Éxodo 16:20 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 16:20

Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses
That is, not all of them, some of them did, and perhaps the far greater part of them:

but some of them left it until the morning;
out of distrust, for fear they should have none the next day; being men of little faith, that could not trust God for a supply for the morrow; the Targum of Jonathan says, these were Dathan and Abiram; and so Jarchi:

and it bred worms, and stank;
or by an "hysteron proteron", and transposition of the words, the sense may be, that it stank, corrupted, and putrefied, and so produced worms, in which order the words lie, ( Exodus 16:24 ) , and this was not from the nature of the manna to breed worms so soon, but God so ordering and disposing it, that it should do so; for otherwise it would keep to another day, as what was gathered on the sixth day kept to the seventh, and there was a part of it kept for many ages, see ( Exodus 16:24-33 ) , and since the manna was of the meal kind, perhaps those worms it bred might be of the weevil sort, as Scheuchzer conjectures F19:

and Moses was wroth with them;
for breaking the commandment of God.

19 Y Moisés les dijo: Que nadie deje nada para la mañana siguiente.
20 Mas no obedecieron a Moisés, y algunos dejaron parte del maná para la mañana siguiente, pero crió gusanos y se pudrió; y Moisés se enojó con ellos.
21 Lo recogían cada mañana, cada uno lo que iba a comer; pero cuando el sol calentaba, se derretía.
22 Y sucedió que en el sexto día recogieron doble porción de alimento, dos gomeres para cada uno. Y cuando todos los jefes de la congregación vinieron y se lo hicieron saber a Moisés,
