25. “You may eat the food,” Moses said. “Today is the Sabbath in honour of the Lord, and there won't be any of this food on the ground today.
26. You will find it there for the first six days of the week, but not on the Sabbath.”
27. A few of the Israelites did go out to look for some, but there was none.
28. Then the Lord said, “Moses, how long will you people keep disobeying my laws and teachings?
29. Remember that I was the one who gave you the Sabbath. That's why on the sixth day I provide enough bread for two days. Everyone is to stay at home and rest on the Sabbath.”
30. And so they rested on the Sabbath.
31. The Israelites called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and delicious as wafers made with honey.
32. Moses told the people that the Lord had said, “Store up two litres of this manna, because I want future generations to see the food I gave you during the time you were in the desert after I rescued you from Egypt.”
33. Then Moses told Aaron, “Put some manna in a jar and store it in the place of worship for future generations to see.”
