Exodus 16:16-25

16ThisH2088H1697 is whatH834 the LORDH3068 has commandedH6680: ‘Each oneH376 is to gatherH3950 as muchH4480 asH6310 he needsH400. You may takeH3947 an omerH60161 for eachH1538H4557 personH5315H376 in your tentH168.’”

17So the IsraelitesH1121H3478 didH6213 thisH3651. Some gatheredH3950 moreH7235, and some lessH4591. 18When they measured itH4058 by the omerH6016, he who gathered muchH7235 had noH3808 excessH5736, and he who gathered littleH4591 had noH3808 shortfallH2637.2 Each oneH376 gatheredH3950 asH6310 much as he needed to eatH400.

19Then MosesH4872 saidH559 to themH413, “NoH408 oneH376 may keepH3498 any of itH4480 untilH5704 morningH1242.” 20But they did notH3808 listenH8085 toH413 MosesH4872; some peopleH582 leftH3498 part ofH4480 it untilH5704 morningH1242, and it became infestedH7311 with maggotsH8438 and began to smellH887. So MosesH4872 was angryH7107 with themH5921.

21Every morningH1242 each oneH376 gatheredH3950 as muchH6310 as was neededH400, and when the sunH8121 grew hotH2552, it melted awayH4549.

On the sixthH8345 dayH3117, they gatheredH3950 twiceH4932 as much foodH3899—twoH8147 omersH6016 per personH2593—and allH3605 the leadersH5387 of the congregationH5712 cameH935 and reportedH5046 this to MosesH4872. 23He told themH559H413, “ThisH1931 is whatH834 the LORDH3068 has saidH1696: ‘TomorrowH4279 is to be a day of complete restH7677, a holyH6944 SabbathH7676 to the LORDH3068. SoH853 bakeH644 whatH834 you want to bakeH644, andH853 boilH1310 whatH834 you want to boilH1310. Then set asideH5117 whateverH3605 remainsH5736 and keep itH4931 untilH5704 morningH1242.’”

24So they set it asideH5117 untilH5704 morningH1242 asH834 MosesH4872 had commandedH6680, and it did notH3808 smellH887 or containH1961 any maggotsH7415. 25“Eat it todayH398H3117,” MosesH4872 saidH559, “becauseH3588 todayH3117 is a SabbathH7676 to the LORDH3068. TodayH3117 you will notH3808 find anythingH4672 in the fieldH7704.
