16. This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating: an omer for every man according to the number of your persons, take ye every man for them who are in his tents.
17. And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
18. And when they measured it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack: they gathered every man according to his eating.
19. And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
20. Notwithstanding, they hearkened not to Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became offensive; and Moses was wroth with them.
21. And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun became hot, it melted.
22. And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
23. And he said to them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To-morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath to the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to-day, and boil that ye will boil; and that which remaineth over, lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
24. And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses ordered: and it did not putrefy, neither was there any worm therein.
25. And Moses said, Eat that to-day; for to-day is a sabbath to the LORD; to-day ye will not find it in the field.
26. Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there will be none.
27. And it came to pass, that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, and they found none.
28. And the LORD said to Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
29. See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days: abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
30. So the people rested on the seventh day.
