Exodus 16:2-4
Lexham English Bible
2 And all the community of the Israelites[a] grumbled against Moses and against Aaron in the desert. 3 And the Israelites[b] said to them, “If only we had died[c] by the hand of Yahweh in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots[d] of meat, when we ate bread until we were full,[e] because you have brought us out to this desert to kill all of this assembly with hunger.” 4 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Look, I am going to rain down for you bread from the heavens, and the people will go out and gather enough for the day on its day; in that way I will test them: Will they go according to my law or not?
