New Testament

Exodus 16:23-27 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

23. He said to them, "Here is what the Lord commanded. He said, 'Tomorrow will be a day of rest. It will be a holy Sabbath day. It will be set apart for the Lord. So bake what you want to bake. Boil what you want to boil. Save what is left. Keep it until morning.' "

24. So they saved it until morning, just as Moses commanded. It didn't stink or get maggots in it.

25. "Eat it today," Moses said. "Today is a Sabbath day in the Lord's honor. You won't find any flakes on the ground today.

26. Gather them for six days. But on the seventh day there won't be any. It's the Sabbath."

27. In spite of what Moses said, some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather the flakes. But they didn't find any.
