ay, because it is the sabbath of the
Lord: to day it shall not be found in the field.

16:26. Gather it six days; but on the seventh day is the sabbath of the
Lord, therefore it shall not be found.

16:27. And the seventh day came; and some of the people going forth to
gather, found none.

16:28. And the Lord said to Moses: How long will you refuse to keep my
commandments, and my law?

16:29. See that the Lord hath given you the sabbath, and for this reason
on the sixth day he giveth you a double provision: let each man stay at
home, and let none go forth out of his place the seventh day.

16:30. And the people kept the sabbath on the seventh day.

16:31. And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was

16:33. And Moses said to Aaron: Take a vessel, and put manna into it, as

16:36. Now a gomor is the tenth part of an ephi.

from the desert of Sin, by their mansions, according to the word of the
Lord, encamped in Raphidim, where there was no water for the people to

17:2. And they chode with Moses, and said: Give us water, that we may

17:4. And Moses cried to the Lord, saying: What shall I do to this
