Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1And they set forward from Elim, and all the multitude of the children of Israel came into the desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai: the fifteenth day of the second month, after they came out of the land of Egypt.
1Ἀπῄραν δὲ ἐξ Αἰλεὶμ, καὶ ἤλθοσαν πᾶσα συναγωγὴ υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ εἰς τὴν ἔρημον Σὶν, ὅ ἐστιν ἀνὰ μέσον Αἰλεὶμ, καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Σινά. τῇ δὲ πεντεκαιδεκάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ, τῷ μηνὶ τῷ δευτέρῳ ἐξεληλυθότων αὐτῶν ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου,
2And all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.
2διεγόγγυζε πᾶσα συναγωγὴ υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ Μωυσὴν καὶ Ἀαρών.
3And the children of Israel said to them: Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat over the flesh pots, and ate bread to the full. Why have you brought us into this desert, that you might destroy all the multitude with famine?
3Καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ, ὄφελον ἀπεθάνομεν πληγέντες ὑπὸ Κυρίου ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ, ὅταν ἐκαθίσαμεν ἐπὶ τῶν λεβήτων τῶν κρεῶν, καὶ ἠσθίομεν ἄρτους εἰς πλησμονήν· ὅτι ἐξηγάγετε ἡμᾶς εἰς τὴν ἔρημον ταύτην, ἀποκτεῖναι πᾶσαν τὴν συναγωγὴν ταύτην ἐν λιμῷ.
4And the Lord said to Moses: Behold I will rain bread from heaven for you: let the people go forth, and gather what is sufficient for every day: that I may prove them whether they will walk in my law, or not.
4Εἶπε δὲ Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ὕω ὑμῖν ἄρτους ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ· καὶ ἐξελεύσεται ὁ λαὸς, καὶ συλλέξουσι τὸ τῆς ἡμέρας εἰς ἡμέραν, ὅπως πειράσω αὐτοὺς εἰ πορεύσονται τῷ νόμῳ μου, ἢ οὔ·
5But the sixth day let them provide for to bring in: and let it be double to that they were wont to gather every day.
5Καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἕκτῃ, καὶ ἑτοιμάσουσιν ὃ ἐὰν εἰσενέγκωσι· καὶ ἔσται διπλοῦν ὃ ἐὰν συναγάγωσι τὸ καθʼ ἡμέραν εἰς ἡμέραν.
6And Moses and Aaron said to the children of Israel: In the evening you shall know that the Lord hath brought you forth out of the land of Egypt:
6Καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἀαρὼν πρὸς πάσαν συναγωγὴν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, ἑσπέρας γνώσεσθε, ὅτι Κύριος ἐξήγαγεν ὑμᾶς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου,
7And in the morning you shall see the glory of the Lord: for he hath heard your murmuring against the Lord: but as for us, what are we, that you mutter against us?
7καὶ πρωῒ ὄψεσθε τὴν δόξαν Κυρίου ἐν τῷ εἰσακοῦσαι τὸν γογγυσμὸν ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τῷ Θεῷ· ἡμεῖς δὲ τί ἐσμεν, ὅτι διαγογγύζετε καθʼ ἡμῶν;
8And Moses said: In the evening the Lord will give you flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full: for he hath heard your murmurings, with which you have murmured against him, for what are we? your murmuring is not against us, but against the Lord.
8Καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς, ἐν τῷ διδόναι Κύριον ὑμῖν ἑσπέρας κρέα φαγεῖν, καὶ ἄρτους τὸ πρωῒ εἰς πλησμονὴν, διὰ τὸ εἰσακοῦσαι Κύριον τὸν γογγυσμὸν ὑμῶν, ὃν ὑμεῖς διαγογγύζετε καθʼ ἡμῶν· ἡμεῖς δὲ τί ἐσμεν; οὐ γὰρ καθʼ ἡμῶν ἐστιν ὁ γογγυσμὸς ὑμῶν, ἀλλʼ ἢ κατὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ.
9Moses also said to Aaron: Say to the whole congregation of the children of Israel: Come before the Lord: for he hath heard your murmuring.
9Εἶπε δὲ Μωυσῆς πρὸς Ἀαρὼν, εἶπον πάσῃ συναγωγῇ υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, προσέλθετε ἐναντίον τοῦ Θεοῦ· εἰσακήκοε γὰρ τὸν γογγυσμὸν ὑμῶν.
10And when Aaron spoke to all the assembly of the children of Israel, they looked towards the wilderness: and behold the glory of the Lord appeared in a cloud.
10Ἡνίκα δὲ ἐλάλει Ἀαρὼν πάσῃ συναγωγῇ υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐπεστράφησαν εἰς τὴν ἔρημον, καὶ ἡ δόξα Κυρίου ὤφθη ἐν νεφέλῃ.
