On the fifteenth day of the second month after they had come out of Egypt … – Slide 1

… the whole Israelite community set out from Elim and came to the Desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai – Slide 2

In the desert the whole community grumbled against Moses and Aaron. The Israelites said to them, ‘If only we had died by the Lord’s hand in Egypt! There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death.’ – Slide 3

Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘I will rain down bread from heaven for you.’ <br/>So, Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, ‘In the evening you will know that it was the Lord who brought you out of Egypt, and in the morning you will see the glory of the Lord because He has heard your grumbling against Him. Who are we, that you should grumble against us?” – Slide 4

Then Moses told Aaron, ‘Say to the entire Israelite community, “Come before the LORD, for he has heard your grumbling.”’ <br/>While Aaron was speaking to the whole Israelite community, they looked toward the desert, and there was the glory of the Lord appearing in the cloud. – Slide 5

In the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp. When the dew was gone, thin flakes like frost on the ground appeared on the desert floor. – Slide 9

When the Israelites saw it, they said to each other, ‘What is it?’ For they did not know what it was. – Slide 10

Moses said to them, ‘It is the bread the Lord has given you to eat. This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Everyone is to gather as much as they need. Take an omer (about 3 pounds or 1.4 kilograms) for each person you have in your tent.’ – Slide 11
12
The Israelites did as they were told; some gathered much, some little. – Slide 12
13
And when they measured it by the omer, the one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little. – Slide 13
14
Everyone had gathered just as much as they needed. – Slide 14

However, some of them paid no attention to Moses; they kept part of it until morning, but it was full of maggots and began to smell. So Moses was angry with them. – Slide 15
16
Moses then said to them, ‘This is what the Lord commanded: “Tomorrow is to be a day of sabbath rest, a holy sabbath to the Lord. So bake what you want to bake and boil what you want to boil. Save whatever is left and keep it until morning.’” <br/>So they saved it until morning, as Moses commanded, and it did not stink or get maggots in it. <br/>‘Eat it today,’ Moses said, ‘because today is a sabbath to the Lord. You will not find any of it on the ground today. Six days you are to gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will not be any.’ – Slide 16
17
Nevertheless, some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather it, but they found none. Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘How long will you refuse to keep my commands and my instructions? Bear in mind that the Lord has given you the Sabbath; that is why on the sixth day He gives you bread for two days. Everyone is to stay where they are on the seventh day; no one is to go out.’ So the people rested on the seventh day. – Slide 17

The people of Israel called the bread manna (meaning ‘What is it?’). It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey. <br/>Moses said, ‘This is what the Lord has commanded: “Take an omer of manna and keep it for the generations to come, so they can see the bread I gave you to eat in the wilderness when I brought you out of Egypt.”’ <br/>(This sample of manna was put in a jar which was later placed inside the Ark of the Covenant). <br/>The Israelites ate manna forty years until they reached the border of Canaan. – Slide 18
