⁴ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I will rain ^(A)bread from heaven for you. And the people shall go out and gather ^[a]a certain quota every day, that I may ^(B)test them, whether they will ^(C)walk in My law or not.

¹⁵ So when the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was.

And Moses said to them, ^(A)“This is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat.

³⁵ And the children of Israel ^(A)ate manna ^(B)forty years, ^(C)until they came to an inhabited land; they ate manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan.

³ So He humbled you, ^(A)allowed you to hunger, and ^(B)fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall ^(C)not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.

^31 (A)Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, ^(B)‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ”