11And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
11καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν, λέγων,
12I have heard the murmuring of the children of Israel: say to them: In the evening you shall eat flesh, and in the morning you shall have your fill of bread: and you shall know that I am the Lord your God.
12εἰσακήκοα τὸν γογγυσμὸν τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ· λάλησον πρὸς αὐτοὺς, λέγων, τὸ πρὸς ἑσπέραν ἔδεσθε κρέα, καὶ τὸ πρωῒ πλησθήσεσθε ἄρτων· καὶ γνώσεσθε, ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν.
13So it came to pass in the evening, that quails coming up, covered the camp: and in the morning, a dew lay round about the camp.
13Ἐγένετο δὲ ἑσπέρα· καὶ ἀνέβη ὀρτυγομήτρα, καὶ ἐκάλυψε τὴν παρεμβολήν· τὸ πρωῒ ἐγένετο καταπαυομένης τῆς δρόσου κύκλῳ τῆς παρεμβολῆς.
14And 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.
14Καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τῆς ἐρήμου λεπτὸν ὡσεὶ κόριον λευκὸν, ὡσεὶ πάγος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
15And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another: Manhu! which signifieth: What is this! for they knew not what it was. And Moses said to them: This is the bread, which the Lord hath given you to eat.
15Ἰδόντες δὲ αὐτὸ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ, εἶπαν ἕτερος τῷ ἑτέρῳ, τί ἐστι τοῦτο; οὐ γὰρ ᾔδεισαν τί ἦν· εἶπε δὲ Μωυσῆς αὐτοῖς, οὗτος ὁ ἄρτος, ὃν ἔδωκε Κύριος ὑμῖν φαγεῖν.
16This is the word, that the Lord hath commanded: Let every one gather of it as much as is enough to eat: a gomor for every man, according to the number of your souls that dwell in a tent, so shall you take of it.
16Τοῦτο τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ συνέταξε Κύριος· συναγάγετε ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ ἕκαστος εἰς τοὺς καθήκοντας γομὸρ, κατὰ κεφαλὴν κατὰ ἀριθμὸν ψυχῶν ὑμῶν, ἕκαστος σὺν τοῖς συσκηνίοις ὑμῶν συλλέξατε.
17And the children of Israel did so: and they gathered, one more, another less.
17Ἐποίησαν δὲ οὕτως οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ συνέλεξαν ὁ τὸ πολὺ καὶ ὁ τὸ ἔλαττον.
18And they measured by the measure of a gomor: neither had he more that had gathered more: nor did he find less that had provided less: but every one had gathered, according to what they were able to eat.
18Καὶ μετρήσαντες γομὸρ, οὐκ ἐπλεόνασεν ὁ τὸ πόλυ, καὶ ὁ τὸ ἔλαττον οὐκ ἠλαττόνησεν· ἕκαστος εἰς τοὺς καθήκοντας παρʼ ἑαυτῷ συνέλεξαν.
19And Moses said to them: Let no man leave thereof till the morning.
19Εἶπε δὲ Μωυσῆς πρὸς αὐτοὺς, μηδεὶς καταλειπέτω ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ πρωΐ.
20And they hearkened not to him, but some of them left until the morning, and it began to be full of worms, an it putrified, and Moses was angry with them.
20Καὶ οὐκ εἰσήκουσαν Μωυσῆ, ἀλλὰ κατέλιπόν τινες ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ πρωΐ· καὶ ἐξέζεσε σκώληκας, καὶ ἐπώζεσε· καὶ ἐπικράνθη ἐπʼ αὐτοῖς Μωυσῆς.
21Now every one of them gathered in the morning, as much as might suffice to eat: and after the sun grew hot, it melted.
21Καὶ συνέλεξαν αὐτὸ πρωῒ πρωῒ, ἕκαστος τὸ καθῆκον αὐτῷ· ἡνίκα δὲ διεθέρμαινεν ὁ ἥλιος, ἐτήκετο.
22But on the sixth day they gathered twice as much, that is, two gomors every man: and all the rulers of the multitude came, and told Moses.
22Ἐγένετο δὲ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἕκτῃ, συνέλεξαν τὰ δέοντα διπλᾶ, δύο γομὸρ τῷ ἑνί· εἰσήλθοσαν δὲ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες τῆς συναγωγῆς, καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν Μωυσῇ.
23And he said to them: This is what the Lord hath spoken: Tomorrow is the rest of the sabbath sanctified to the Lord. Whatsoever work is to be done, do it: and the meats that are to be dressed, dress them: and whatsoever shall remain, lay it up until the morning.
