    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.

    13 That evening, quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning, there was a layer of dew around the camp.

    14 When the dew evaporated, there was a fine, flaky substance on the surface of the wilderness, as fine as frost on the ground.

    15 When the Israelites saw it, they said to one another, "What is it?" because they did not know what it was. 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.
