Exodus 16:19-34 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

19. Moses said to them, “Let no one leave of it until the morning.”

20. Notwithstanding they didn’t listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul; and Moses was angry with them.

21. They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.

22. On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one; and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.

23. He said to them, “This is that which the Lord has spoken, ‘Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord. Bake that which you want to bake, and boil that which you want to boil; and all that remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning.’”

24. They laid it up until the morning, as Moses asked, and it didn’t become foul, and there were no worms in it.

25. Moses said, “Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to the Lord. Today you shall not find it in the field.

26. Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none.”

27. On the seventh day, some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.

28. The Lord said to Moses, “How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?

29. Behold, because the Lord has given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days. Everyone stay in his place. Let no one go out of his place on the seventh day.”

30. So the people rested on the seventh day.

31. The house of Israel called its name “Manna”, and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey.

32. Moses said, “This is the thing which the Lord has commanded, ‘Let an omer-full of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”

33. Moses said to Aaron, “Take a pot, and put an omer-full of manna in it, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept throughout your generations.”

34. As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
