis custodire mandata mea, et legem meam?

And the Lord sayde vnto Moses, Howe long refuse yee to keepe my commandements, and my lawes?

29 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.

Beholde, howe the Lord hath giuen you the Sabbath: therefore he giueth you the sixt day bread for two dayes: tary therefore euery man in his place: let no man goe out of his place the seuenth day.

30 Et sabbatizavit populus die septimo.

So the people rested the seuenth day.

31 Appellavitque domus Israel nomen eius Man: quod erat quasi semen coriandri album, gustusque eius quasi similae cum melle.

And the house of Israel called the name of it, MAN. and it was like to coriander seede, but white: and the taste of it was like vnto wafers made with hony.

32 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.

And Moses said, This is that which the Lord hath commanded, Fill an Omer of it, to keepe it for your posteritie: that they may see the bread wherewith I haue fed you in wildernesse, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.

33 Dixitque Moyses ad Aaron: Sume vas unum, et mitte ibi Man, quantum potest capere gomor: et repone coram Domino ad servandum in generationes vestras:

Moses also said to Aaron, Take a pot and put an Omer full of MAN therein, and set it before the Lord to be kept for your posteritie.

34 sicut praecepit Dominus Moysi. Posuitque illud Aaron in tabernaculo reservandum.

As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron laied it vp before the Testimonie to be kept.

35 Filii autem Israel comederunt Man quadraginta annis, donec venirent in terram habitabilem: hoc cibo aliti sunt, usquequo tangerent fines terrae Chanaan.

And the children of Israel did eate MAN fourtie yeres, vntill they came vnto a land inhabited: they did eate MAN vntill they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.

36 Gomor autem decima pars est ephi.

The Omer is the tenth part of the Ephah.
