Exodus 16:31-36

Exodus 16:31-36 NCV

The people of Israel called the food manna. It was like small white seeds and tasted like wafers made with honey. Then Moses said, “The LORD said, ‘Save two quarts of this food for your descendants. Then they can see the food I gave you to eat in the desert when I brought you out of Egypt.’ ” Moses told Aaron, “Take a jar and fill it with two quarts of manna. Then place it before the LORD, and save it for your descendants.” So Aaron did what the LORD had commanded Moses. He put the jar of manna in front of the Agreement to keep it safe. The Israelites ate manna for forty years, until they came to the land where they settled—the edge of the land of Canaan. The measure they used for the manna was two quarts, or one-tenth of an ephah.
