Éxodo 16
Riveduta 1927
1E tutta la raunanza de’ figliuoli d’Israele partì da Elim e giunse al deserto di Sin, ch’è fra Elim e Sinai, il quindicesimo giorno del secondo mese dopo la loro partenza dal paese d’Egitto.
2E tutta la raunanza de’ figliuoli d’Israele mormorò contro Mosè e contro Aaronne nel deserto.
3I figliuoli d’Israele dissero loro: “Oh, fossimo pur morti per mano dell’Eterno nel paese d’Egitto, quando sedevamo presso le pignatte della carne e mangiavamo del pane a sazietà! Poiché voi ci avete menati in questo deserto per far morir di fame tutta questa raunanza”.
4E l’Eterno disse a Mosè: “Ecco, io vi farò piovere del pane dal cielo; e il popolo uscirà e ne raccoglierà giorno per giorno quanto gliene abbisognerà per la giornata, ond’io lo metta alla prova per vedere se camminerà o no secondo la mia legge.
5Ma il sesto giorno, quando prepareranno quello che avran portato a casa, essa sarà il doppio di quello che avranno raccolto ogni altro giorno”.
6E Mosè ed Aaronne dissero a tutti i figliuoli d’Israele: “Questa sera voi conoscerete che l’Eterno è quegli che vi ha tratto fuori dal paese d’Egitto;
7e domattina vedrete la gloria dell’Eterno; poich’egli ha udito le vostre mormorazioni contro l’Eterno; quanto a noi, che cosa siamo perché mormoriate contro di noi?”
8E Mosè disse: “Vedrete la gloria dell’Eterno quando stasera egli vi darà della carne da mangiare e domattina del pane a sazietà; giacché l’Eterno ha udito le vostre mormorazioni che proferite contro di lui; quanto a noi, che cosa siamo? le vostre mormorazioni non sono contro di noi ma contro l’Eterno”.
9Poi Mosè disse ad Aaronne: “Di’ a tutta la raunanza de’ figliuoli d’Israele: Avvicinatevi alla presenza dell’Eterno, perch’egli ha udito le vostre mormorazioni”.
10E come Aaronne parlava a tutta la raunanza de’ figliuoli d’Israele, questi volsero gli occhi verso il deserto; ed ecco che la gloria dell’Eterno apparve nella nuvola.
11E l’Eterno parlò a Mosè, dicendo:
12“Io ho udito le mormorazioni dei figliuoli d’Israele; parla loro, dicendo: Sull’imbrunire mangerete della carne, e domattina sarete saziati di pane; e conoscerete che io sono l’Eterno, l’Iddio vostro”.
13E avvenne, verso sera, che saliron delle quaglie, che ricopersero il campo; e, la mattina, c’era uno strato di rugiada intorno al campo.
14E quando lo strato di rugiada fu sparito, ecco sulla faccia del deserto una cosa minuta, tonda, minuta come brina sulla terra.
15E i figliuoli d’Israele, veduta che l’ebbero, dissero l’uno all’altro: “Che cos’è?” perché non sapevan che cosa fosse. E Mosè disse loro: “Questo è il pane che l’Eterno vi dà a mangiare.
16Ecco quel che l’Eterno ha comandato: Ne raccolga ognuno quanto gli basta per il suo nutrimento: un omer a testa, secondo il numero delle vostre persone; ognuno ne pigli per quelli che sono nella sua tenda”.
17I figliuoli d’Israele fecero così, e ne raccolsero gli uni più e gli altri meno.
18Lo misurarono con l’omer, e chi ne aveva raccolto molto non n’ebbe di soverchio; e chi ne aveva raccolto poco non n’ebbe penuria. Ognuno ne raccolse quanto gliene abbisognava per il suo nutrimento.
19E Mosè disse loro: “Nessuno ne serbi fino a domattina”.
20Ma alcuni non ubbidirono a Mosè, e ne serbarono fino all’indomani; e quello inverminì e mandò fetore; e Mosè s’adirò contro costoro.
21Così lo raccoglievano tutte le mattine: ciascuno nella misura che bastava al suo nutrimento; e quando il sole si faceva caldo, quello si struggeva.
22E il sesto giorno raccolsero di quel pane il doppio: due omer per ciascuno. E tutti i capi della raunanza lo vennero a dire a Mosè.
23Ed egli disse loro: “Questo è quello che ha detto l’Eterno: Domani è un giorno solenne di riposo: un sabato sacro all’Eterno; fate cuocere oggi quel che avete da cuocere e fate bollire quel che avete da bollire; e tutto quel che vi avanza, riponetelo e serbatelo fino a domani”.
24Essi dunque lo riposero fino all’indomani, come Mosè aveva ordinato: e quello non diè fetore e non inverminì.
25E Mosè disse: “Mangiatelo oggi, perché oggi è il sabato sacro all’Eterno; oggi non ne troverete per i campi.
