¹ثم ارتحلوا من ايليم واتى كل جماعة بني اسرائيل الى برية سين التي بين ايليم وسيناء في اليوم الخامس عشر من الشهر الثاني بعد خروجهم من ارض مصر.

¹They took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to 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.

²فتذمر كل جماعة بني اسرائيل على موسى وهرون في البرية.

²The whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;

³وقال لهما بنو اسرائيل ليتنا متنا بيد الرب في ارض مصر اذ كنا جالسين عند قدور اللحم نأكل خبزا للشبع. فانكما اخرجتمانا الى هذا القفر لكي تميتا كل هذا الجمهور بالجوع

³and the children of Israel said to them, “We wish that we had died by the hand of Yahweh in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots, when we ate our fill of bread, for you have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.”

⁴فقال الرب لموسى ها انا امطر لكم خبزا من السماء. فيخرج الشعب ويلتقطون حاجة اليوم بيومها. لكي امتحنهم أيسلكون في ناموسي ام لا.

⁴Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, I will rain bread from the sky for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.

⁵ويكون في اليوم السادس انهم يهيئون ما يجيئون به فيكون ضعف ما يلتقطونه يوما فيوما.

⁵It shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall prepare that which they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.”

⁶فقال موسى وهرون لجميع بني اسرائيل في المساء تعلمون ان الرب اخرجكم من ارض مصر.

⁶Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, “At evening, then you shall know that Yahweh has brought you out from the land of Egypt;

⁷وفي الصباح ترون مجد الرب لاستماعه تذمّركم على الرب. واما نحن فماذا حتى تتذمروا علينا.

⁷and in the morning, then you shall see the glory of Yahweh; because he hears your murmurings against Yahweh. Who are we, that you murmur against us?”

⁸وقال موسى. ذلك بان الرب يعطيكم في المساء لحما لتاكلوا وفي الصباح خبزا لتشبعوا لاستماع الرب تذمّركم الذي تتذمرون عليه. واما نحن فماذا. ليس علينا تذمّركم بل على الرب.

⁸Moses said, “Now Yahweh shall give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you; because Yahweh hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Yahweh.”

⁹وقال موسى لهرون قل لكل جماعة بني اسرائيل اقتربوا الى امام الرب لانه قد سمع تذمّركم.

⁹Moses said to Aaron, “Tell all the congregation of the children of Israel, ‘Come near before Yahweh, for he has heard your murmurings.’”

¹⁰فحدث اذ كان هرون يكلم كل جماعة بني اسرائيل انهم التفتوا نحو البرية. واذا مجد الرب قد ظهر في السحاب.

¹⁰It happened, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of Yahweh appeared in the cloud.

¹¹فكلم الرب موسى قائلا.

¹¹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹²سمعت تذمر بني اسرائيل. كلمهم قائلا في العشية تاكلون لحما وفي الصباح تشبعون خبزا. وتعلمون اني انا الرب الهكم

¹²“I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, ‘At evening you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread: and you shall know that I am Yahweh your God.’”

¹³فكان في المساء ان السلوى صعدت وغطت المحلّة. وفي الصباح كان سقيط الندى حوالي المحلّة.

¹³It happened at evening that quail came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay around the camp.

¹⁴ولما ارتفع سقيط الندى اذا على وجه البرية شيء دقيق مثل قشور. دقيق كالجليد على الارض.

¹⁴When 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.

¹⁵فلما رأى بنو اسرائيل قالوا بعضهم لبعض من هو. لانهم لم يعرفوا ما هو. فقال لهم موسى هو الخبز الذي اعطاكم الرب لتاكلوا.

¹⁵When the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, “What is it?” For they didn’t know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread which Yahweh has given you to eat.”

¹⁶هذا هو الشيء الذي امر به الرب التقطوا منه كل واحد على حسب اكله عمرا للراس على عدد نفوسكم تاخذون كل واحد للذين في خيمته

¹⁶This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded: “Gather of it everyone according to his eating; an omer An omer is about 2.2 litres or about 2.3 quarts a head, according to the number of your persons, you shall take it, every man for those who are in his tent.”

