(ver. 15.

LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my command ments and my laws? 29 See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. 30 So the people rested on the seventh day. 31 And the house of Israel called the name thereof 1Manna: Num. 11. and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey. 32 And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Let an omerful of it be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt. 33 And Moses said unto Aaron, *Take a pot, and put an omerful of manna therein, 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. 6, 25, 35 And the children of Israel "did eat the manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat the manna, "until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan. 36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.

II And it came to pass, when Moses held up his Cp. hand, that Israel prevailed and 1 Tim. 2. 8. when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. 12 But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. 13 And Joshua 5 discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. 14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: that I will d Num. 24. utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. 15 And Moses built an altar, and 3.7 called the name of it Jehovahnissi: 16 and he said, The LORD hath sworn: the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
