Context of Exodus 16:34
32And Moses said, This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded: Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread that I gave you to eat in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt. 33And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot, and put in it an omer full of manna, and deposit it before Jehovah, to be kept for your generations. As Jehovah had commanded Moses, so Aaron deposited it before the Testimony, to be kept. 35And the children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came into an inhabited land: they ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan. 36Now an omer is the tenth [part] of an ephah.

Commentaries on Exodus 16:34
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 34Laid it up before the testimony - The עדות eduth or testimony belonged properly to the tabernacle, but that was not yet built.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 32-36Verses 32-36 God having provided manna to be his people's food in the wilderness, the remembrance of it was to be preserved. Eaten bread must not be forgotten. God's miracles and mercies are to be had in remembrance. The word of God is the manna by which our souls are nourished, Mt 4:4. The comforts of the Spirit are hidden manna, Re 2:17. These come from heaven, as the manna did, and are the support and comfort of the Divine life in the soul, while we…Read the comment

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 32-3632-36. Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations--The mere fact of such a multitude being fed for forty years in the wilderness, where no food of any kind is to be obtained, will show the utter impossibility of their subsisting on a natural production of the kind and quantity as this tarfa-gum [see on Ex 16:13]; and, as if for the purpose of removing all such groundless speculations, Aaron was commanded to put a sample of it in a pot--a golden…Read the comment
