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.
32. Moses said, “This is what the Lord has commanded. Keep a full omer of it for your future generations, so that they may see the food I gave you to eat in the wilderness when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.”
33. Moses then told Aaron, “Take a jar and put a full omer of manna in it. Then place it before the Lord to keep it for your future generations.”
34. As the Lord had commanded Moses, Aaron placed it in front of the covenant to keep it.
35. The Israelites ate the manna for forty years, until they came to settled land; they ate the manna until they came to the borders of Canaan.
