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 they gathered twice as much bread, two 'omers per person; and all the community leaders came and reported to Moshe.

23 He told them, "This is what ADONAI has said: 'Tomorrow is a holy Shabbat for ADONAI. Bake what you want to bake; boil what you want to boil; and whatever is left over, set aside and keep for the morning.'"

24 They set it aside till morning, as Moshe had ordered; and it didn't rot or have worms.

25 Moshe said, "Today, eat that; because today is a Shabbat for ADONAI - today you won't find it in the field.

26 Gather it six days, but the seventh day is the Shabbat - on that day there won't be any."
