31 The people of Israel called the food manna. It was like a small white seed, and tasted like biscuits made with honey.
32 Moses said, “The Lord has commanded us to save some manna, to be kept for our descendants, so that they can see the food which he gave us to eat in the desert when he brought us out of Egypt.”
33 Moses said to Aaron, “Take a jar, put two litres of manna in it, and place it in the Lord's presence to be kept for our descendants.”
34 As the Lord had commanded Moses, Aaron put it in front of the Covenant Box, so that it could be kept.
35 The Israelites ate manna for the next forty years, until they reached the land of Canaan, where they settled.
36 (The standard dry measure then in use equalled twenty litres.)
