"I have heard the complaints of the Israelites. Tell them: At twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will eat bread until you are full. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God."

So at evening quail came and covered the camp. In the morning there was a layer of dew all around the camp.

"Tell the people: Purify yourselves [in readiness] for tomorrow, and you will eat meat because you cried before the LORD: 'Who will feed us meat? We really had it good in Egypt.' The LORD will give you meat and you will eat.

You will eat, not for one day, or two days, or five days, or 10 days, or 20 days,

The people were up all that day and night and all the next day gathering the quail-- the one who took the least gathered 33 bushels-- and they spread them out all around the camp.
