耶和華對摩西說：「你現在回到他們那裡，吩咐他們今天和明天要潔淨自己，洗淨衣服，

民眾因為困難而發怨言，傳到耶和華耳中。耶和華聽見後便向他們發怒，使火在他們中間燃燒，燒毀了營地的邊緣部分。

「可是我們的祖先不聽從他，甚至棄絕他，心裡對埃及戀戀不捨。

「我們還不如當初在埃及就死在耶和華手中。在那裡，我們至少可以圍在肉鍋旁吃個飽。現在，你把我們帶到曠野來，是要叫全體會眾餓死在這裡嗎？」耶和華對摩西說：「我要從天上降下食物給你們。百姓可以每天出去拾取他們當天所需的分量，這樣我就可以試驗他們是否遵行我的訓誨。到第六天，他們要比平時多拾取一倍，好夠兩天的分量。」摩西和亞倫對以色列百姓說：「今天晚上你們就知道把你們從埃及領出來的是耶和華。明天早上，你們會看見祂的榮耀，因為祂聽見了你們向祂所發的怨言。我們算什麼，你們何必埋怨我們？

又吩咐他們說：「到後天一切都要準備好，這期間你們不可親近女人。」

他們埋怨摩西和亞倫說：「我們還不如死在埃及或曠野！耶和華為什麼把我們領到這裡來，讓我們死於刀下？我們的妻兒必被擄去。我們還不如返回埃及。」

他們中間有一群烏合之眾貪戀從前的食物，以色列人也哭著說：「要是有肉吃多好啊！還記得在埃及的時候，我們不花錢就可以吃魚，還有黃瓜、西瓜、韭菜、蔥和蒜。我們現在毫無胃口，眼前除了嗎哪外，什麼都沒有。」

於是，雅各吩咐家人和所有的隨從：「你們要除掉你們當中的外族神像，沐浴更衣，潔淨自己。

起來吧！去吩咐民眾潔淨自己，讓他們為明天潔淨自己，因為以色列的上帝耶和華這樣說，『以色列啊！你們中間有本該毀滅的東西，你們不除掉這些東西就無法抵擋敵人。

他們來到伯特利，坐在上帝面前放聲痛哭，直到黃昏。
