²⁷ He sent down meat on them like dust, and feathered birds like the sand of the sea,

¹² The outcry of the children of Israel has come to my ears: say to them now, At nightfall you will have meat for your food, and in the morning bread in full measure; and you will see that I am the Lord your God.

¹³ And it came about that in the evening little birds came up and the place was covered with them: and in the morning there was dew all round about the tents.

¹⁸ And say to the people, Make yourselves clean before tomorrow and you will have flesh for your food: for in the ears of the Lord you have been weeping and saying, Who will give us flesh for food? for we were well off in Egypt: and so the Lord will give you flesh, and it will be your food;

¹⁹ Not for one day only, or even for five or ten or twenty days;

³² And all that day and all night and the day after, the people were taking up the birds; the smallest amount which anyone got was ten homers: and they put them out all round the tents.
