Exodus 16:24 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 16:24

And they laid it up until the morning, as Moses bade
What was left of two omers a man, what they had neither baked nor boiled:

and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein,
which was the case, when it was left or laid up on other days; and it showed that there was an interposition of divine Providence in the keeping of it to this day, and clearly confirmed it to be the will of God that this day should henceforward be to them the rest of the holy sabbath.

Exodus 16:24 In-Context

22 On the sixth day, the people gathered twice as much. It amounted to four quarts for each person. The leaders of the community came and reported that to Moses.

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."
