Exodus 16:3 in Context — Exodus 16
1 Depois que partiram de Elim, toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel veio ao deserto de Sim, que está entre Elim e Sinai, aos quinze dias do segundo mês depois que saíram da terra do Egito.
2 E toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel murmurou contra Moisés e Arão no deserto;
3 E diziam-lhes os filhos de Israel: Bom seria se tivéssemos morrido por meio do SENHOR na terra do Egito, quando nos sentávamos junto às panelas das carnes, quando comíamos pão em fartura; pois nos tirastes a este deserto, para matar de fome a toda esta multidão.
4 E o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Eis que eu vos farei chover pão do céu; e o povo sairá, e colherá para cada um dia, para que eu lhe prove se anda em minha lei, ou não.
5 Mas ao sexto dia prepararão o que coletarem, que será o dobro do que costumam colher cada dia.
