Exodus 16 — Context

16

“This is what the LORD has commanded:‘Each person is to gather from it what he can eat, an omer per person according to the number of your people; each one will pick it up for whoever lives in his tent.’”

17

The Israelites did so, and they gathered– some more, some less.

18

When they measured with an omer, the one who gathered much had nothing left over, and the one who gathered little lacked nothing; each one had gathered what he could eat.

19

Moses said to them,“No one is to keep any of it until morning.”

20

But they did not listen to Moses; some kept part of it until morning, and it was full of worms and began to stink, and Moses was angry with them.

21

So they gathered it each morning, each person according to what he could eat, and when the sun got hot, it would melt.

22

And on the sixth day they gathered twice as much food, two omers per person; and all the leaders of the community came and told Moses.
