Ex 16:1Profectīque sunt dē Elim, et vēnit omnis multitūdō fīliōrum Isrāël in dēsertum Sin, quod est inter Elim et Sinai, quīntōdecimō diē mēnsis secundī, postquam ēgressī sunt dē terrā Aegyptī.And they set out from Elim, and all the multitude of the sons of Israel came into the desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month, after they went out of the land of Egypt. Ex 16:2Et murmurāvit omnis congregātiō fīliōrum Isrāël contrā Moysēn et Aarōn in sōlitūdine.And all the congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. Ex 16:3Dīxēruntque fīliī Isrāël ad eōs: Utinam mortuī essēmus per manum Dominī in terrā Aegyptī, quandō sedēbāmus super ollās carnium, et comedēbāmus pānem in saturitāte: cūr ēdūxistis nōs in dēsertum istud, ut occīderētis omnem multitūdinem fame?And the sons of Israel said to them: "Would that we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we were sitting over the pots of meat, and were eating bread to the full: why have you led us out into this desert, to kill the whole multitude with hunger?"
Ex 16:4Dīxit autem Dominus ad Moysēn: Ecce ego pluam vōbīs pānēs dē caelō: ēgrediātur populus, et colligat quae sufficiunt per singulōs diēs: ut tentem eum utrum ambulet in lēge meā, an nōn.But the Lord said to Moses: "Look, I will rain bread for you from the sky: let the people go out, and gather what suffices for each single day: so that I may test it, whether it walks in my law, or not. Ex 16:5Diē autem sextō parent quod īnferant: et sit duplum quam colligere solēbant per singulōs diēs.But on the sixth day let them prepare what they bring in: and let it be double what they used to gather on each single day." Ex 16:6Dīxēruntque Mōysēs et Aarōn ad omnēs fīliōs Isrāël: Vespere sciētis quod Dominus ēdūxerit vōs dē terrā Aegyptī, et māne vidēbitis glōriam Dominī: audīvit enim murmur vestrum contrā Dominum: nōs vērō quid sumus, quia mussitāstis contrā nōs?And Moses and Aaron said to all the sons of Israel: "In the evening you will know that the Lord has led you out of the land of Egypt, and in the morning you will see the glory of the Lord: for he has heard your murmuring against the Lord: but as for us, what are we, that you have muttered against us?"
Ex 16:8Et ait Mōysēs: Dabit vōbīs Dominus vespere carnēs ēdere, et māne pānēs in saturitāte: eō quod audierit murmurātiōnēs vestrās quibus murmurātī estis contrā eum: nōs enim quid sumus?And Moses said: "The Lord will give you in the evening meat to eat, and in the morning bread to the full: because he has heard your murmurings with which you have murmured against him: for what are we? Ex 16:8Nec contrā nōs est murmur vestrum, sed contrā Dominum.Your murmuring is not against us, but against the Lord." Ex 16:9Dīxit quoque Mōysēs ad Aarōn: Dīc ūniversae congregātiōnī fīliōrum Isrāël: Accēdite cōram Dominō: audīvit enim murmur vestrum.Moses also said to Aaron: "Say to all the congregation of the sons of Israel: 'Come near before the Lord: for he has heard your murmuring.'" Ex 16:10Cumque loquerētur Aarōn ad omnem coetum fīliōrum Isrāël, respexērunt ad sōlitūdinem: et ecce glōria Dominī appāruit in nūbe.And when Aaron was speaking to all the assembly of the sons of Israel, they looked towards the wilderness: and look, the glory of the Lord appeared in a cloud. Ex 16:11Locūtus est autem Dominus ad Moysēn, dīcēns: Audīvī murmurātiōnēs fīliōrum Isrāël.And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: "I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel.
Ex 16:12Loquere ad eōs: Vespere comedētis carnēs, et māne saturābiminī pānibus: sciētisque quod ego sum Dominus Deus vester.Speak to them: 'In the evening you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread: and you will know that I am the Lord your God.'" Ex 16:13Factum est ergō vespere, et ascendēns cōturnīx, cooperuit castra: māne quoque rōs jacuit per circuitum castrōrum.So it came to evening, and the quail, coming up, covered the camp: in the morning too dew lay round about the camp. Ex 16:14Cumque operuisset superficiem terrae, appāruit in sōlitūdine minūtum, et quasi pīlō tūsum in similitūdinem pruīnae super terram.And when it had covered the surface of the ground, there appeared in the wilderness something small, and as if pounded with a pestle, in the likeness of hoarfrost upon the ground. Ex 16:15Quod cum vīdissent fīliī Isrāël, dīxērunt ad invicem: Manhu?And when the sons of Israel had seen it, they said to one another: "Manhu?" Ex 16:15Quod significat: Quid est hoc?Which means: "What is this?" Ex 16:15Ignōrābant enim quid esset.For they did not know what it was.
Ex 16:15Quibus ait Mōysēs: Iste est pānis quem Dominus dedit vōbīs ad vēscendum.To them Moses said: "This is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat. Ex 16:16Hic est sermō, quem praecēpit Dominus: Colligat ūnusquisque ex eō quantum sufficit ad vēscendum: gomor per singula capita, jūxtā numerum animārum vestrārum quae habitant in tabernāculō sīc tollētis.This is the word which the Lord has commanded: 'Let each gather of it as much as suffices for eating: a gomor for each head, according to the number of your souls who live in a tent, so you will take it.'" Ex 16:17Fēcēruntque ita fīliī Isrāël: et collēgērunt, alius plūs, alius minus.And the sons of Israel did so: and they gathered, one more, another less. Ex 16:18Et mēnsī sunt ad mēnsūram gomor: nec quī plūs collēgerat, habuit amplius: nec quī minus parāverat, reperit minus: sed singulī jūxtā id quod ēdere poterant, congregāvērunt.And they measured by the measure of a gomor: neither did he who had gathered more have more: nor did he who had prepared less find less: but each gathered according to what they were able to eat.
