Exodus 16:23-29 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

23. He told them, “This is what the Lord has said: ‘Tomorrow is a day of complete rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord. Bake what you want to bake, and boil what you want to boil, and set aside everything left over to be kept until morning.’ ”

24. So they set it aside until morning as Moses commanded, and it didn’t smell or have any maggots in it.

25. “Eat it today,” Moses said, “because today is a Sabbath to the Lord. Today you won’t find any in the field.

26. For six days you may gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will be none.”

27. Yet on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they did not find any.

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; therefore on the sixth day He will give you two days’ worth of bread. Each of you stay where you are; no one is to leave his place on the seventh day.”
