1 Salieron de Elim. Toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel salió de Elim y llegó al desierto de Sin, que está entre Elim y Sinaí, a los 15 días del segundo mes después de la salida de la tierra de Egipto.
1 They 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.
2 Entonces toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel murmuró contra Moisés y Aarón en el desierto.
2 The whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;
3 Los hijos de Israel les decían: ¡Ojalá hubiéramos muerto por la mano de Yavé en la tierra de Egipto, cuando nos sentábamos junto a las ollas de carne, cuando comíamos pan hasta la saciedad! Ustedes nos sacaron a este desierto para matar de hambre a toda esta multitud.
3 and the children of Israel said to them, “We wish that we had died by Yahweh’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.”
4 Yavé dijo a Moisés: Mira, Yo hago llover pan del cielo para ustedes. Saldrá el pueblo y recogerá la ración diaria cada día, a fin de Yo probarlo, si anda en mi Ley, o no.
4 Then 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.
5 Pero en el sexto día, cuando preparen lo que van a llevar a casa, será el doble de lo que recogen diariamente.
5 It 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.”
6 Moisés y Aarón dijeron a todos los hijos de Israel: En la tarde comprenderán que Yavé los sacó de la tierra de Egipto,
6 Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, “At evening, you shall know that Yahweh has brought you out from the land of Egypt.
7 y por la mañana verán la gloria de Yavé, porque Él escuchó sus murmuraciones contra Yavé. Pues nosotros, ¿quiénes somos para que murmuren contra nosotros?
7 In the morning, you shall see Yahweh’s glory; because he hears your murmurings against Yahweh. Who are we, that you murmur against us?”
8 Y Moisés dijo: Cuando Yavé les dé por la tarde carne para comer, y por la mañana pan hasta saciarlos, será porque Yavé escuchó sus murmuraciones que expresaron contra Él, porque nosotros, ¿quiénes somos? Sus murmuraciones no son contra nosotros, sino contra Yavé.
8 Moses said, “Now Yahweh will 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.”
9 Y Moisés dijo a Aarón: Dí a toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel: Acérquense ante la Presencia de Yavé, pues Él escuchó sus murmuraciones.
9 Moses said to Aaron, “Tell all the congregation of the children of Israel, ‘Come close to Yahweh, for he has heard your murmurings.’”
10 Sucedió que mientras Aarón hablaba a toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel, miraron hacia el desierto, ¡y ahí apareció la gloria de Yavé en la nube!
10 As Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, Yahweh’s glory appeared in the cloud.
11 Yavé habló a Moisés:
11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
12 Yo escuché las murmuraciones de los hijos de Israel. Diles: Al llegar la noche comerán carne, y por la mañana se saciarán de pan. Y entenderán que Yo soy Yavé su ʼElohim.
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 Yahweh your God.’”
13 Ocurrió que al llegar la noche salieron las codornices y cubrieron el campamento. En la mañana había una capa de rocío alrededor del campamento.
13 In the evening, quail came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay around the camp.
14 Cuando la capa de rocío se evaporó, ahí estaba sobre la superficie del desierto una cosa menuda como escamas, delgada como la escarcha sobre la tierra.
14 When 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.
15 Cuando los hijos de Israel la vieron, se dijeron unos a otros: ¿Maná? [Es decir]: ¿Qué es esto? Pues no sabían qué era eso. Entonces Moisés les dijo: Esto es el pan que Yavé les da para comer.
15 When 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 Yahweh has given you to eat.
16 Esto es lo que Yavé ordenó: Recoja de él cada hombre tanto como va a comer: Conforme al número de personas que cada uno tiene en su tienda, un gomer por persona.
16 This is the thing which Yahweh 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.’”
17 Así lo hicieron los hijos de Israel, y recogieron unos más, otros menos.
17 The children of Israel did so, and some gathered more, some less.
18 Lo medían por gomer, y no sobraba al que recogió mucho, ni faltaba al que recogió poco. Cada uno recogió tanto como iba a comer.
18 When 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.
19 Moisés les dijo: Ninguno deje algo de él para la mañana.
19 Moses said to them, “Let no one leave of it until the morning.”
20 Pero no obedecieron a Moisés, sino algunos dejaron de él hasta el día siguiente, y crió gusanos y hedió. Y Moisés se airó contra ellos.
20 Notwithstanding 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.
21 Así pues, lo recogían de mañana en mañana, cada uno según lo que iba a comer. Cuando el sol calentaba, se derretía.
21 They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.
22 Sucedió que el sexto día recogieron el doble de alimento, 4,4 litros para cada uno. Todos los principales de la congregación acudieron a Moisés, y le informaron.
22 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.
23 Él les dijo: Esto es lo que Yavé dijo: Mañana es sábado santo para Yavé. Lo que van a hornear, hornéenlo. Lo que van a cocinar, cocínenlo, y todo lo que sobre, deposítenlo para conservarlo hasta mañana.
23 He 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.’”
24 Lo depositaron hasta el día siguiente, como Moisés ordenó, y no hedió ni hubo gusano en él.
24 They laid it up until the morning, as Moses ordered, and it didn’t become foul, and there were no worms in it.
25 Moisés dijo: Cómanlo hoy, porque hoy es sábado para Yavé. Hoy no lo hallarán en el campo.
25 Moses said, “Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to Yahweh. Today you shall not find it in the field.
26 Seis días lo recogerán, pero el séptimo día es sábado. En él no habrá.
26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none.”
27 Sin embargo, aconteció que algunos del pueblo salieron a recoger el día séptimo, y no encontraron.
27 On the seventh day, some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.
28 Entonces Yavé dijo a Moisés: ¿Hasta cuándo rehusarán guardar mis Mandamientos y mis Leyes?
28 Yahweh said to Moses, “How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?
29 Miren que Yavé les dio el sábado, por tanto en el sexto día les da pan para dos días. Permanezca cada uno en su sitio, y nadie salga de su lugar el sábado.
29 Behold, 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.”
30 El pueblo reposó el sábado.
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
31 La casa de Israel lo llamó maná. Era como semillas de cilantro blanco, y su sabor era como de hojuelas con miel.
31 The house of Israel called its name “Manna”, and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey.
32 Moisés dijo: Esto es lo que Yavé ordenó: Llenen 2,2 litros de él, y consérvenlo a través de sus generaciones para que vean el pan que Yo les dí a comer en el desierto cuando los saqué de la tierra de Egipto.
32 Moses 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 out of the land of Egypt.’”
33 Y Moisés dijo a Aarón: Toma una vasija y pon en ella 2,2 litros de maná, y ponlo delante de Yavé a fin de conservarlo a través de sus generaciones.
33 Moses 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.”
34 Aarón lo puso delante del Testimonio para guardarlo, como Yavé ordenó a Moisés.
34 As Yahweh commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
35 Así los hijos de Israel comieron maná 40 años, hasta que llegaron a una tierra habitada. Comieron maná hasta que llegaron al límite de la tierra de Canaán.
35 The 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.
36 Un gomer es la décima parte del efa.
36 Now an omer is one tenth of an ephah.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Unto Whom saith the heart of the faithful, I will be filled, not with the flesh-pots of the Egyptians, nor with melons and gourds, and garlick and onions, which a generation crooked and embittering did prefer even to bread celestial, nor with visible manna, and those same winged fowls; but, "I will be filled, when Thy glory shall be made …