Ex 16:19Dīxitque Mōysēs ad eōs: Nūllus relinquat ex eō in māne.And Moses said to them: "Let no one leave any of it until the morning." Ex 16:20Quī nōn audiērunt eum, sed dīmīsērunt quīdam ex eīs ūsque māne, et scatēre coepit vermibus, atque computruit: et īrātus est contrā eōs Mōysēs.And they did not hear him, but some of them left it until morning, and it began to swarm with worms, and it rotted: and Moses was angry against them. Ex 16:21Colligēbant autem māne singulī, quantum sufficere poterat ad vēscendum: cumque incaluisset sōl, liquefīēbat.And they were gathering it in the morning, each one, as much as could suffice for eating: and when the sun had grown hot, it was melting. Ex 16:22In diē autem sextā collēgērunt cibōs duplicēs, id est, duo gomor per singulōs hominēs: vēnērunt autem omnēs prīncipēs multitūdinis, et narrāvērunt Mōysī.But on the sixth day they gathered double food, that is, two gomors for each person: and all the leaders of the multitude came, and told Moses. Ex 16:23Quī ait eīs: Hoc est quod locūtus est Dominus: Requiēs sabbatī sānctificāta est Dominō crās: quodcumque operandum est, facite, et quae coquenda sunt coquite: quidquid autem reliquum fuerit, repōnite ūsque in māne.And he said to them: "This is what the Lord has spoken: 'The rest of the sabbath is sanctified to the Lord tomorrow: whatever is to be worked, do it, and what things are to be cooked, cook them: but whatever is left over, lay it by until the morning.'"
Ex 16:24Fēcēruntque ita ut praecēperat Mōysēs, et nōn computruit, neque vermis inventus est in eō.And they did so as Moses had commanded, and it did not rot, nor was a worm found in it. Ex 16:25Dīxitque Mōysēs: Comedite illud hodiē, quia sabbatum est Dominī: nōn inveniētur hodiē in agrō.And Moses said: "Eat it today, because it is the sabbath of the Lord: it will not be found today in the field. Ex 16:26Sex diēbus colligite: in diē autem septimō sabbatum est Dominī, idcircō nōn inveniētur.For six days gather it: but on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord, for that reason it will not be found." Ex 16:27Vēnitque septima diēs: et ēgressī dē populō ut colligerent, nōn invēnērunt.And the seventh day came: and some of the people, having gone out to gather, did not find it. Ex 16:28Dīxit autem Dominus ad Moysēn: Usquequō nōn vultis custōdīre mandāta mea et lēgem meam?But the Lord said to Moses: "How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my law? Ex 16:29Vidēte quod Dominus dederit vōbīs sabbatum, et propter hoc diē sextā tribuit vōbīs cibōs duplicēs: maneat ūnusquisque apud sēmetipsum;See that the Lord has given you the sabbath, and because of this on the sixth day he grants you double food: let each one stay at home; Ex 16:29Nūllus ēgrediātur dē locō suō diē septimō.let no one go out from his place on the seventh day."
Ex 16:30Et sabbatizāvit populus diē septimō.And the people kept sabbath on the seventh day. Ex 16:31Appellāvitque domus Isrāël nōmen ejus Man: quod erat quasi sēmen coriandrī album, gustusque ejus quasi similae cum melle.And the house of Israel called its name Man: and it was like coriander seed, white, and its taste like fine flour with honey. Ex 16:32Dīxit autem Mōysēs: Iste est sermō, quem praecēpit Dominus: Implē gomor ex eō, et custōdiātur in futūrās retrō generātiōnēs: ut nōverint pānem, quō aluī vōs in sōlitūdine, quandō ēductī estis dē terrā Aegyptī.And Moses said: "This is the word which the Lord has commanded: 'Fill a gomor of it, and let it be kept for generations to come hereafter: so that they may know the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when you were led out of the land of Egypt.'" Ex 16:33Dīxitque Mōysēs ad Aarōn: Sūme vās ūnum, et mitte ibi man, quantum potest capere gomor, et repōne cōram Dominō ad servandum in generātiōnēs vestrās, sīcut praecēpit Dominus Mōysī.And Moses said to Aaron: "Take one vessel, and put man in it, as much as a gomor can hold, and lay it up before the Lord to be kept for your generations, as the Lord commanded Moses."
Ex 16:34Posuitque illud Aarōn in tabernāculō reservandum.And Aaron put it in the tabernacle to be kept. Ex 16:35Fīliī autem Isrāël comēdērunt man quadrāgintā annīs, dōnec venīrent in terram habitābilem: hōc cibō alitī sunt, usquequō tangerent fīnēs terrae Chanaan.And the sons of Israel ate man for forty years, until they came into a habitable land: with this food they were fed, until they touched the borders of the land of Canaan. Ex 16:36Gomor autem decima pars est ephi.Now a gomor is the tenth part of an ephi.
