12I have heard the murmuring of the children of Israel: speak to them, saying, Toward evening ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be satisfied with bread; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God.

13And it was evening, and quails came up and covered the camp:

— Exodus 16:14 —

15And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, What is this? for they knew not what it was; and Moses said to them,

16This is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat. This is that which the Lord has appointed: gather of it each man for his family, an omer for each person, according to the number of your souls, gather each of you with his fellow lodgers.
