Exodus 16:2-4

Contemporary English Version

² There in the desert they started complaining to Moses and Aaron, ³ “We wish the Lord had killed us in Egypt. When we lived there, we could at least sit down and eat all the bread and meat we wanted. But you have brought us out here into this desert, where we are going to starve.”

^4 (A) The Lord said to Moses, “I will send bread^[a] down from heaven like rain. Tell the people to go out each day and gather only enough for that day. That's how I will see if they obey me.
