Notwithstanding there went out of the people in the seventh day
for to gather: but they found none. Then the LORD said unto Moses:
how long shall it be, yer ye will keep my commandments and laws?
See because the LORD hath given you a Sabbath, therefore he giveth
you the sixth day bread for two days. Bide therefore every man at
home, and let no man go out of his place the seventh day. And the
people rested the seventh day. And the house of Israel called it
Man. And it was like unto Coriander seed and white, and the taste
of it was like unto wafers made with honey. And Moses said: this
is that which the LORD commandeth: fill a gomer of it, that it may
be kept for your children after you: that they may see the bread
wherewith he fed you in wilderness, when he had brought you out of
the land of Egypt. And Moses spake unto Aaron: take a cruse and
put a gomer full of Man therein, and lay it up before the LORD to
be kept for your children after you, as the LORD commanded Moses.
And Aaron laid it up before the testimony there to be kept. And
the children of Israel ate man forty years until they came unto a
land inhabited. And so they ate Man, even until they came unto the
borders of the land of Canaan, and a gomer is the tenth part of an
Epha.
