Yahweh Provides Food In The Desert

3 and the sons of Israel said unto them - Oh that we had died by the hand of Yahweh, in the land of Egypt, when we remained by the pot of flesh, when we did eat bread to the full, - for ye have brought us forth into this desert, to cause all this multitude to die by famine. 4 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Behold me! ruining down for you bread out of heaven, - and the people shall go out and gather the portion for a day, on its day, that I may prove them whether they will walk in my law, or not. 5 And it shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall settle what they shall bring in, - and it shall be twice as much as they gather day by day.
