Context of Exodus 16:24
22But on the sixth day they gathered twice as much food, four quarts per person. All the leaders of the community came to Moses and told him about it. 23He said to them, “This is what the Lord said: Tomorrow is a day of rest—a holy day dedicated to the Lord. Bake what you want to bake, and boil what you want to boil. Save all that’s left over, and keep it until tomorrow morning.” So they saved it until the next morning as Moses had commanded, but it didn’t smell or have worms in it. 25“Eat it today,” Moses said, “because today is a day of rest—a holy day dedicated to the Lord. You won’t find anything on the ground today. 26You can gather food on six days, but on the seventh day, the day of rest, you won’t find any.”
