And at even the quails came and covered the ground where they lay. And in the morning the dew lay round about the host. And when the dew was fallen: behold, it lay upon the ground in the wilderness, small and round and thin as the hoar frost on the ground. when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another: what is this? for they wist not what it was And Moses said: this is the breed which the Lord hath given you to eat. This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, that ye gather every man enough for him to eat: a gomer full for a man according to the number off you, and gather every man for them which are in his tent.
And at euē the quayles came ād couered the groūde where they laye. And in the mornynge the dewe laye rounde aboute the hoste. And whē the dewe was fallē: behold, it laye apō the grounde in the wildernesse, small ād roūde ād thyn as the hore frost on the groūde. when the childrē of Israel sawe it, they sayde one to another: what is this? for they wist not what it was And Moses sayde: this is the breed which the Lorde hath geuē you to eate. This is the thinge which the Lord hath cōmaūded, that ye gather euery mā ynough for hī to eate: a gomer full for a mā acordīge to the nōbre off you, ād gather euery mā for thē which are in his tente.
And the children of Israel did even so, and gathered some more some less, and did mete it with a gomer. And unto him that had gathered much remained nothing over, and unto him that had gathered little was there no lack: but every man had gathered sufficient for his eating. And Moses said unto them. See that no man let ought remain of it till the morning. Notwithstanding they harkened not unto Moses: but some of them left of it until the morning, and it waxed full of worms and st• ke and Moses was angry with them.
And the childern of Israel dyd euen so, ād gathered some more some lesse, and dyd mete it with a gomer. And vnto him that had gathered moch remayned nothinge ouer, ād vnto hī that had gathered litle was there no lacke: but euery mā had gathered sufficiēt for his eatinge. And Moses sayde vnto them. Se that no mā let oughte remayne of it tyll the morninge. Notwithstondinge they harkened not vnto Moses: but some of thē lefte of it vntyll the mornynge, and it waxte full of wormes ād st ke and Moses was angrie wyth them.
