Êxodo 16 - Bíblia Online

Partiram de Elim, e veio toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel ao deserto de Sim, que está entre Elim e Sinai, no décimo quinto dia do segundo mês depois que saíram do Egito. 
Toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel murmurou contra Moisés e Arão no deserto; 
Disseram-lhes os filhos de Israel: Oxalá que tivéssemos morrido pela mão de Jeová na terra do Egito, quando estávamos sentados junto às panelas de carne, quando comíamos pão a fartar! pois nos trouxestes a este deserto, para matardes à fome a toda esta multidão. 
Disse Jeová a Moisés: Eis que vou chover do céu pão para vós; sairá o povo e colherá diariamente a porção de cada dia, para que eu o prove se anda na minha lei ou não. 
Mas ao sexto dia prepararão o que trazem, e será dois tantos do que colhem cada dia. 
Disseram Moisés e Arão a todos os filhos de Israel: À tarde sabereis que Jeová é quem vos tirou da terra do Egito. 
Pela manhã vereis a glória de Jeová; porquanto ele ouve as vossas murmurações contra Jeová. Porém que somos nós, para que murmureis contra nós? 
Prosseguiu Moisés: Isso será, quando Jeová à tarde vos der carne para comerdes, e pela manhã pão a fartar; porquanto Jeová ouve as vossas murmurações com que murmurais contra ele; pois que somos nós? as vossas murmurações não são contra nós, mas sim contra Jeová. 
Disse Moisés a Arão: Dize a toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel: Chegai-vos à presença de Jeová; pois ouviu as vossas murmurações. 
Quando Arão falava a toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel, olharam para o deserto, e eis que a glória de Jeová apareceu na nuvem. 
E disse Jeová a Moisés: 
Tenho ouvido as murmurações dos filhos de Israel; dize-lhes: À tarde comereis carne, e pela manhã vos fartareis de pão; e sabereis que eu sou Jeová vosso Deus. 
Aconteceu que à tarde subiram codornizes e cobriram o arraial; e pela manhã havia uma camada de orvalho ao redor do arraial. 
Quando se evaporou a camada de orvalho, eis que sobre a superfície do deserto estava uma coisa fina e semelhante a escamas, fina como a geada sobre a terra. 
Tendo-a visto os filhos de Israel, disseram uns aos outros: Que é isto? pois não sabiam o que era. Então lhes disse Moisés: Este é o pão que Jeová vos deu para comerdes. 
Eis o que Jeová ordenou: Colhei dele, cada um quanto possa comer; tomareis um hômer por cabeça, conforme o número de vossas pessoas, cada um para os que se acham na sua tenda. 
Assim o fizeram os filhos de Israel; e colheram uns mais e outros menos. 
Quando o mediram num hômer, nada sobejava ao que colheu muito, nem faltava ao que colheu pouco; colheram cada um quanto podia comer. 
Disse-lhes Moisés: Ninguém deixe dele até pela manhã. 
Contudo não deram ouvidos a Moisés; mas alguns deixaram dele até pela manhã, e criou bichos e cheirou mal. Moisés indignou-se contra eles. 
Colhiam-no, pois, todas as manhãs, cada um quanto podia comer; e, quando vinha o calor do sol, derretia-se. 
Ao sexto dia colheram pão em dobro, dois hômeres para cada um; vieram todos os principais da congregação e contaram-no a Moisés. 
Respondeu-lhes ele: Isto é o que Jeová ordenou; amanhã é descanso, sábado santo a Jeová. O que quiserdes cozer no forno, cozei-o, e o que quiserdes cozer em água, cozei-o; e tudo o que sobejar, ponde-o de lado para vós; guardando-o até pela manhã. 
Guardaram-no até pela manhã, como Moisés ordenara; e não cheirou mal nem se acharam bichos nele. 
Então disse Moisés: Comei-o hoje; pois hoje é o sábado de Jeová; hoje não o achareis no campo. 
Seis dias o colhereis; mas o sétimo dia é o sábado, nele não haverá. 
Ao sétimo dia saíram alguns do povo para o colher, porém não o acharam. 
Disse Jeová a Moisés: Até quando recusareis guardar os meus mandamentos e as minhas leis? 
Vede, porquanto Jeová vos deu o sábado, por isso vos dá ele no sexto dia o pão para dois dias; fique cada um onde está, não saia ninguém do seu lugar no sétimo dia. 
Assim descansou o povo no sétimo dia. 
A casa de Israel deu-lhe o nome de maná; era como semente de coentro, branca, e de um sabor semelhante ao de pastas feitas com mel. 
