Exodus 16:16–30

¹⁶This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded: Gather of it every man according to what he can eat, an omer a poll, according to the number of your persons: ye shall take every man for those that are in his tent. ¹⁷And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some much, some little. ¹⁸And they measured with the omer: then he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little wanted nothing: they had gathered every man according to the measure of his eating. ¹⁹And Moses said to them, Let no man leave any of it until the morning. ²⁰But they did not hearken to Moses; and some men left of it until the morning; then worms bred in it and it stank. And Moses was wroth with them. ²¹And they gathered it every morning, every man as much as he could eat; and when the sun became hot, it melted.

²²And it came to pass on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one; and all the princes of the assembly came and told Moses. ²³And he said to them, This is what Jehovah has said: To-morrow is the rest, the holy sabbath, of Jehovah: bake what ye will bake, and cook what ye will cook; and lay up for yourselves all that remains over, to be kept for the morning. ²⁴And they laid it up for the morning, as Moses had commanded; and it did not stink, neither was there any worm in it. ²⁵And Moses said, Eat it to-day; for to-day is sabbath to Jehovah: to-day ye shall not find it in the field. ²⁶Six days shall ye gather it; but on the seventh day is sabbath: on it there shall be none. ²⁷And it came to pass on the seventh day that there went out some from the people to gather it, and they found none. ²⁸And Jehovah said to Moses, How long do ye refuse to keep my commandments and my laws? ²⁹See, for Jehovah hath given you the sabbath; therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread for two days. Abide every man in his place: let no man go from his place on the seventh day. ³⁰And the people rested on the seventh day.
