Now it will be on the sixth day, they shall prepare what they bring in, and it will be twice as much as they gather daily."

Now it happened as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, that they turned toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of Yahweh appeared in the cloud.

And the sons of Israel saw it and said to one another, "What is it?" For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, "It is the bread which Yahweh has given you to eat.

And they measured it with an omer, and he who had gathered much had no excess, and he who had gathered little had no lack; every man gathered as much as he should eat.

But they did not listen to Moses, and some left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and became foul; and Moses was angry with them.

So they gathered it morning by morning, every man as much as he should eat; but the sun would grow hot, and it would melt.

Now it happened that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one. Then all the leaders of the congregation came and told Moses.

So they put it aside until morning, as Moses had commanded, and it did not become foul nor was there any worm in it.

And the sons of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land; they ate the manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan.

Then all the congregation of the sons of Israel journeyed by stages from the wilderness of Sin, according to the command of Yahweh, and they camped at Rephidim, and there was no water for the people to drink.

But the people thirsted there for water; and they grumbled against Moses and said, "Why, now, have you brought us up from Egypt, to put us and our children and our livestock to death with thirst?"

So Moses cried out to Yahweh, saying, "What shall I do to this people? A little more and they will stone me."

So he named the place Massah and Meribah because of the contending of the sons of Israel, and because they tested Yahweh, saying, "Is Yahweh among us or not?"

But Moses' hands were heavy. Then they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other. Thus his hands were steady until the sun set.

Then Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and he bowed down and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare and went into the tent.

When they have a matter, it comes to me, and I judge between a man and his neighbor and make known the statutes of God and His laws."

then warn them about the statutes and the laws, and make known to them the way in which they shall go and the work they shall do.

And they will judge the people at all times. And it will be that every major matter they will bring to you, but every minor matter they themselves will judge. So it will be easier for you, and they will bear the burden with you.

And they judged the people at all times; the difficult matter they would bring to Moses, but every minor matter they themselves would judge.

Then they set out from Rephidim and came to the wilderness of Sinai and camped in the wilderness; and there Israel camped in front of the mountain.
