Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.
Then the LORD said to Moses, 'Look, I will send bread down from heaven like rain for you. Each day the people should go out and collect just what they need for that day. This way I can test them to see if they will follow my instructions or not.'
God is promising to provide daily bread from heaven while using this provision as a test of whether the people will trust and obey His instructions.
