Exodus 16:2-4
New American Standard Bible
2 But the whole congregation of the sons of Israel (A)grumbled against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. 3 The sons of Israel said to them, “(B)If only we had died by the Lord’s hand in the land of Egypt, (C)when we sat by the pots of meat, when we ate bread until we were full; for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this entire assembly with hunger!”
4 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, (D)I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, so that I may (E)test them, whether or not they will walk in My [a]instruction.

2 In the desert the whole community grumbled(A) against Moses and Aaron. 3 The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the Lord’s hand in Egypt!(B) There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food(C) we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death.”(D)
4 Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven(E) for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test(F) them and see whether they will follow my instructions.
