Describes how Moses leads the Israelites out of Egypt and slavery, and how they receive laws from God.

Chapter 16

KJV: And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.

Geneva: Afterwarde all the Congregation of the children of Israel departed from Elim, and came to the wildernes of Sin, (which is betweene Elim and Sinai) the fiftenth day of the second moneth after their departing out of ye land of Egypt.

KJV: And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:

Geneva: And the whole Congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses & against Aaron in the wildernesse.

KJV: And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.

Geneva: For the children of Israel sayde to them, Oh that we had dyed by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when wee sate by the flesh pots, when wee ate bread our bellies full: for yee haue brought vs out into this wildernesse, to kill this whole company with famine.

KJV: Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.

Geneva: Then sayd the Lord vnto Moses, Behold, I wil cause bread to rayne from heauen to you, & the people shal goe out, and gather that that is sufficient for euery day, that I may proue them, whether they wil walke in my Law or no.

KJV: And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.

Geneva: But the sixt daye they shall prepare that, which they shal bring home, and it shalbe twise as much as they gather dayly.

KJV: And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:

Geneva: Then Moses and Aaron sayde vnto all the children of Israel, At euen ye shal know, that the Lord brought you out of the land of Egypt:

KJV: And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?

Geneva: And in the morning ye shall see the glorie of the Lorde: for he hath heard your grudgings against the Lorde: and what are we that ye haue murmured against vs?

KJV: And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.

Geneva: Againe Moses sayd, At euen shal the Lord giue you flesh to eate, and in the morning your fil of bread: for the Lorde hath heard your murmurings, which ye murmure against him: for what are we? Your murmurings are not against vs, but against the Lord.

KJV: And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.

Geneva: And Moses sayd to Aaron, Say vnto all the Congregation of the children of Israel, Draw neere before the Lorde: for he hath heard your murmurings.

KJV: And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.

Geneva: Now as Aaron spake vnto the whole Congregation of the children of Israel, they looked toward the wildernesse, and beholde, the glory of the Lord appeared in a cloude.

KJV: And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Geneva: (For the Lorde had spoken vnto Moses, saying,

KJV: I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.

Geneva: I haue heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: tell them therefore, & say, At euen ye shal eate flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord your God)

KJV: And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.

Geneva: And so at euen the quailes came and couered the campe: and in the morning the dewe lay round about the hoste.

KJV: And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.

Geneva: And when the dewe that was fallen was ascended, beholde, a small round thing was vpon the face of the wildernes, small as the hoare frost on the earth.

KJV: And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.

Geneva: And when the children of Israel sawe it, they sayde one to another, It is MAN, for they wist not what it was; Moses sayd vnto them, This is the breade which the Lorde hath giuen you to eate.

KJV: This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.

Geneva: This is the thing which the Lorde hath commanded: gather of it euery man according to his eating an Omer for a man according to the number of your persons: euery man shall take for them which are in his tent.

KJV: And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.

Geneva: And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some lesse.

KJV: And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.

Geneva: And when they did measure it with an Omer, hee that had gathered much, had nothing ouer, & he that had gathered litle, had no lacke: so euery man gathered according to his eating.

KJV: And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.

Geneva: Moses then said vnto them, Let no man reserue thereof till morning.

KJV: Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.

Geneva: Notwithstanding they obeyed not Moses: but some of them reserued of it till morning, and it was full of wormes, and stanke: therefore Moses was angrie with them.

KJV: And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.

Geneva: And they gathered it euery morning, euery man according to his eating: for when the heate of the sunne came, it was melted.

KJV: And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.

Geneva: And the sixt day they gathered twise so much bread, two Omers for one man: then all the rulers of the Congregation came and told Moses.

KJV: And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

Geneva: And he answered them, This is that, which the Lord hath sayde, To morowe is the rest of the holy Sabbath vnto the Lorde: bake that to day which ye wil bake, and seethe that which ye wil seethe, and all that remaineth, lay it vp to be kept till the morning for you.

KJV: And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.

Geneva: And they laied it vp till the morning, as Moses bade, and it stanke not, neyther was there any worme therein.

KJV: And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.

Geneva: Then Moses sayde, Eate that to day: for to day is the Sabbath vnto the Lord: to day ye shall not finde it in the fielde.

KJV: Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.

Geneva: Sixe dayes shall yee gather it, but in the seuenth day is the Sabbath: in it there shalbe none.

KJV: And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.

Geneva: Notwithstanding, there went out some of the people in ye seuenth day for to gather, and they found none.

KJV: And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?

Geneva: And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses, Howe long refuse yee to keepe my commaundementes, and my lawes?

KJV: See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.

Geneva: Beholde, howe the Lorde hath giuen you the Sabbath: therefore he giueth you the sixt day bread for two dayes: tary therefore euery man in his place: let no man goe out of his place the seuenth day.

KJV: So the people rested on the seventh day.

Geneva: So the people rested the seuenth day.

KJV: And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.

Geneva: And the house of Israel called the name of it, MAN; it was like to coriander seede, but white: and the taste of it was like vnto wafers made with hony.

KJV: And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.

Geneva: And Moses said, This is that which the Lord hath commanded, Fill an Omer of it, to keepe it for your posteritie: that they may see the bread wherewith I haue fed you in wildernesse, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.

KJV: And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.

Geneva: Moses also said to Aaron, Take a pot and put an Omer full of MAN therein, and set it before the Lord to be kept for your posteritie.

KJV: As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

Geneva: As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron laied it vp before the Testimonie to be kept.

KJV: And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.

Geneva: And the children of Israel did eate MAN fourtie yeres, vntill they came vnto a land inhabited: they did eate MAN vntill they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.

KJV: Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.

Geneva: The Omer is the tenth part of the Ephah.
