For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, This is the bread which the LORD has given you to eat. 16 This is the thing which the LORD has commanded: Gather of it every man according to his need, an omer for every person, according to the number of your people; each man take for those who are in his tent. 17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less. 18 And when they measured it by omers, he who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack; every man gathered according to his need. 19 And Moses said, Let no man leave any of it until the morning. 20 Nevertheless, they did not heed Moses; but some of them left part of it until the morning, and it bred worms and stank: and Moses was angry with them. 21 So they gathered it every morning, every man according to his need; and when the sun became hot, it melted. 22 And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each person; and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses. 23 And he said to them, This is what the LORD has said: Tomorrow is a Sabbath rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD; bake what you will bake today, and boil what you will boil, and lay up for yourselves all that remains, to be kept until the morning. 24 So they laid it up till the morning, as Moses commanded, and it did not stink, nor were there any worms in it. 25 And Moses said, Eat that today; for today is a Sabbath to the LORD: today you will not find it in the field. 26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will be none. 27 And it came to pass that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, but they found none. 28 And the LORD said to Moses, How long will you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws? 29 See, the LORD has given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day bread for two days. Let every man remain in his place; let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. 30 So the people rested on the seventh day. 31 And the house of Israel called its name Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers made with honey. 32 And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commands: Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt. 33 And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna in it, and place it before the LORD, to be kept for your generations. 34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron placed it before the Testimony, to be kept. 35 And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land; they ate manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan.
