Gen Z: Exodus 16
1They dipped from Elim, and the whole squad of Israelites rolled up to the wilderness of Sin, between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they bounced from Egypt.
2The whole crew of Israelites was low-key complaining against Moses and Aaron in the wild.
3The Israelites were like, "Fr, we wish we had just kicked the bucket in Egypt, chilling by the meat pots and munching on bread; now you brought us out here to starve us."
4Then the Lord hit up Moses, saying, "Ayo, I’m about to rain bread from heaven for you; the people gotta go out and gather some every day to see if they’ll follow my rules or nah."
5And on the sixth day, they gotta prep what they bring in; it’ll be double what they usually gather.
6Moses and Aaron told all the Israelites, "When evening hits, you’ll know the Lord brought you out of Egypt."
7And in the morning, you’ll see the Lord’s glory; He hears your complaints against Him, so what’s our deal that you’re coming for us?
8Moses said, "This is how it’ll go down: when the Lord gives you meat in the evening and bread in the morning, He hears your complaints against Him; it ain’t us, it’s totally against the Lord."
9Moses told Aaron, "Tell the whole squad of Israelites to come close to the Lord; He’s heard your complaints."
10And as Aaron spoke to the whole crew of Israelites, they looked towards the wilderness, and boom, the glory of the Lord showed up in the cloud.
11And the Lord was like, "Yo Moses, check this out."
12I heard the Israelites complaining, so tell them, "At night you’ll munch on meat, and in the morning you’ll feast on bread; you'll know I’m the Lord your God, no cap."
13Then, at night, the quails rolled up and covered the camp; in the morning, the dew was all around the squad.
14When the dew was gone, there was this small round thing on the ground, like frost but lowkey.
15The Israelites saw it and were like, "What’s this manna?" They didn’t even know what it was. Moses was like, "This is the bread the Lord gave you to munch on."
16This is what the Lord said, "Gather what you need, an omer for each person; take what you need for your crew in the tents."
17The Israelites did that, some got more, some got less, but they all made it work.
18When they measured it out with an omer, the ones who gathered a lot had no leftovers, and the ones who gathered a little had enough; everyone got what they needed, fr.
19Moses said, "Don’t leave any of it till morning, okay?"
20But they didn’t listen; some left it till morning, and it got all nasty with worms, and Moses was mad at them, savage.
21They scooped it up every morning, everyone got their munchies: but when the sun got lit, it melted away, no cap.
22On the sixth day, they gathered double the bread, two omers for each person: all the squad leaders came and told Moses, fr.
23Moses said, "Yo, the Lord said tomorrow is the chill day for the holy sabbath: bake what you gotta bake today, and cook what you gotta cook; save the leftovers for the morning."
24They saved it till morning like Moses said: it didn’t smell bad, and no worms were in it, periodt.
25Moses was like, "Eat that today; it’s a sabbath for the Lord: you won’t find it out in the fields today."
26You can gather it for six days; but on the seventh day, the sabbath, there won’t be any, bet.
27Some people went out on the seventh day to gather, but they found nothing, sus.
28The Lord asked Moses, "How long are you gonna ignore my commandments and laws?"
29Check it, the Lord gave you the sabbath, so on the sixth day, He hooked you up with two days' bread; everyone chill in your spot, don’t go out on the seventh day.
30So the crew rested on the seventh day, it was vibes.
31The fam of Israel called it Manna, and it was like coriander seeds, all white and sweet like honey wafers. No cap, that's tasty.
32Moses was like, "Yo, the Lord said to keep some of this for the future fam, so they can see the bread I hooked you up with in the desert when I bounced you from Egypt."
33Moses told Aaron, "Grab a pot, fill it with an omer of manna, and stash it before the Lord for the future generations."
34Aaron did just what Moses said, keeping it lit before the Testimony like the Lord commanded.
35The kids of Israel munched on manna for forty years until they hit up a chill land; they kept eating that manna until they hit the Canaan border.
36Just so you know, an omer is like a tenth of an ephah.
