    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.
