Exodus 16:15-17
International Standard Version
15 When the Israelis saw it, they asked one another, “What is it?”,[a] because they did not know what it was.
Moses told them, “It’s the food that the Lord has given you to eat. 16 This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘You are to gather from it what each person is to eat,[b] about one omer[c] per person according to the number of your people, and one person is to gather for everyone in his tent.’”
17 The Israelis did this, some gathering much, some little.
