Exodus 16:22–30

Yahweh Gives Bread for Two Days

^22aNow it happened that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one. Then all the ^bleaders of the congregation came and told Moses.

²³And he said to them, “This is what Yahweh has spoken: ^aTomorrow is a sabbath observance, a holy sabbath to Yahweh. Bake what you will bake and boil what you will boil, and ^ball that is in excess ¹put aside to be kept until morning.”

²⁴So they ¹put it aside until morning, as Moses had commanded, and ^ait did not become foul nor was there any worm in it.

²⁵And Moses said, “Eat it today, for today is a sabbath to Yahweh; today you will not find it in the field.

²⁶“^aSix days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, the sabbath, there will be ¹none.”

²⁷Now it happened on the seventh day, that some of the people went out to gather, but they found none.

²⁸Then Yahweh said to Moses, “^aHow long do you refuse to keep My commandments and My ¹laws?

²⁹“See, Yahweh has given you the sabbath; therefore He gives you bread for two days on the sixth day. Remain every man in his place; let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.”

³⁰So the people rested on the seventh day.
