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 collected twice as much food as usual, two omers per person. All the chiefs of the community came and told Moses.

23 He said to them, "This is what the LORD has said, ‘Tomorrow is a day of rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. Bake what you want to bake and boil what you want to boil. But you can set aside and keep all the leftovers until the next morning.'"

24 So they set the leftovers aside until morning, as Moses had commanded. They didn't stink or become infested with worms.

25 The next day Moses said, "Eat it today, because today is a Sabbath to the LORD. Today you won't find it out in the field.

26 Six days you will gather it. But on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will be nothing to gather."
