출애굽기(Exodus) 16장

 

1. The whole Israelite community set out

from Elim and came to the Desert of Sin,

which is between Elim and Sinai, on the

fifteenth day of the second month after

they had come out of Egypt.

 

2. In the desert the whole community

grumbled against Moses and Aaron.

 

3. The Israelites said to them, "If only we

had died by the LORD's hand in Egypt!

There we sat around pots of meat and

ate all the food we wanted, but you

have brought us out into this desert to

starve this entire assembly to death."

 

4. Then the LORD said to Moses, "I will rain

dwon bread from heaven for you. The

people are to go out each day and gather

enough for that day. In this way I will test

them and see whether they will follow my

instructions.

 

5. On the sixth day they are to prepare

what they bring in, and that is to be

twice as much as they gather on the

other days."

 

6. So Moses and Aaron said to all the

Israelites, "In the evening you will know

that it was the LORD who brought you

out of Egypt,

 

7. and in the morning you will see the

glory of the LORD, because he has

heard your grumbling against him.

Who are we, that you should grumble

against us?"

 

8. Moses also said, "You will know that

it was the LORD when he gives you

meat to eat in the evening and all the

bread you want in the morning, because

he has heard your grumbling against

him. Who are we? You are not grumbling

against us, but against the LORD."

 

9. Then Moses told Aaron, "Say to the

entire Israelite community, 'Come before

the LORD, for he has heard your

grumbling.'"

 

10. While Aaron was speaking to the whole

Israelite community, they looked toward

the desert, and there was the glory of the

LORD appearing in the cloud.

 

11. The LORD said to Moses,

 

12. "I have heard the grumbling of the

Israelites. Tell them, 'At twilight you will

eat meat, and in the morning you will

be filled with bread. The you will know

that I am the LORD your God.'"

 

13. That evening quail came and covered

the camp, and in the morning there was

a layer of dew around the camp.

 

14. When the dew was gone, thin flakes

like frost on the ground appeared on

the desert floor.

 

15. When the Israelites saw it, they said to

each other, "What is it?" For they did not

know what it was. Moses said to them,

"It is the bread the LORD has given you

to eat.

 

16. This is what the LORD has commanded:

'Each one is to gather as much as he

needs. Take an omer for each person

you have in your tent.'"

 

17. The Israelites did as they were told;

some gathered much, some little.

 

18. And when they measured it by the

omer, he who gathered much did not

have too much, and he who gathered

little did not have too little. Each one

gathered as much as he needed.

 

19. Then Moses said to them, "No one

is to keep any of it until morning."

 

20. However, some of them paid no

attention to Moses; they kept part of it

until morning, but it was full of maggots

and began to smell. So Moses was angry

with them.

 

21. Each morning everyone gathered as

much as he needed, and when the sun

grew hot, it melted away.

 

22. On the sixth day, they gathered twice

as much--two omers for each person--and

the leaders of the community came and

reported this to Moses.

 

23. He said to them, "This is what the

LORD commanded: 'Tomorrow is to be a

day of rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD.

So bake what you want to bake and boil

what you want to boil. Save whatever

is left and keep it until morning.'"

 

24. So they saved it until morning, as

Moses commanded, and it did not stink

or get maggots in it.

 

25. "Eat it today," Moses said, "because

today is a Sabbath to the LORD. You

will not find any of it on the ground

today.

 

26. Six days you are to gather it, but on

the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will

not be any."

 

27. Nevertheless, some of the people

went out on the seventh day to gather

it, but they found none.

 

28. Then the LORD said to Moses, "How

long will you refuse to keep my

commands and my instructions?

 

29. Bear in mind that the LORD has given

you the Sabbath; that is why on the sixth

day he gives you bread for two days.

Everyone is to stay where he is on the

seventh day; no one is to go out."

 

30. So the people rested on the seventh

day.

 

31. The people of Israel called the bread

manna. It was white like coriander seed

and tasted like wafers made with honey.

 

32. Moses said, "This is what the LORD

has commanded: 'Take an omer of manna

and keep it for the generations to come,

so they can see the bread I gave you to

eat in the desert when I brought you out

of Egypt.'"

 

33. So Moses said to Aaron, "Take a jar

and put an omer of manna in it. Then

place it before the LORD to be kept for

the generations to come."

 

34. As the LORD commanded Moses,

Aaron put the manna in front of the

Testimony, that it might be kept.

 

35. The Israelites ate manna forty years,

until they came to a land that was settled;

they ate manna until they reached the

border of Canaan.

 

36. (An omer is one tenth of an ephah.)
