The LORD says that each household should gather as much as it needs. Pick up two quarts for each person."

Now the LORD sent a wind that brought quail from the sea and let them fall into the camp and all around it! For many miles in every direction from the camp there were quail flying about three feet above the ground.
So the people went out and caught quail all that day and throughout the night and all the next day, too. No one gathered less than fifty bushels! They spread the quail out all over the camp.
But while they were still eating the meat, the anger of the LORD blazed against the people, and he caused a severe plague to break out among them.

Yes, I am the bread of life!
Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died.
However, the bread from heaven gives eternal life to everyone who eats it.
I am the living bread that came down out of heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; this bread is my flesh, offered so the world may live."
