Shemot 16:15-17
Orthodox Jewish Bible
15 And when the Bnei Yisroel saw it, they said one to another, Mahn hu (What is it?) For they knew not mah hu (what [is] this). And Moshe said unto them, This is the lechem which Hashem hath given you to eat.
16 This is the thing which Hashem hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating [need], an omer per person, according to the number of your nefashot; take ye every man for them which are in his ohel.
17 And the Bnei Yisroel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.

Exodus 16:15-17
New International Version
15 When the Israelites saw it, they said to each other, “What is it?” For they did not know(A) what it was.
Moses said to them, “It is the bread(B) the Lord has given you to eat. 16 This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Everyone is to gather as much as they need. Take an omer[a](C) for each person you have in your tent.’”
17 The Israelites did as they were told; some gathered much, some little.
