Exodus 16:15

Read in context

Exodus 16:13–17 · Berean Standard Bible

13 That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.

14 When the layer of dew had evaporated, there were thin flakes on the desert floor, as fine as frost on the ground.

15 When the Israelites saw it, they asked one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. So Moses told them, “It is the bread that the LORD has given you to eat.

16 This is what the LORD has commanded: ‘Each one is to gather as much as he needs. You may take an omer for each person in your tent.’”

17 So the Israelites did this. Some gathered more, and some less.
