²³And he said to them: This is what the Lord hath spoken: To morrow is the rest of the sabbath sanctified to the Lord. Whatsoever work is to be done, do it; and the meats that are to be dressed, dress them; and whatsoever shall remain, lay it up until the morning.

²⁴And they did so as Moses had commanded, and it did not putrefy, neither was there worm found in it.

²⁵And Moses said: Eat it to day, because it is the sabbath of the Lord: to day it shall not be found in the field.

²⁶Gather it six days; but on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord, therefore it shall not be found.

²⁷And the seventh day came; and some of the people going forth to gather, found none.

²⁸And the Lord said to Moses: How long will you refuse to keep my commandments, and my law?

²⁹See that the Lord hath given you the sabbath, and for this reason on the sixth day he giveth you a double provision: let each man stay at home, and let none go forth out of his place the seventh day.

³⁰And the people kept the sabbath on the seventh day.
