11 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

12 PI have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and 'in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God. 13 And it came to pass, that at even

29 See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days: abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
