New Living Translation
Exodus 16:16-21
16These are the Lord’s instructions: Each household should gather as much as it needs. Pick up two quarts for each person in your tent.”
17So the people of Israel did as they were told. Some gathered a lot, some only a little.
18But when they measured it out, everyone had just enough. Those who gathered a lot had nothing left over, and those who gathered only a little had enough. Each family had just what it needed.
19Then Moses told them, “Do not keep any of it until morning.”
20But some of them didn’t listen and kept some of it until morning. But by then it was full of maggots and had a terrible smell. Moses was very angry with them.
21After this the people gathered the food morning by morning, each family according to its need. And as the sun became hot, the flakes they had not picked up melted and disappeared.
