New Testament

Exodus 16:23-30 Modern English Version (MEV)

23. He said to them, “This is what the Lord has said, ‘Tomorrow is the Sabbath, a holy Sabbath to the Lord. Bake that which you will bake today, and boil that you will boil, and all that which remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning.’ ”

24. So they laid it up until the morning, just as Moses commanded, and it did not stink, nor was there any worm in it.

25. Moses said, “Eat it 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. It happened that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, but they found nothing.

28. Then the Lord said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep My commandments and My instructions?

29. See, the Lord has given you the Sabbath; therefore He gives you bread for two days on the sixth day. 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.
