Éxodo 16:32

32 Y dijo Moisés: Esto es lo que el SEÑOR ha mandado: Llenarás un gomer de él para que se guarde para vuestros descendientes, a fin de que vean el pan que yo os di a comer en el desierto, cuando yo os saqué de la tierra de Egipto

Éxodo 16:32 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 16:32

And Moses said
At another time, though it is here inserted to give the account of the mamma all together:

this is the thing which the Lord commandeth;
namely, what follows:

fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations;
which was the quantity allowed a man every day; this measure was to be laid up, and reserved for posterity in future generations, not to eat, nor so much as taste of, for then it would soon have been gone, but to look at, as follows:

that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness,
when I brought you out of the land of Egypt;
that they might see what sort of food was provided for them, and what quantity each man had of it every day; and so have an ocular proof of the wisdom, power, and goodness of God, in providing for their support in a wilderness, where no supplies were to be had; and when they were just come out of an enemy's country: thus Christ is the food of his people, while they are in the wilderness of this world; and is never so until they are brought out of the state of nature's darkness and bondage, like that of the Egyptians; and who, being the food of the saints in ages past, is presented to the eye of faith, for its encouragement to look to him and believe in him, receive, embrace, and feed upon him.

Éxodo 16:32 In-Context

30 Así el pueblo reposó el séptimo día

31 Y la Casa de Israel lo llamó Maná; y era como simiente de culantro, blanco, y su sabor como de hojuelas con miel

32 Y dijo Moisés: Esto es lo que el SEÑOR ha mandado: Llenarás un gomer de él para que se guarde para vuestros descendientes, a fin de que vean el pan que yo os di a comer en el desierto, cuando yo os saqué de la tierra de Egipto

33 Y dijo Moisés a Aarón: Toma un vaso y pon en él un gomer lleno de maná, y ponlo delante del SEÑOR, para que sea guardado para vuestros descendientes

34 Y Aarón lo puso delante del Testimonio para guardarlo, como el SEÑOR lo mandó a Moisés