¹⁷ففعل بنو اسرائيل هكذا والتقطوا بين مكثّر ومقلّل.

¹⁷The children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less.

¹⁸ولما كالوا بالعمر لم يفضل المكثر والمقلل لم ينقص. كانوا قد التقطوا كل واحد على حسب اكله.

¹⁸When they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack. They gathered every man according to his eating.

¹⁹وقال لهم موسى لا يبقي احد منه الى الصباح.

¹⁹Moses said to them, “Let no one leave of it until the morning.”

²⁰لكنهم لم يسمعوا لموسى بل ابقى منه اناس الى الصباح. فتولّد فيه دود وانتن. فسخط عليهم موسى.

²⁰Notwithstanding they didn’t listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul: and Moses was angry with them.

²¹وكانوا يلتقطونه صباحا فصباحا كل واحد على حسب اكله. واذا حميت الشمس كان يذوب

²¹They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.

²²ثم كان في اليوم السادس انهم التقطوا خبزا مضاعفا عمرين للواحد. فجاء كل رؤساء الجماعة واخبروا موسى.

²²It happened that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one, and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.

²³فقال لهم هذا ما قال الرب غدا عطلة سبت مقدس للرب. اخبزوا ما تخبزون واطبخوا ما تطبخون. وكل ما فضل ضعوه عندكم ليحفظ الى الغد.

²³He said to them, “This is that which Yahweh has spoken, ‘Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to Yahweh. Bake that which you want to bake, and boil that which you want to boil; and all that remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning.’”

²⁴فوضعوه الى الغد كما امر موسى. فلم ينتن ولا صار فيه دود.

²⁴They laid it up until the morning, as Moses asked, and it didn’t become foul, neither was there any worm in it.

²⁵فقال موسى كلوه اليوم لان للرب اليوم سبتا. اليوم لا تجدونه في الحقل.

²⁵Moses said, “Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to Yahweh. Today you shall not find it in the field.

²⁶ستة ايام تلتقطونه. واما اليوم السابع ففيه سبت. لا يوجد فيه

²⁶Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none.”

²⁷وحدث في اليوم السابع ان بعض الشعب خرجوا ليلتقطوا فلم يجدوا.

²⁷It happened on the seventh day, that some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.

²⁸فقال الرب لموسى الى متى تأبون ان تحفظوا وصاياي وشرائعي.

²⁸Yahweh said to Moses, “How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?

²⁹انظروا. ان الرب اعطاكم السبت لذلك هو يعطيكم في اليوم السادس خبز يومين. اجلسوا كل واحد في مكانه. لا يخرج احد من مكانه في اليوم السابع.

²⁹Behold, because Yahweh has given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days. Everyone stay in his place. Let no one go out of his place on the seventh day.”

³⁰فاستراح الشعب في اليوم السابع.

³⁰So the people rested on the seventh day.

³¹ودعا بيت اسرائيل اسمه منّا. وهو كبزر الكزبرة ابيض وطعمه كرقاق بعسل

³¹The house of Israel called its name Manna, “Manna” means “What is it?” and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey.

³²وقال موسى هذا هو الشيء الذي امر به الرب. ملء العمر منه يكون للحفظ في اجيالكم. لكي يروا الخبز الذي اطعمتكم في البرية حين اخرجتكم من ارض مصر.

³²Moses said, “This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded, ‘Let an omer-full of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.’”

³³وقال موسى لهرون خذ قسطا واحدا واجعل فيه ملء العمر منّا وضعه امام الرب للحفظ في اجيالكم.

³³Moses said to Aaron, “Take a pot, and put an omer-full of manna in it, and lay it up before Yahweh, to be kept throughout your generations.”

³⁴كما امر الرب موسى وضعه هرون امام الشهادة للحفظ.

³⁴As Yahweh commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

³⁵واكل بنو اسرائيل المنّ اربعين سنة حتى جاءوا الى ارض عامرة. اكلوا المنّ حتى جاءوا الى طرف ارض كنعان.

³⁵The children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.

³⁶واما العمر فهو عشر الإيفة

³⁶Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah. 1 ephah is about 22 litres or about 2/3 of a bushel
