97 ¶ O how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
98 ¶ Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies, for they are eternal unto me.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers, for thy testimonies have been my meditation.
100 I understand more than the elders because I keep thy precepts.
101 ¶ I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
102 ¶ I have not departed from thy judgments, for thou hast taught me.
103 ¶ How sweet have been thy spoken words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Through thy precepts I have obtained understanding; therefore I have hated every false way.

32 ¶ And Moses said, This is what the LORD has commanded, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your descendants, that they may see the bread with which I have fed you in the wilderness when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.
33 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot and put an omer full of manna in it and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your descendants.
34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
35 Thus the sons of Israel ate manna forty years until they came to a land inhabited; they ate manna until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.
