| 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.
|
|Traveling from Elim, the entire assembly of the children of [[Israel]] came to the wilderness of Sin, between Elim and [[Sinai]], on the 15<sup>th</sup> day of the 2<sup>nd</sup> month after they had gone out of the land of [[Egypt]].
|
|That month was named [[Zif]] in those days; the name was changed to [[Iyar]] after the Exile. So they had been traveling for a month.

| And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
|
|And the whole assembly of the children of Israel set up a constant refrain of complaint against [[Moses]] and [[Aaron]] in the wilderness.
|
|The [[Hebrew]] says, "and they are murmuring," not once but twice.

| 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.
| 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.
|
|The children of Israel told them, "We would have been better off dying by the hand of the [[YHWH|L<small>ORD</small>]] in the land of Egypt! At least there we could sit by the flesh pots, and had as much bread as we could eat. Now you've brought us out into this wilderness, to kill the whole assembly of us with famine!"

| 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.
| 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.
|
|The L<small>ORD</small> then told Moses, "Look: I will cause bread to rain out of the sky for you. The people will go out and pick up a daily ration, so that I will test whether they will walk in My Law or not."

| 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.
|
|"When the sixth day comes about, they will prepare what they bring in, and it will be a double ration of what they pick up every day."
|
|So that they could leave off working on the Sabbath.

| 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:
|
|So Moses and Aaron told all the children of Israel, "At evening, you will know that the L<small>ORD</small> brought you out of the land of Egypt."

| 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.
| 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.
|
|Moses said, "In the evening, the L<small>ORD</small> will give you flesh to eat, and bread in the morning, as much bread as you can eat. The L<small>ORD</small> has heard all the complaints that you are making against Him. We are not the issue: you're not so much complaining against us, as against the L<small>ORD</small>."

| 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.
| 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.
|
|Moses told Aaron, "Tell the whole assembly of the children of Israel, 'Come near to the presence of the L<small>ORD</small>. He has heard your complaints.'"

| 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.
|
|So it happened that while Aaron was speaking to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, they were facing toward the wilderness, and they were in awe as the glory of the L<small>ORD</small> appeared to them in a cloud.

|
|When the children of Israel saw this, they said to one another, "What is this?" Because they did not know what it was. Moses told them, "This is the bread that the L<small>ORD</small> is giving you for food."
|
|The [[Hebrew]] word, rendered as [[manna]], is really the relative pronoun ''what'' expressed in the interrogative form. Thus the literal meaning of ''manna'' is "what's-its-name."
