Context of Exodus 16:34
32And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread that I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt. 33And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna in it, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations. As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept. 35And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they ate 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.

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