26Raccoglietene durante sei giorni; ma il settimo giorno è il sabato; in quel giorno non ve ne sarà”.
27Or nel settimo giorno avvenne che alcuni del popolo uscirono per raccoglierne, e non ne trovarono.
28E l’Eterno disse a Mosè: “Fino a quando rifiuterete d’osservare i miei comandamenti e le mie leggi?
29Riflettete che l’Eterno vi ha dato il sabato; per questo, nel sesto giorno egli vi dà del pane per due giorni; ognuno stia dov’è; nessuno esca dalla sua tenda il settimo giorno”.
30Così il popolo si riposò il settimo giorno.
31E la casa d’Israele chiamò quel pane Manna; esso era simile al seme di coriandolo; era bianco, e aveva il gusto di schiacciata fatta col miele.
32E Mosè disse: “Questo è quello che l’Eterno ha ordinato: Empi un omer di manna, perché sia conservato per i vostri discendenti, onde veggano il pane col quale vi ho nutriti nel deserto, quando vi ho tratti fuori dal paese d’Egitto”.
33E Mosè disse ad Aaronne: “Prendi un vaso, mettivi dentro un intero omer di manna, e deponilo davanti all’Eterno, perché sia conservato per i vostri discendenti”.
34Secondo l’ordine che l’Eterno avea dato a Mosè, Aaronne lo depose dinanzi alla Testimonianza, perché fosse conservato.
35E i figliuoli d’Israele mangiarono la manna per quarant’anni, finché arrivarono in paese abitato; mangiarono la manna finché giunsero ai confini del paese di Canaan.
36Or l’omer è la decima parte dell’efa.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y PARTIENDO de Elim toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel, vino al desierto de Sin, que está entre Elim y Sinaí, á los quince días del segundo mes después que salieron de la tierra de Egipto.
2Y toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel murmuró contra Moisés y Aarón en el desierto;
3Y decíanles los hijos de Israel: Ojalá hubiéramos muerto por mano de Jehová en la tierra de Egipto, cuando nos sentábamos á las ollas de las carnes, cuando comíamos pan en hartura; pues nos habéis sacado á este desierto, para matar de hambre á toda esta multitud.
4Y Jehová dijo á Moisés: He aquí yo os haré llover pan del cielo; y el pueblo saldrá, y cogerá para cada un día, para que yo le pruebe si anda en mi ley, ó no.
5Mas al sexto día aparejarán lo que han de encerrar, que será el doble de lo que solían coger cada día.
6Entonces dijo Moisés y Aarón á todos los hijos de Israel: A la tarde sabréis que Jehová os ha sacado de la tierra de Egipto:
7Y á la mañana veréis la gloria de Jehová; porque él ha oído vuestras murmuraciones contra Jehová; que nosotros, ¿qué somos, para que vosotros murmuréis contra nosotros?
8Y dijo Moisés: Jehová os dará á la tarde carne para comer, y á la mañana pan en hartura; por cuanto Jehová ha oído vuestras murmuraciones con que habéis murmurado contra él: que nosotros, ¿qué somos? vuestras murmuraciones no son contra nosotros, sino contra Jehová.
9Y dijo Moisés á Aarón: Di á toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel: Acercaos á la presencia de Jehová; que él ha oído vuestras murmuraciones.
10Y hablando Aarón á toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel, miraron hacia el desierto, y he aquí la gloria de Jehová, que apareció en la nube.
11Y Jehová habló á Moisés, diciendo:
12Yo he oído las murmuraciones de los hijos de Israel; háblales, diciendo: Entre las dos tardes comeréis carne, y por la mañana os hartaréis de pan, y sabréis que yo soy Jehová vuestro Dios.
13Y venida la tarde subieron codornices que cubrieron el real; y á la mañana descendió rocío en derredor del real.
14Y como el rocío cesó de descender, he aquí sobre la haz del desierto una cosa menuda, redonda, menuda como una helada sobre la tierra.
15Y viéndolo los hijos de Israel, se dijeron unos á otros: ¿Qué es esto? porque no sabían qué era. Entonces Moisés les dijo: Es el pan que Jehová os da para comer.
16Esto es lo que Jehová ha mandado: cogeréis de él cada uno según pudiere comer; un gomer por cabeza, conforme al número de vuestras personas, tomaréis cada uno para los que están en su tienda.
17Y los hijos de Israel lo hicieron así: y recogieron unos más, otros menos:
18Y medíanlo por gomer, y no sobraba al que había recogido mucho, ni faltaba al que había recogido poco: cada uno recogió conforme á lo que había de comer.
19Y díjoles Moisés: Ninguno deje nada de ello para mañana.
20Mas ellos no obedecieron á Moisés, sino que algunos dejaron de ello para otro día, y crió gusanos, y pudrióse; y enojóse contra ellos Moisés.
21Y recogíanlo cada mañana, cada uno según lo que había de comer: y luego que el sol calentaba, derretíase.
