Ex. 16:2‑3,12‑35• 2And the whole assembly of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness.
 3And the children of Israel said to them, Would that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we ate bread to the full; for ye have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole congregation with hunger!
 12I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak to them, saying, Between the two evenings ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah your God.
 13And it came to pass in the evening, that quails came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay round the camp.
 14And when the dew that lay round it was gone up, behold, on the face of the wilderness there was something fine, granular, fine as hoar-frost, on the ground.
 15And the children of Israel saw it, and said one to another, What is it? for they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, This is the bread which Jehovah has given you to eat.
 16This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded: Gather of it every man according to what he can eat, an omer a poll, according to the number of your persons: ye shall take every man for those that are in his tent.
 17And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some much, some little.
 18And they measured with the omer: then he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little wanted nothing: they had gathered every man according to the measure of his eating.
 19And Moses said to them, Let no man leave any of it until the morning.
 20But they did not hearken to Moses; and some men left of it until the morning; then worms bred in it and it stank. And Moses was wroth with them.
 21And they gathered it every morning, every man as much as he could eat; and when the sun became hot, it melted.
 22And it came to pass on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one; and all the princes of the assembly came and told Moses.
 23And he said to them, This is what Jehovah has said: To-morrow is the rest, the holy sabbath, of Jehovah: bake what ye will bake, and cook what ye will cook; and lay up for yourselves all that remains over, to be kept for the morning.
 24And they laid it up for the morning, as Moses had commanded; and it did not stink, neither was there any worm in it.
 25And Moses said, Eat it to-day; for to-day is sabbath to Jehovah: to-day ye shall not find it in the field.
 26Six days shall ye gather it; but on the seventh day is sabbath: on it there shall be none.
 27And it came to pass on the seventh day that there went out some from the people to gather it, and they found none.
 28And Jehovah said to Moses, How long do ye refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?
 29See, for Jehovah hath given you the sabbath; therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread for two days. Abide every man in his place: let no man go from his place on the seventh day.
 30And the people rested on the seventh day.
 31And the house of Israel called its name Manna; and it was like coriander-seed, white; and the taste of it was like cake with honey.
 32And Moses said, This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded: Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread that I gave you to eat in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.
 33And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot, and put in it an omer full of manna, and deposit it before Jehovah, to be kept for your generations.
 34As Jehovah had commanded Moses, so Aaron deposited it before the Testimony, to be kept.
 35And the children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came into an inhabited land: they ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan. (Ex. 16:2‑3,12‑35)

 6So that, taking courage, we may say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not be afraid: what will man do unto me? (Heb. 13:5‑6)
• This is precisely what does put man to the proof morally. The word of God tests whether he submits to it, whether he lives on it, whether he delights in it, whether his meat is to do the will of God as the Lord Jesus proved His meat was. (“Deuteronomy 8” by W. Kelly)
