Exodus16v4t15
4: The Lord said to Moses, “I shall rain down bread from heaven for you. Each day the people are to go out and gather a day’s supply, so that I can put them to the test and see whether they follow my instructions or not.
5: But on the sixth day, when they prepare what they bring in, it should be twice as much as they gather on other days.”
6: Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, “In the evening you will know that it was the Lord who brought you out of Egypt,
7: and in the morning you will see the glory of the Lord, because He has listened to your complaints against Him. Who are we that you should bring complaints against us?
8: ‘You will now this,” said Moses, “when in answer to your complaints the Lord gives you flesh to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread in plenty. What are we? It is against the Lord that you bring your complaints, not against us.”
9: Moses told Aaron to say to the whole community of Israel, “Come into the presence of the Lord, for He has listened to your complaints.”

11: The Lord spoke to Moses.
12: “I have heard the complaints of the Israelites. Say to them: between dusk and dark you will have flesh to eat and in the morning bread in plenty. You will know that I the Lord am your God.”
13: That evening a flock of quails flew in and settled over the whole camp; in the morning a fall of dew lay all around it.
14: When the dew was gone, there over the surface of the wilderness fine flakes appeared, fine as hoar-frost on the ground.
15: When the Israelites saw it, they said to one another, “What is that?” because they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, “That is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat.”
