Exodus 16:13-17

English Standard Version

¹³ In the evening ^(A)quail came up and covered the camp, and in the morning ^(B)dew lay around the camp. ¹⁴ And when the dew had gone up, there was on the face of the wilderness a fine, flake-like thing, fine as frost on the ground. ¹⁵ When the people of Israel saw it, they said to one another, ^(C)“What is it?”^[a] For they ^(D)did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, ^(E)“It is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat. ¹⁶ This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Gather of it, each one of you, as much as he can eat. You shall each take an ^(F)omer,^[b] according to the number of the persons that each of you has in his tent.’” ¹⁷ And the people of Israel did so. They gathered, some more, some less.
