Chapter 16 of Exodus—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ Then they set out from Elim, and all the congregation of the sons of Israel came to the wilderness of 1Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on 2the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure from the land of Egypt.
  2. The whole congregation of the sons of Israel 3grumbled against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.
  3. The sons of Israel said to them, “4Would that we had died by the LORD’S hand in the land of Egypt, 5when we sat by the pots of [a]meat, when we ate bread to the full; for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.”
  4. ¶ Then the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, 6I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, that I may 7test them, whether or not they will walk in My [b]instruction.
  5. 8On the sixth day, when they prepare what they bring in, it will be twice as much as they gather daily.”
  6. So Moses and Aaron said to all the sons of Israel, “At evening [c]9you will know that the LORD has brought you out of the land of Egypt;
  7. and in the morning [d]you will see 10the glory of the LORD, for 11He hears your grumblings against the LORD; and 12what are we, that you grumble against us?”
  8. ¶ Moses said, “This will happen when the LORD gives you [e]meat to eat in the evening, and bread to the full in the morning; for the LORD hears your grumblings which you grumble against Him. And what are we? Your grumblings are 13not against us but against the LORD.”
  9. ¶ Then Moses said to Aaron, “Say to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, ‘14Come near before the LORD, for He has heard your grumblings.’”
  10. It came about as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, that they [f]looked toward the wilderness, and behold, 15the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.
  11. And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
  12. “16I have heard the grumblings of the sons of Israel; speak to them, saying, ‘[g]At twilight you shall eat [h]meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread; and 17you shall know that I am the LORD your God.’”
  13. ¶ So it came about at evening that 18the quails came up and covered the camp, and in the morning 19there was a layer of dew around the camp.
  14. 20When the layer of dew [i]evaporated, behold, on the [j]surface of the wilderness 21there was a fine flake-like thing, fine as the frost on the ground.
  15. When the sons of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “[k]What is it?” For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, “22It is the bread which the LORD has given you to eat.
  16. This is [l]what the LORD has commanded, ‘Gather of it every man [m]as much as he should eat; you shall take [n]23an omer apiece according to the number of persons each of you has in his tent.’”
  17. The sons of Israel did so, and some gathered much and some little.
  18. When they measured it with an omer, 24he who had gathered much had no excess, and he who had gathered little had no lack; every man gathered [o]as much as he should eat.
  19. Moses said to them, “25Let no man leave any of it until morning.”
  20. But they did not listen to Moses, and some left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and became foul; and Moses was angry with them.
  21. They gathered it morning by morning, every man [p]as much as he should eat; but when the sun grew hot, it would melt.
  22. 26Now on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one. When all the 27leaders of the congregation came and told Moses,
  23. then he said to them, “This is what the LORD [q]meant: 28Tomorrow is a sabbath observance, a holy sabbath to the LORD. Bake what you will bake and boil what you will boil, and 29all that is left over [r]put aside to be kept until morning.”
  24. So they [s]put it aside until morning, as Moses had ordered, and 30it did not become foul nor was there any worm in it.
  25. Moses said, “Eat it today, for today is a sabbath to the LORD; today you will not find it in the field.
  26. 31Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, the sabbath, there will be [t]none.”
  27. ¶ It came about on the seventh day that some of the people went out to gather, but they found none.
  28. Then the LORD said to Moses, “32How long do you refuse to keep My commandments and My [u]instructions?
  29. See, [v]the LORD has given you the sabbath; therefore He gives you bread for two days on the sixth day. Remain every man in his place; let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.”
  30. So the people rested on the seventh day.
  31. ¶ The house of 33Israel named it [w]manna, and it was like 34coriander seed, white, and its taste was like wafers with honey.
  32. Then Moses said, “This is [x]what the LORD has commanded, ‘Let an omerful of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread that I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”
  33. Moses said to Aaron, “35Take a jar and put an omerful of manna in it, and place it before the LORD to be kept throughout your generations.”
  34. As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron placed it before 36the Testimony, to be kept.
  35. 37The sons of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land; they ate the manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan.
  36. (Now 38an omer is a tenth of an [y]ephah.)

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
