Context of Exodus 16:19
17So that is what the Israelites did. Some gathered more, some less. 18They measured it into two-quart containers. Those who had gathered more didn’t have too much. Those who had gathered less didn’t have too little. They gathered as much as they could eat. Then Moses said to them, “No one may keep any of it until morning.” 20But some of them didn’t listen to Moses. They kept part of it until morning, and it was full of worms and smelled bad. So Moses was angry with them. 21Each morning they gathered as much food as they could eat. When the sun was hot, it melted away.
