Context of Exodus 16:26

24So they kept some food until the morning, as Moses had said. This time, the food did not have a bad smell and there were no worms in it. 25Moses said, ‘Eat the food today, because this day is a Sabbath day, to worship the Lord. You will not find any food on the ground today. On six days of each week, you must pick food up from the ground. But on the seventh day of the week, there will not be any food on the ground. That is because the seventh day is the Sabbath day of rest.’ 27But on the seventh day, some of the people went out to pick up food. But they did not find any. 28Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘The people continue to refuse to obey my commands. They refuse to do what I tell them!
