And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat. 16 This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer 3 for every man, according to the number of your 4 persons: take ye every man for them which are in his tents. 17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less. 18 And when they did mete it with an omer,p he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack: to his eating. 6 And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, p 2Cor.8.15. they gathered every man according then ye shall know that the LORD 31.15.35.3.
