Exodus 16:15-22
16:15 When
the Israelites saw it, they said to one another,
“What is it?” because they did not know what it was.
Moses said to them, “It is the bread
that the
Lord has given you for food.
16:16 “This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Each person is to gather from it what he can eat, an omer per person according to the number of your people; each one will pick it up for whoever lives in his tent.’”
16:17 The Israelites did so, and they gathered – some more, some less.
16:18 When they measured with an omer, the one who gathered much had nothing left over, and the one who gathered little lacked nothing; each one had gathered what he could eat.
16:19 Moses said to them, “No one is to keep any of it until morning.”
16:20 But they did not listen to Moses; some kept part of it until morning, and it was full of worms and began to stink, and Moses was angry with them.
16:21 So they gathered it each morning, each person according to what he could eat, and when the sun got hot, it would melt.
16:22 And on the sixth day they gathered twice as much food, two omers per person; and all the leaders of the community came and told Moses.
Proverbs 30:8
30:8 Remove falsehood and lies far from me;
do not give me poverty or riches,
feed me with my allotted portion of bread,
Isaiah 33:16
33:16 This is the person who will live in a secure place;
he will find safety in the rocky, mountain strongholds;
he will have food
and a constant supply of water.
Matthew 6:11
6:11 Give us today our daily bread,
Matthew 6:34
6:34 So then, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
John 6:27-33
6:27 Do not work for the food that disappears,
but for the food that remains to eternal life – the food
which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has put his seal of approval on him.”
6:28 So then they said to him, “What must we do to accomplish the deeds God requires?”
6:29 Jesus replied, “This is the deed God requires – to believe in the one whom he sent.”
6:30 So they said to him, “Then what miraculous sign will you perform, so that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?
6:31 Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”
6:32 Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the solemn truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven.
6:33 For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
