Exodus 16
1 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
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.
2 et murmuravit omnis congregatio filiorum Israhel contra Mosen et contra Aaron in solitudine
And all the congregation of the sons of Israel murmur against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;
3 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
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.”
4 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
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;
5 die autem sexta parent quod inferant et sit duplum quam colligere solebant per singulos dies
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.”
6 dixeruntque Moses et Aaron ad omnes filios Israhel vespere scietis quod Dominus eduxerit vos de terra Aegypti
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;
7 et mane videbitis gloriam Domini audivit enim murmur vestrum contra Dominum nos vero quid sumus quia mussitatis contra nos
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?”
8 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
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.”
9 dixitque Moses ad Aaron dic universae congregationi filiorum Israhel accedite coram Domino audivit enim murmur vestrum
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”;
10 cumque loqueretur Aaron ad omnem coetum filiorum Israhel respexerunt ad solitudinem et ecce gloria Domini apparuit in nube
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.
11 locutus est autem Dominus ad Mosen dicens
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
12 audivi murmurationes filiorum Israhel loquere ad eos vespere comedetis carnes et mane saturabimini panibus scietisque quod sim Dominus Deus vester
“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.”
13 factum est ergo vespere et ascendens coturnix operuit castra mane quoque ros iacuit per circuitum castrorum
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,
14 cumque operuisset superficiem terrae apparuit in solitudine minutum et quasi pilo tunsum in similitudinem pruinae super terram
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.
15 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
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.
16 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
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.”
17 feceruntque ita filii Israhel et collegerunt alius plus alius minus
And the sons of Israel do so, and they gather, he who is [gathering] much, and he who is [gathering] little;
18 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
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.
19 dixitque Moses ad eos nullus relinquat ex eo in mane
And Moses says to them, “Let no man leave of it until morning”;
20 qui non audierunt eum sed dimiserunt quidam ex eis usque mane et scatere coepit vermibus atque conputruit et iratus est contra eos Moses
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.
21 colligebant autem mane singuli quantum sufficere poterat ad vescendum cumque incaluisset sol liquefiebat
And they gather it morning by morning, each according to his eating; when the sun has been warm, then it has melted.
22 in die vero sexta collegerunt cibos duplices id est duo gomor per singulos homines venerunt autem omnes principes multitudinis et narraverunt Mosi
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.
23 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
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.”
24 feceruntque ita ut praeceperat Moses et non conputruit neque vermis inventus est in eo
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.
25 dixitque Moses comedite illud hodie quia sabbatum est Domino non invenietur hodie in agro
And Moses says, “Eat it today, for today [is] a Sabbath to YHWH; today you do not find it in the field:
26 sex diebus colligite in die autem septimo sabbatum est Domino idcirco non invenietur
six days you gather it, and in the seventh day—the Sabbath—there is none in it.”
27 venit septima dies et egressi de populo ut colligerent non invenerunt
And it comes to pass on the seventh day, some of the people have gone out to gather, and have not found.
28 dixit autem Dominus ad Mosen usquequo non vultis custodire mandata mea et legem meam
And YHWH says to Moses, “How long have you refused to keep My commands and My laws?
29 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
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.”
30 et sabbatizavit populus die septimo
And the people rest on the seventh day,
31 appellavitque domus Israhel nomen eius man quod erat quasi semen coriandri album gustusque eius quasi similae cum melle
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.
32 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
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.”
33 dixitque Moses ad Aaron sume vas unum et mitte ibi man quantum potest capere gomor et repone coram Domino ad servandum in generationes vestras
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”;
34 sicut praecepit Dominus Mosi posuitque illud Aaron in tabernaculo reservandum
as YHWH has given command to Moses, so Aaron lets it rest before the Testimony, for a charge.
35 filii autem Israhel comederunt man quadraginta annis donec venirent in terram habitabilem hoc cibo aliti sunt usquequo tangerent fines terrae Chanaan
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.
36 gomor autem decima pars est oephi
And the omer is a tenth of the ephah.
