13 Therefore, it happened in the evening: quails, rising up, covered the camp. Likewise, in the morning, a dew lay all around the camp.
14 And when it had covered the face of the earth, it appeared, in the wilderness, small and as if crushed with a pestle, similar to hoar-frost on the ground.
15 When the sons of Israel had seen it, they said one to another: 'Manhu?' which means 'What is this?' For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them: 'This is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat.
16 This is the word that the Lord has instructed. Let each one collect as much of it as is sufficient to eat. One omer for each head. According to the number of your souls which live in a tent, so will you take of it.'
17 And the sons of Israel did so. And they collected: some more, others less.
