"When the layer of dew had evaporated, there on the surface of the wilderness was a thin flaky substance, thin like frost on the earth."
— Exodus 16:14, NET Bible
“And 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.”
“And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness a small round thing, small as the hoar-frost on the ground. ”
“When 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.”
“And when it had covered the face of the earth, it appeared in the wilderness small, and as it were beaten with a pestle, like unto the hoar frost on the ground.”
“And when the dew was gone, on the face of the earth was a small round thing, like small drops of ice on the earth.”
“And 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.”
and the LORD spoke to Moses:
“I have heard the murmurings of the Israelites. Tell them,‘During the evening you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be satisfied with bread, so that you may know that I am the LORD your God.’”
In the evening the quail came up and covered the camp, and in the morning a layer of dew was all around the camp.
When the layer of dew had evaporated, there on the surface of the wilderness was a thin flaky substance, thin like frost on the earth.
When the Israelites saw it, they said to one another,“What is it?” because they did not know what it was. Moses said to them,“It is the bread that the LORD has given you for food.
“This is what the LORD has commanded:‘Each person is to gather from it what he can eat, an omer per person according to the number of your people; each one will pick it up for whoever lives in his tent.’”
The Israelites did so, and they gathered– some more, some less.
