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.

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.

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 Aaron in the wilderness:

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?

And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God that we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pot, when we ate bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.

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 said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will let rain for you bread from heaven; and the people shall go out and gather a certain portion every day, in order that I may prove it, whether it will walk in my law, or not.

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

And it shall come to pass, on the sixth day, when they prepare what they shall have brought in, that it shall be twice as much as they shall gather daily.

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

And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At evening, then shall ye know that it is the Lord who hath brought you out from 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, then shall ye see the glory of the Lord; since he heareth your murmurings against the Lord; and what are we, that ye should murmur against us?

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.

And Moses said, When the Lord giveth you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning to the full; since the Lord heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: —what are we then? not against us are your murmurings, but against the Lord.

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

And Moses said unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near 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.

And it came to pass, as Aaron was speaking unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they turned round toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud.

11 Locutus est autem Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:

And the Lord spoke unto 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 have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, Toward evening ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the Eternal your God.

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

And it came to pass, that at evening the quails came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning there was a layer of dew round about the camp.

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

And when the layer of dew was gone up, behold, there was upon the face of the wilderness something fine in grains, small as the hoar-frost, on the ground.

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 saw it, they said one to another, It is manna, for they knew not what it was; and Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat.

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 every man according to his eating: an omer for every head, according to the number of your persons that every man hath in his tent, shall ye take.

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

And the children of Israel did so; and they gathered, some much, some little.

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 measured it with an omer, he that had gathered much had nothing over, and he that had gathered little had no lack: every man according to his eating, had they gathered.

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

And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the 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.

But they hearkened not unto Moses; but some men left of it until morning, and it bred worms, and stank; and Moses was wroth with them.

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

And so they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating; and when the sun waxed hot, it 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 it came to pass on the sixth day, that they gathered twofold bread, two omers for every one; all the rulers of the congregation came and told it to 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 said unto them. This is what the Lord hath spoken, A rest, a holy rest is unto the Lord tomorrow: that which ye will bake bake today, and what ye will seethe seethe today; and all the remaining lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

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

And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses had bidden; and it did not stink, nor was there any worm therein.

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

And Moses said, Eat it today; for a sabbath is this day unto the Lord: today ye will not find it in the field.

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

Six days shall ye gather it; but on the seventh day, the sabbath, on it there shall be none.

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

And it came to pass on the seventh day, that there went out some of the people to gather; but they found nothing.

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

And the Lord said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?

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.

See, that the Lord hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day bread for two days; remain ye, every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.

30 Et sabbatizavit populus die septimo.

So the people rested on the seventh 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 thereof Manna, [[Man]]; and it was like coriander-seed, white, and its taste was like wafers made with honey.

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 the thing which the Lord hath commanded, One omer-full of it is to be kept for your generations; in order that they may see the bread which I gave you to eat in the wilderness, when I brought you forth 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:

And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a flask, and put therein an omer-full of manna, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your generations.

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

As the Lord had commanded Moses, so did Aaron lay it up before the Testimony, 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 ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land; the manna they did eat, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.

36 Gomor autem decima pars est ephi.

But the omer is a tenth part of an ephah.
