And they came to Elim
where were twelve wells of water and seventy date trees, and they
pitched there by the water.
Chapter .xvi.
And they took their journey from Elim, and all the whole company
of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which
lieth between Elim and Sinai: the fifteenth day of the second
month after that they were come out of the land of Egypt. And the
hole multitude of the children of Israel murmured against Moses
and Aaron in the wilderness, and said unto them: would to God we
had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat
by the flesh pots, and ate bread our bellies' full for ye have
brought us out into this wilderness to kill this hole multitude
for hunger. Then said the LORD unto Moses: behold, I will rain
bread from heaven down to you, and let the people go out, and
gather day by day, that I may prove them whether they will walk in
my law or no. The sixth day let them prepare that which they will
bring in, and let it be twice as much as they gather in daily. And
Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel: at even ye
shall know that it is the LORD, which brought you out of the land
of Egypt, and in the morning ye shall see the glory of the LORD:
because he hath heard your grudgings against the LORD: for what
are we that ye should murmur against us? And moreover spake Moses:
At evening the LORD will give you flesh to eat, and in the morning
bread enough, because the LORD hath heard your murmur which ye
murmur against him: for what are we? your murmuring is not against
us, but against the LORD.
