Exodus 16:14-16
Legacy Standard Bible
14 (A)Then the layer of dew [a]evaporated, and behold, on the [b]surface of the wilderness (B)there was a fine flake-like thing, fine as the frost on the ground. 15 And the sons of Israel saw it and said to one another, “[c]What is it?” For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, “(C)It is the bread which Yahweh has given you to eat. 16 This is [d]what Yahweh has commanded, ‘Gather of it every man [e]as much as he should eat; you shall take an [f](D)omer apiece according to the number of persons each of you has in his tent.’”
