Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
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.
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,
2The whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;
2διεγόγγυζε πᾶσα συναγωγὴ υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ Μωυσὴν καὶ Ἀαρών.
3and the children of Israel said to them, “We wish that we had died by the LORD’s hand 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.”
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.
4Then the LORD 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.
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·
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.”
5Καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἕκτῃ, καὶ ἑτοιμάσουσιν ὃ ἐὰν εἰσενέγκωσι· καὶ ἔσται διπλοῦν ὃ ἐὰν συναγάγωσι τὸ καθʼ ἡμέραν εἰς ἡμέραν.
6Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, “At evening, you shall know that the LORD has brought you out from the land of Egypt.
6Καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἀαρὼν πρὸς πάσαν συναγωγὴν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, ἑσπέρας γνώσεσθε, ὅτι Κύριος ἐξήγαγεν ὑμᾶς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου,
7In the morning, you shall see the LORD’s glory; because he hears your murmurings against the LORD. Who are we, that you murmur 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;
8Moses said, “Now the LORD will give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you, because the LORD hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are 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 said to Aaron, “Tell all the congregation of the children of Israel, ‘Come close to the LORD, for he has heard your murmurings.’”
9Εἶπε δὲ Μωυσῆς πρὸς Ἀαρὼν, εἶπον πάσῃ συναγωγῇ υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, προσέλθετε ἐναντίον τοῦ Θεοῦ· εἰσακήκοε γὰρ τὸν γογγυσμὸν ὑμῶν.
10As Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the LORD’s glory appeared in the cloud.
10Ἡνίκα δὲ ἐλάλει Ἀαρὼν πάσῃ συναγωγῇ υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐπεστράφησαν εἰς τὴν ἔρημον, καὶ ἡ δόξα Κυρίου ὤφθη ἐν νεφέλῃ.
11The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
11καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν, λέγων,
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. Then you will 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.
13In the evening, quail came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay around the camp.
13Ἐγένετο δὲ ἑσπέρα· καὶ ἀνέβη ὀρτυγομήτρα, καὶ ἐκάλυψε τὴν παρεμβολήν· τὸ πρωῒ ἐγένετο καταπαυομένης τῆς δρόσου κύκλῳ τῆς παρεμβολῆς.
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.
14Καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τῆς ἐρήμου λεπτὸν ὡσεὶ κόριον λευκὸν, ὡσεὶ πάγος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
15When the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they didn’t know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread which the LORD has 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 thing which the LORD has commanded: ‘Gather of it everyone according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, you shall take it, every man for those who are in his tent.’”
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.
17The children of Israel did so, and some gathered more, some less.
17Ἐποίησαν δὲ οὕτως οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ συνέλεξαν ὁ τὸ πολὺ καὶ ὁ τὸ ἔλαττον.
18When they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack. They each gathered according to his eating.
18Καὶ μετρήσαντες γομὸρ, οὐκ ἐπλεόνασεν ὁ τὸ πόλυ, καὶ ὁ τὸ ἔλαττον οὐκ ἠλαττόνησεν· ἕκαστος εἰς τοὺς καθήκοντας παρʼ ἑαυτῷ συνέλεξαν.
19Moses said to them, “Let no one leave of it until the morning.”
19Εἶπε δὲ Μωυσῆς πρὸς αὐτοὺς, μηδεὶς καταλειπέτω ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ πρωΐ.
20Notwithstanding they didn’t listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, so it bred worms and became foul; 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.
21They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.
21Καὶ συνέλεξαν αὐτὸ πρωῒ πρωῒ, ἕκαστος τὸ καθῆκον αὐτῷ· ἡνίκα δὲ διεθέρμαινεν ὁ ἥλιος, ἐτήκετο.
22On 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.
22Ἐγένετο δὲ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἕκτῃ, συνέλεξαν τὰ δέοντα διπλᾶ, δύο γομὸρ τῷ ἑνί· εἰσήλθοσαν δὲ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες τῆς συναγωγῆς, καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν Μωυσῇ.
23He said to them, “This is that which the LORD has spoken, ‘Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. 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.’”
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.
24They laid it up until the morning, as Moses ordered, and it didn’t become foul, and there were no worms in it.
24Καὶ κατελίποσαν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ εἰς ἕως πρωῒ, καθὼς συνέταξεν αὐτοῖς Μωυσῆς· καὶ οὐκ ἐπώζεσεν, οὐδὲ σκώληξ ἐγένετο ἐν αὐτῷ.
25Moses said, “Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to the LORD. Today you shall not find it in the field.
25Εἶπε δὲ Μωυσῆς, φάγετε σήμερον· ἔστι γὰρ σάββατα αήμερον τῷ Κυρίῳ· οὐχ εὑρεθήσεται ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ.
26Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none.”
26Ἓξ ἡμέρας συλλέξετε· τῇ δὲ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ σάββατα, ὅτι οὐκ ἔσται ἐν αὐτῇ.
27On the seventh day, some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.
27Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ ἐξήθλοσάν τινες ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ συλλέξαι, καὶ οὐχ εὗρον.
28The LORD said to Moses, “How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?
28Εἶπε δὲ Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν, ἕως τίνος οὐ βούλεσθε εἰσακούειν τὰς ἐντολάς μου, καὶ τὸν νόμον μου;
29Behold, because the LORD 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.”
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.
30So the people rested on the seventh day.
30Καὶ ἐσαββάτισεν ὁ λαὸς τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ.
31The house of Israel called its name “Manna”, and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers 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.
32Moses said, “This is the thing which the LORD 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 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.
33Moses said to Aaron, “Take a pot, and put an omer-full of manna in it, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept throughout 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, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
34ὃν τρόπον συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ· καὶ ἀπέθηκεν Ἀαρὼν ἐναντίον τοῦ μαρτυρίου εἰς διατήρησιν.
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.
35Οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἔφαγον τὸ μὰν ἔτη τεσσαράκοντα, ἕως ἦλθον εἰς τὴν οἰκουμένην ἐφάγοσαν τὸ μὰν, ἕως παρεγένοντο εἰς μέρος τῆς Φοινίκης.
36Now an omer is one tenth of an ephah.
36Τὸ δὲ γομὸρ τὸ δέκατον τῶν τριῶν μέτρων ἦν.
