Exodus 16:25-31 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

25. Moses then said, “Eat it today, for today is the sabbath of the Lord. Today you will not find any in the field.

26. Six days you will gather it, but on the seventh day, the sabbath, it will not be there.”

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

28. Then the Lord said to Moses: How long will you refuse to keep my commandments and my instructions?

29. Take note! The Lord has given you the sabbath. That is why on the sixth day he gives you food for two days. Each of you stay where you are and let no one go out on the seventh day.

30. After that the people rested on the seventh day.

31. The house of Israel named this food manna. It was like coriander seed, white, and it tasted like wafers made with honey.
