Exodus
16:32 ¶ And Moses said, This is the
thing which the LORD commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your
generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have 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 omer full 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. 35 And the children of Israel did eat manna
forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until
they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan. 36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
This
passage gives the measurement omer a
definition as one tenth of an ephah.
Strong’s dictionary gave a measurement, if you convert it to U.S. gallons, of
between 5.5 and 11 gallons for an ephah.
That would make an omer a tenth of
that. A quantity of this Manna Moses kept for a testimony of this provision by
the Lord. Here it says that the children of Israel ate this Manna for the
entire forty years of their wilderness wanderings.
Joshua
5:10 ¶ And the children of Israel
encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at
even in the plains of Jericho. 11 And
they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover,
unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day. 12 And the manna ceased on the morrow after they
had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna
any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
