Moses said to them, "It is the bread that the LORD has given you to eat. 16 This is what the LORD has commanded: 'Each person is to gather as much as they need to eat. Take an omer for each person according to the number of people in your tent.' 17 The Israelites did as they were told. Some gathered much, and some gathered little. 18 When they measured it with an omer, those who gathered much did not have too much, and those who gathered little did not have too little. Each person gathered just as much as they needed to eat. 19 Then Moses said to them, "No one is to keep any of it until morning." 20 But some of them did not listen to Moses and kept part of it until morning. It bred worms and began to stink, and Moses was angry with them. 21 Each morning, everyone gathered as much as they needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away. 22 On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much bread—two omers for each person—and all the leaders of the community came and reported this to Moses. 23 He said to them, "This is what the LORD has said: 'Tomorrow is to be a day of complete rest, a holy sabbath to the LORD. Bake what you want to bake and boil what you want to boil today, and save whatever is left over to keep until morning.'" 24 So they saved it until morning as Moses commanded, and it did not stink or have maggots in it. 25 Moses said, "Eat it today, because today is a sabbath to the LORD. You will not find any of it in the field today. 26 For six days you are to gather it, but on the seventh day, the sabbath, there will not be any." 27 However, some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, but they found nothing. 28 Then the LORD said to Moses, "How long will you refuse to keep my commands and instructions? 29 Understand that the LORD has given you the sabbath; that is why on the sixth day He gives you bread for two days. Everyone is to stay where they are; no one is to go out on the seventh day." 30 So the people rested on the seventh day. 31 The house of Israel named it manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey. 32 Moses said, "This is what the LORD has commanded: 'Let an omer of it be kept for future generations so that they can see the bread I gave you to eat in the wilderness when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.'" 33 Moses then said to Aaron, "Take a jar and put an omer of manna in it. Place it before the LORD to be preserved for future generations." 34 As the LORD commanded Moses, Aaron placed it before the Testimony to be preserved. 35 The Israelites ate manna for forty years, until they came to a land that was settled; they ate manna until they reached the border of Canaan.
