Exodus 16:1-8

Yahweh Rains Bread from Heaven

Then they set out from Elim, and all the congregation of the sons of Israel came to the wilderness of ^aSin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on ^bthe fifteenth day of the second month after their departure from the land of Egypt. 2 And the whole congregation of the sons of Israel ^agrumbled against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. 3 And the sons of Israel said to them, “^aWould that we had died by the hand of Yahweh in the land of Egypt, ^bwhen we sat by the pots of ¹meat, when we ate bread to the full; for you have brought us out into this wilderness to put this whole assembly to death with hunger.”
4 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, ^aI will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, that I may ^btest them, whether or not they will walk in My ¹law. 5 ^aNow it will be on the sixth day, they shall prepare what they bring in, and it will be twice as much as they gather daily.” 6 So Moses and Aaron said to all the sons of Israel, “At evening ¹^ayou will know that Yahweh has brought you out of the land of Egypt; 7 and in the morning ¹you will see ^athe glory of Yahweh, for ^bHe hears your grumblings against Yahweh; and ^cwhat are we, that you grumble against us?”

Yahweh Gives Meat and Bread

8 And Moses said, “This will happen when Yahweh gives you ¹meat to eat in the evening and bread to the full in the morning; for Yahweh hears your grumblings which you grumble against Him. And what are we? Your grumblings are ^anot against us but against Yahweh.”
