Exodus 16

The Readings · Oct 23, 2026 · 5m

Exodus 16 read aloud, in a fresh direct translation from the Hebrew — plain modern English, nothing added.

Translator's notes:

• Exodus 16:15 — מָן הוּא (man hu): chose "What is it?". Alternatives: It is manna. Why: the people's question is what the name manna is then explained from.

• Exodus 16:31 — מָן (man): chose "manna". Alternatives: man. Why: the familiar English name for the food is kept after its naming verse.
