MEDITATION
Exodus 16:32-36
32 Then Moses said, “This is the thing which the LORD has commanded: ‘Fill an omer with it, to be kept for your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”
33 And Moses said to Aaron, “Take a pot and put an omer of manna in it, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.”
34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
35 And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land; they ate manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan.
36 Now an omer is one-tenth of an ephah.

沉思
《出埃及记 16：32-36》
32 摩西说：“耶和华所吩咐的是这样：要将一满俄梅珥吗哪留到世世代物。”
33 摩西对亚伦说：“你拿一个罐子，盛一满俄梅珥吗哪，存在耶和华面前，要留到世世代代。”
34 耶和华怎么吩咐摩西，亚伦就怎么行，把吗哪放在法柜前存留。
35 以色列人吃吗哪共四十年，直到进了有人居住之地，就是迦南的境界。36 （俄梅珥乃伊法十分之一。）
