Exodus 16

The Israelites journey from Elim, and come to the wilderness of Sin, Exodus 16:1 . They murmur for lack of bread, Exodus 16:2 , Exodus 16:3 . God promises to rain bread from heaven for them, Exodus 16:4 , of which they were to collect a double portion on the sixth day, Exodus 16:5 . A miraculous supply of flesh in the evening and bread in the morning, promised, Exodus 16:6-9 . The glory of the Lord appears in the cloud, Exodus 16:10 . Flesh and bread promised as a proof of God's care over them, Exodus 16:11 , Exodus 16:12 . Quails come and cover the whole camp, Exodus 16:13 . And a dew fell which left a small round substance on the ground, which Moses tells them was the bread which God had sent, Exodus 16:14 , Exodus 16:15 . Directions for gathering it, Exodus 16:16 . The Israelites gather each an omer, Exodus 16:17 , Exodus 16:18 . They are directed to leave none of it till the next day, Exodus 16:19 ; which some neglecting, it become putrid, Exodus 16:20 . They gather it every morning, because it melted when the sun waxed hot, Exodus 16:21 . Each person gathers two omers on the sixth day, Exodus 16:22 . Moses commands them to keep the seventh as a Sabbath to the Lord, Exodus 16:23 . What was laid up for the Sabbath did not putrefy, Exodus 16:24 . Nothing of it fell on that day, hence the strict observance of the Sabbath was enjoined, Exodus 16:25-30 . The Israelites name the substance that fell with the dew manna; its appearance and taste described, Exodus 16:31 . An omer of the manna is commanded to be laid up for a memorial of Jehovah's kindness, Exodus 16:32-34 . The manna now sent continued daily for the space of forty years, Exodus 16:35 . How much an omer contained, Exodus 16:36 .
