26 Gather them for six days. But on the seventh day there won't be any. It's the Sabbath."

Exodus 16:26 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 16:26

Six days ye shall gather it
Day after day, every morning, as they had done the six days past, so they should during their stay in the wilderness:

but on the seventh day, [which] is the sabbath;
which is repeated, being a new thing, to impress it on their minds: in it there shall be none: no manna; none shall fall, and so none can be gathered, and therefore it would be to no purpose to go out and seek for it; as also there would be no need of it, since they would always have a double portion on the sixth day.

Exodus 16:26 In-Context

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."

27 In spite of what Moses said, some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather the flakes. But they didn't find any.

28 Then the LORD spoke to Moses. He said, "How long will all of you refuse to obey my commands and my teachings?