Disse Moisés: Eis o que Jeová ordenou: Dele enchei um hômer, e guarda-se para as vossas gerações; para que vejam o pão com que vos sustentei no deserto, quando vos tirei da terra do Egito. 
Então disse Moisés a Arão: Toma um vaso, põe nele um hômer cheio de maná e deposita-o diante de Jeová, a fim de se guardar para as vossas gerações. 
Como Jeová ordenou a Moisés, assim Arão o depositou diante do Testemunho para se guardar. 
Os filhos de Israel comeram o maná quarenta anos até que chegaram a uma terra habitada; comeram o maná até que chegaram aos termos da terra de Canaã. 
Ora um hômer é a décima parte da efa. 

And they went on their way from Elim, and all the children of Israel came into the waste land 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. 
And all the children of Israel were crying out against Moses and Aaron in the waste land: 
And the children of Israel said to them, It would have been better for the Lord to have put us to death in the land of Egypt, where we were seated by the flesh-pots and had bread enough for our needs; for you have taken us out to this waste of sand, to put all this people to death through need of food. 
Then the Lord said to Moses, See, I will send down bread from heaven for you; and the people will go out every day and get enough for the day's needs; so that I may put them to the test to see if they will keep my laws or not. 
And on the sixth day they are to make ready what they get in, and it will be twice as much as they get on the other days. 
And Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, This evening it will be clear to you that it is the Lord who has taken you out of the land of Egypt: 
And in the morning you will see the glory of the Lord; for your angry words against the Lord have come to his ears: and what are we that you are crying out against us? 
And Moses said, The Lord will give you meat for your food at evening, and in the morning bread in full measure; for your outcry against the Lord has come to his ears: for what are we? your outcry is not against us but against the Lord. 
And Moses said to Aaron, Say to all the people of Israel, Come near before the Lord for he has given ear to your outcry. 
And while Aaron was talking to the children of Israel, their eyes were turned in the direction of the waste land, and they saw the glory of the Lord shining in the cloud. 
And the Lord said to Moses, 
The outcry of the children of Israel has come to my ears: say to them now, At nightfall you will have meat for your food, and in the morning bread in full measure; and you will see that I am the Lord your God. 
And it came about that in the evening little birds came up and the place was covered with them: and in the morning there was dew all round about the tents. 
And when the dew was gone, on the face of the earth was a small round thing, like small drops of ice on the earth. 
And when the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, What is it? for they had no idea what it was. And Moses said to them, It is the bread which the Lord has given you for your food. 
This is what the Lord has said, Let every man take up as much as he has need of; at the rate of one omer for every person, let every man take as much as is needed for his family. 
And the children of Israel did so, and some took more and some less. 
And when it was measured, he who had taken up much had nothing over, and he who had little had enough; every man had taken what he was able to make use of. 
And Moses said to them, Let nothing be kept till the morning. 
But they gave no attention to Moses, and some of them kept it till the morning and there were worms in it and it had an evil smell: and Moses was angry with them. 
And they took it up morning by morning, every man as he had need: and when the sun was high it was gone. 
And on the sixth day they took up twice as much of the bread, two omers for every person: and all the rulers of the people gave Moses word of it. 
And he said, This is what the Lord has said, Tomorrow is a day of rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord: what has to be cooked may be cooked; and what is over, put on one side to be kept till the morning. 
And they kept it till the morning as Moses had said: and no smell came from it, and it had no worms. 
And Moses said, Make your meal today of what you have, for this day is a Sabbath to the Lord: today you will not get any in the fields. 
For six days you will get it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will not be any. 
But still on the seventh day some of the people went out to get it, and there was not any. 
And the Lord said to Moses, How long will you go against my orders and my laws? 
See, because the Lord has given you the Sabbath, he gives you on the sixth day bread enough for two days; let every man keep where he is; let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. 
So the people took their rest on the seventh day. 
And this bread was named manna by Israel: it was white, like a grain seed, and its taste was like cakes made with honey. 
And Moses said, This is the order which the Lord has given: Let one omer of it be kept for future generations, so that they may see the bread which I gave you for your food in the waste land, when I took you out from the land of Egypt. 
And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot and put one omer of manna in it, and put it away before the Lord, to be kept for future generations. 
So Aaron put it away in front of the holy chest to be kept, as the Lord gave orders to Moses. 
And the children of Israel had manna for their food for forty years, till they came to a land with people in it, till they came to the edge of the land of Canaan. 
Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
