Exodus 16:21-33 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

21. And they gathered it every morning, each one according to his need. And when the sun became hot, it melted.

22. And it came to be, on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one. And all the rulers of the congregation came and told Mosheh.

23. And he said to them, “This is what יהוה has said, ‘Tomorrow is a rest, a Sabbath set-apart to יהוה. That which you bake, bake; and that which you cook, cook. And lay up for yourselves all that is left over, to keep it until morning.’ ”

24. And they laid it up till morning, as Mosheh commanded. And it did not stink, and no worm was in it.

25. And Mosheh said, “Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to יהוה, today you do not find it in the field.

26. “Gather it six days, but on the seventh day, which is the Sabbath, there is none.”

27. And it came to be that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, but they found none.

28. And יהוה said to Mosheh, “How long shall you refuse to guard My commands and My Torot?

29. “See, because יהוה has given you the Sabbath, therefore He is giving you bread for two days on the sixth day. Let each one stay in his place, do not let anyone go out of his place on the seventh day.”

30. So the people rested on the seventh day.

31. And the house of Yisra’ĕl called its name Manna. And it was like white coriander seed, and the taste of it was like thin cakes made with honey.

32. And Mosheh said, “This is the word which יהוה has commanded: ‘Fill an omer with it, to keep for your generations, so that they see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim.’ ”

33. And Mosheh said to Aharon, “Take a pot and put an omer of manna in it, and set it down before יהוה, to keep for your generations.”
