Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

Mem.

³¹ The house of ^(A)Israel named it ^[a]manna, and it was like ^(B)coriander seed, white, and its taste was like wafers with honey. ³² Then Moses said, “This is ^[b]what the Lord has commanded, ‘Let an omerful of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread that I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’” ³³ Moses said to Aaron, “^(C)Take a jar and put an omerful of manna in it, and place it before the Lord to be kept throughout your generations.” ³⁴ As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron placed it before ^(D)the Testimony, to be kept. ^35 (E)The sons of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land; they ate the manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan.
