up out of Egypt?"'" (NKJV)

near the camp, about a day's journey on this side and about a day's journey on the other side, all around the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of

the ground. And the people stayed up all that day, all night,

and all the next day, and gathered the quail (he who gathered least gathered ten homers); and they spread them out for themselves

all around the camp. (NKJV)
