Exodus 16:16-25

16This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Let every man gather as much of it as he needs. Take an omer for each person, according to the number of people each of you has in his tent.’ ”

17The Israelites did so, and some gathered much [of it] and some [only a] little.

18When they measured it with an omer, he who had gathered a large amount had no excess, and he who had gathered little had no lack; every man gathered according to his need (family size).

19Moses said, “Let none of it be left [overnight] until [the next] morning.”

20But they did not listen to Moses, and some left a supply of it until morning, and it bred worms and became foul and rotten; and Moses was angry with them.

21So they gathered it every morning, each as much as he needed, because when the sun was hot it melted.

22Now on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each person; and all the leaders of the congregation came and told Moses.

23He said to them, “This is what the Lord has said: ‘Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord’; bake and boil what you will bake and boil [today], and all that remains left over put aside for yourselves to keep until morning.”

24They put it aside until morning, as Moses told them, and it did not become foul nor was it wormy.

25Then Moses said, “Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to the Lord; today you will not find it in the field.
