17. And the Israelites did so, and they gathered, some more and some less.
18. And when they measured with the omer, the one gathering more had no surplus, and the one gathering less had no lack; they gathered each according to what he could eat.
19. And Moses said to them, “Let no one leave any of it until morning.”
20. But they did not listen to Moses. Some people left some of it until morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Moses was angry with them.
21. And they gathered it morning by morning, each according to what he could eat, and it melted when the sun was hot.
22. And when it was the sixth day, they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one person, and all the leaders of the community came and told Moses.
23. And he said to them, “This is what Yahweh has said. Tomorrow is a rest period, a holy Sabbath for Yahweh. Bake what you want to bake, and boil what you want to boil. Put aside all the surplus for yourselves for safekeeping until the morning.”
24. And they put it aside until the morning, as Moses had commanded, and it did not make a stench, and not a maggot was in it.
25. And Moses said, “Eat it today, because today is a Sabbath for Yahweh. Today you will not find it in the field.
26. Six days you will gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, it will not be present on it.”
27. And on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, and they did not find any.
28. And Yahweh said to Moses, “How long do you refuse to keep my commands and my laws?
29. See, because Yahweh has given to you the Sabbath, therefore he is giving to you on the sixth day bread for two days. Stay, each in his location; let no one go from his place on the seventh day.”
