14 The People, fhall hear and be afraid: Sorrow fhall take hold on the Inhabitants of Palestina.

19 For the Horfe of Pharaoh went in with his Chariots, and with his Horfemen into the Sea, and the LORD brought again the Waters of the Sea upon them: but the Children of Ifrael went on dry Land in the midft of the

20 And Miriam the Prophetefs, the Sifter of Aaron, took a Timbrel in her Hand; and all the Women went out after her, with Timbrels and with Dances.

21 And Miriam anfwered them, SING YE to the LORD, for he hath TRIUMPHED gloriously; the Horfe and his Rider hath he thrown into the SEA.

22 So Mofes brought Ifrael from the Red Sea, and they went out into the Wilderness of SHUR: and they went three Days in the Wilderness, and found NO WATER.

23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the Waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the Name of it was called Marah.

24 And the People MURMURED against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?

25 And he CRIED unto the LORD, and the LORD fhewed him a Tree, which when he had caft into the Waters, the WATERS were made swEET: there he made for them a Statute, and an Ordinance, and there he PROVED them,

26 And faid, If thou wilt diligently hearken unto the VOICE of the LORD thy GOD, and wilt do that which is right in his Sight, and wilt give Ear to his Commandments, and keep all his Statutes; I will put none of these Diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that HEALETH thee.

27 And they came to Elim, where were twelve Wells of Water, and threefcore and ten Palm-trees and they encamped there by the Waters.

CHAP. XVI.

The Ifraelites come to Sin; 2 murmur for want of Bread. 11 Quails are fent, 14 and Manna.

Ver. 1

ND they took their Journey from Elim, and all the Congregation of the Children of Ifrael came unto the Wildernefs of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth Day of the fecond Month, after their departing out of the Land of Egypt.

2 And the whole Congregation of the Children of Ifrael MURMURED against MOSES and Aaron in the Wilderness.

3 And the Children of Ifrael faid unto them, Would to GOD we had DIED by the Hand of the LORD in the Land of Egypt, when we fat 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 Aflembly with HUNGER.

4 Then faid the LORD unto Mofes, 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.

5 And it fhall come to pafs, that on the fixth Day, they fhall prepare that which they bring in; and it fhall be twice as much as they gather daily.

6 And MOSES and Aaron faid unto all the Children of Ifrael, At Even, then ye fhall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the Land of Egypt.

7 And in the Morning, then ye fhall fee the GLORY of the LORD; for that he heareth your MURMURINGS against the LORD, and WHAT ARE We, that ye murmur against us.

8 And Mofes faid, This fhall be when the LORD fhall give you in the Evening Flefh 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.

9 And Mofes fpake unto Aaron, Say unto all the Congregation of the Children of Ifrael, Come near before the LORD; for he hath heard your Murmurings. R

10 And

10 And it came to pafs as Aaron fpake unto the whole Congregation of the Children of Ifrael, that they looked toward the Wilderness, and behold, the GLORY of the LORD APPEARED in the CLOUD.

II And the LORD fpake unto MOSES, faying,

12 I have heard the MURMRINGS of the Children of Ifrael; fpeak unto them, faying, At Even ye fhall eat Flesh, and in the Morning ye fhall be filled with Bread and ye fhall know that I am the LORD your God.

13 And it came to pafs, that at Even the Quails came up, and covered the Camp: and in the Morning the DEW lay round about the Hoft.

14 And when the Dew

that lay was gone up, behold, upon the Face of the Wildernefs there lay a small round Thing, as small as the Hoar Froft on the Ground.

John vi. 30 They said unto him,

What Sign fheweft thou then, that

we may fee, and believe thee? what doft thou work?

31 Our Fathers did eat MANNA in the Detart; as it is written, He gave

them Bread from HEAVEN to eat.

32 Then JESUS faid unto them, Verily verily I fay unto you, Moses gave you not that BREAD from HEAVEN; but my FATHER giveth you the TRUE BREAD from HEAVEN.

15 And when the Children of Ifrael faw it, they said one to another, It is MANNA; for they wift not what it was. And Mofes faid unto them, and giveth LIFE unto the World.

This is the BREAD which the LORD hath given you to

eat.

16 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 Perfons, take ye every Man for them which are in his Tents.

17 And the Children of Ifrael did fo, and gathered, fome more, fome lefs.

33 For the BREAD of GOD is HE which cometh down from HEAVEN,

35 I AM the BREAD of LIFE: he that COMETH to me, shall never HUNGER; and he that BELIEVETH on me fhall never THIRST.

37 All that the FATHER giveth me, fhall COME to me; and him that COMETH TO ME. I will in no wife CAST OUT.

38 For I came down from Heaven, not to do my own WILL, but the WILL of him that fent me.

39 And this is the FATHER'S WILL which hath fent me, that of all which he hath given me, I fhould lofe nothing, but fhould RAISE it ap at the laft Day.

48 I am that BREAD of LIFE. 49 Your Fathers did eat MANNA in the Wilderness, and are DEAD.

so This is the BREAD which cometh down from HEAVEN, that a Man

may EAT thereof and not DIE.

18 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.

19 And Mofes faid, Let no Man leave of it till the Morning.

20 Not

20 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Mofes, but fome of them left of it until the Morning, and it bred Worms and stank: And Mofes was wroth with them.

21 And they gathered it every Morning, every Man according to his Eating: and when the Sun waxed hot, it melted.

22 And it came to pafs, that on the fixth Day, they gathered twice as much Bread, two Omers for one Man : and all the Rulers of the Congregation came and told Mofes.

23 And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath faid, To-morrow is the Reft of the holy Sabbath unto the LORD bake that which ye will bake To-day, and feethe that ye will feethe; and that which remaineth over, lay up for you to be kept until the Morning.

24 And they laid it up till the Morning, as Mofes bad: and it did not stink, neither was there any Worm therein. 25 And Mofes faid, Eat that To-day; for To-day is a Sabbath unto the LORD: To-day ye fhall NOT FIND it in the Field.

26 Six Days fhall ye gather it, but on the SEVENTH Day which is the Sabbath, in it there fhall be NONE.

27 And it came to pafs, that there went out fome of the People on the feventh Day for to gather, and they found

none.

28 And the LORD faid unto Mofes, How long refufe ye to keep my Commandments and my Laws?

29 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 feventh Day.

30 So the People refted on the feventh Day.

31 And the Houfe of Ifrael called the Name thereof *MANNA and it was like Coriander-feed, white; and the Tafte of it was like Wafers made with Honey.

32 And Mofes faid, This is the Thing which the LORD commanded, Fill an Omer of it to be kept for your GENERATIONS; that they may fee the BREAD wherewith I have FED you in the Wilderness, when I brought you forth from the Land of Egypt.

*Note, MANNA fignifies a Daily Allowance given by Gon to the Ifraelites pithout any Labour or Industry of theirs.