22En el sexto día recogieron doblada comida, dos gomeres para cada uno: y todos los príncipes de la congregación vinieron á Moisés, y se lo hicieron saber.
23Y él les dijo: Esto es lo que ha dicho Jehová: Mañana es el santo sábado, el reposo de Jehová: lo que hubiereis de cocer, cocedlo hoy, y lo que hubiereis de cocinar, cocinadlo; y todo lo que os sobrare, guardadlo para mañana.
24Y ellos lo guardaron hasta la mañana, según que Moisés había mandado, y no se pudrió, ni hubo en él gusano.
25Y dijo Moisés: Comedlo hoy, porque hoy es sábado de Jehová: hoy no hallaréis en el campo.
26En los seis días lo recogeréis; mas el séptimo día es sábado, en el cual no se hallará.
27Y aconteció que algunos del pueblo salieron en el séptimo día á recoger, y no hallaron.
28Y Jehová dijo á Moisés: ¿Hasta cuándo no querréis guardar mis mandamientos y mis leyes?
29Mirad que Jehová os dió el sábado, y por eso os da en el sexto día pan para dos días. Estése, pues, cada uno en su estancia, y nadie salga de su lugar en el séptimo día.
30Así el pueblo reposó el séptimo día.
31Y la casa de Israel lo llamó Maná; y era como simiente de culantro, blanco, y su sabor como de hojuelas con miel.
32Y dijo Moisés: Esto es lo que Jehová ha mandado: Henchirás un gomer de él para que se guarde para vuestros descendientes, á fin de que vean el pan que yo os dí á comer en el desierto, cuando yo os saqué de la tierra de Egipto.
33Y dijo Moisés á Aarón: Toma un vaso, y pon en él un gomer lleno de maná, y ponlo delante de Jehová, para que sea guardado para vuestros descendientes.
34Y Aarón lo puso delante del Testimonio para guardarlo, como Jehová lo mandó á Moisés.
35Así comieron los hijos de Israel maná cuarenta años, hasta que entraron en la tierra habitada: maná comieron hasta que llegaron al término de la tierra de Canaán.
36Y un gomer es la décima parte del epha.
King James Version
1And 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.
2And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
3And 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.
4Then 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.
5And 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.
6And 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:
7And 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?
8And 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.
9And 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.
10And 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.
11And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
12I 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.
13And 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.
14And 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.
15And 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.
16This 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.
17And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
18And 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.
19And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
20Notwithstanding 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.
21And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
22And 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.
23And 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.
24And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
25And 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.
26Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
27And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.
28And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
29See, 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.
30So the people rested on the seventh day.
31And 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.
32And 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.
33And 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.
34As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
35And 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.
36Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
World English Bible
1They took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to 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.
2The whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;
3and the children of Israel said to them, “We wish that we had died by the LORD’s hand in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots, when we ate our fill of bread, for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.”
4Then the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will rain bread from the sky for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law or not.
5It shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall prepare that which they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.”
6Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, “At evening, you shall know that the LORD has brought you out from the land of Egypt.
7In the morning, you shall see the LORD’s glory; because he hears your murmurings against the LORD. Who are we, that you murmur against us?”
8Moses said, “Now the LORD will give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you, because the LORD hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.”
9Moses said to Aaron, “Tell all the congregation of the children of Israel, ‘Come close to the LORD, for he has heard your murmurings.’”
10As Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the LORD’s glory appeared in the cloud.
11The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
12“I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, ‘At evening you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God.’”
13In the evening, quail came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay around the camp.
14When the dew that lay had gone, behold, on the surface of the wilderness was a small round thing, small as the frost on the ground.
15When the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they didn’t know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread which the LORD has given you to eat.
16This is the thing which the LORD has commanded: ‘Gather of it everyone according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, you shall take it, every man for those who are in his tent.’”
17The children of Israel did so, and some gathered more, some less.
18When they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack. They each gathered according to his eating.
19Moses said to them, “Let no one leave of it until the morning.”
20Notwithstanding they didn’t listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, so it bred worms and became foul; and Moses was angry with them.
21They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.
22On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one; and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
23He said to them, “This is that which the LORD has spoken, ‘Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. Bake that which you want to bake, and boil that which you want to boil; and all that remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning.’”
24They laid it up until the morning, as Moses ordered, and it didn’t become foul, and there were no worms in it.
25Moses said, “Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to the LORD. Today you shall not find it in the field.
26Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none.”
27On the seventh day, some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.
28The LORD said to Moses, “How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?
29Behold, because the LORD has given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days. Everyone stay in his place. Let no one go out of his place on the seventh day.”
30So the people rested on the seventh day.
31The house of Israel called its name “Manna”, and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey.
32Moses said, “This is the thing which the LORD has commanded, ‘Let an omer-full of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”
33Moses said to Aaron, “Take a pot, and put an omer-full of manna in it, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept throughout your generations.”
34As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
35The children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.
36Now an omer is one tenth of an ephah.
