We read in the Book of Exodus in chapter 16 that God provided the Israelites with manna (bread from the Lord) and quail, after the people had grumbled about starving in the desert. The Bible states: “The people of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey” (Exodus 16:32).
The whole Israelite community set out from Elim and came to the Desert of Sin (Exodus 16:1). In the desert the whole community grumbled against Moses and Aaron (Exodus 16:2). The Israelites said to them “If only we had died by the Lord’s hand in Egypt! There we sat round pots of meat and ate all the food we wanted, but you have brought us out (of Egypt) into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death” (Exodus 16:3).
Then the Lord said to Moses “I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions” (Exodus 16:4). “On the sixth day they are to bring in twice as much as they gather on the other days” (Exodus 16:5). The Lord said to Moses “I have heard the grumbling of the Israelites. Tell them at twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God” (Exodus 16:12). That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp (Exodus 16:13). When the dew was gone, thin flakes like frost on the ground appeared on the desert floor (Exodus 16:14). When the Israelites saw it, they said to each other “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. Moses said to them “It is the bread the Lord has given you to eat” (Exodus 16:15). “This is what the Lord has commanded ‘Each one is to gather as much as he needs’” said Moses (Exodus 16:16). “No-one is to keep any of it until morning” Moses warned (Exodus 16:19). 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 (Exodus 16:20). Each morning everyone gathered as much as they needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away (Exodus 16:21). On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much (Exodus 16:22). Moses said to the leaders of the community “This is what the Lord commanded: ‘Tomorrow is to be a day of 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’” (Exodus 16:23). Neverthless, some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather it, but they found none (Exodus 16:27). Then the Lord said to Moses “How long will you refuse to keep my commands and my instructions?” (Exodus 16:28). “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” (Exodus 16:29). So the people rested on the seventh day (Exodus 16:30).