23Εἶπε δὲ Μωυσῆς πρὸς αὐτούς, οὐ τοῦτο τὸ ῥῆμά ἐστιν ὃ ἐλάλησε Κύριος; σάββατα ἀνάπαυσις ἁγία τῷ Κυρίῳ αὔριον· ὅσα ἐὰν πέσσητε, πέσσετε· καὶ ὅσα ἐὰν ἕψητε, ἕψετε· καὶ πᾶν τὸ πλεονάζον καταλείπετε αὐτὸ εἰς ἀποθήκην εἰς τὸ πρωΐ.
24And they did so as Moses had commanded, and it did not putrify, neither was there worm found in it.
24Καὶ κατελίποσαν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ εἰς ἕως πρωῒ, καθὼς συνέταξεν αὐτοῖς Μωυσῆς· καὶ οὐκ ἐπώζεσεν, οὐδὲ σκώληξ ἐγένετο ἐν αὐτῷ.
25And Moses said: Eat it today, because it is the sabbath of the Lord: today it shall not be found in the field.
25Εἶπε δὲ Μωυσῆς, φάγετε σήμερον· ἔστι γὰρ σάββατα αήμερον τῷ Κυρίῳ· οὐχ εὑρεθήσεται ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ.
26Gather it six days: but on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord, therefore it shall not be found.
26Ἓξ ἡμέρας συλλέξετε· τῇ δὲ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ σάββατα, ὅτι οὐκ ἔσται ἐν αὐτῇ.
27And the seventh day came: and some of the people going forth to gather, found none.
27Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ ἐξήθλοσάν τινες ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ συλλέξαι, καὶ οὐχ εὗρον.
28And the Lord said to Moses: How long will you refuse to keep my commandments, and my law?
28Εἶπε δὲ Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν, ἕως τίνος οὐ βούλεσθε εἰσακούειν τὰς ἐντολάς μου, καὶ τὸν νόμον μου;
29See that the Lord hath given you the sabbath, and for this reason on the sixth day he giveth you a double provision: let each man stay at home, and let none go forth out of his place the seventh day.
29Ἴδετε, ὁ γὰρ Κύριος ἔδωκεν ὑμῖν σάββατα τὴν ἡμέραν ταύτην· διὰ τοῦτο αὐτὸς ἔδωκεν ὑμῖν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἕκτῃ ἄρτους δύο ἡμερῶν· καθίσεσθε ἕκαστος εἰς τοὺς οἴκους ὑμῶν· μηδεὶς ἐκπορευέσθω ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ.
30And the people kept the sabbath on the seventh day.
30Καὶ ἐσαββάτισεν ὁ λαὸς τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ.
31And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed white, and the taste thereof like to flour with honey.
31Καὶ ἐπωνόμασαν αὐτὸ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, Μάν· ἦν δὲ ὡσεὶ σπέρμα κορίου λευκόν· τὸ δὲ γεῦμα αὐτοῦ ὡς ἐγκρὶς ἐν μέλιτι.
32And Moses said: This is the word, which the Lord hath commanded: Fill a gomor of it, and let it be kept unto generations to come hereafter, that they may know the bread, wherewith I fed you in the wilderness, when you were brought forth out of the land of Egypt.
32Εἶπε δὲ Μωυσῆς, τοῦτο τὸ ῥῆμα, ὃ συνέταξε Κύριος, πλήσατε τὸ γομὸρ τοῦ μὰν, εἰς ἀποθήκην εἰς τὰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν· ἵνα ἴδωσι τὸν ἄρτον, ὃν ἐφάγετε ὑμεῖς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, ὡς ἐξήγαγεν ὑμᾶς Κύριος ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου.
33And Moses said to Aaron: Take a vessel, and put manna into it, as much as a gomor can hold: and lay it up before the Lord to keep unto your generations,
33Καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς πρὸς Ἀαρὼν, λάβε στάμνον χρυσοῦν ἕνα, καὶ ἔμβαλε εἰς αὐτὸν πλῆρες τὸ γομὸρ τοῦ μὰν, καὶ ἀποθήσεις αὐτὸ ἐναντίον τοῦ Θεοῦ, εἰς διατήρησιν εἰς τὰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν,
34As the Lord commanded Moses. And Aaron put it in the tabernacle to be kept.
34ὃν τρόπον συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ· καὶ ἀπέθηκεν Ἀαρὼν ἐναντίον τοῦ μαρτυρίου εἰς διατήρησιν.
35And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, till they came to a habitable land: with this meat were they fed, until they reached the borders of the land of Chanaan.
35Οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἔφαγον τὸ μὰν ἔτη τεσσαράκοντα, ἕως ἦλθον εἰς τὴν οἰκουμένην ἐφάγοσαν τὸ μὰν, ἕως παρεγένοντο εἰς μέρος τῆς Φοινίκης.
36Now a gomor is the tenth part of an ephi.
36Τὸ δὲ γομὸρ τὸ δέκατον τῶν τριῶν μέτρων ἦν.
