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 And it came to pass that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one; and all the princes of the congregation came and told Moses.

23 And he said unto them, This is what the LORD has said, Tomorrow is the holy sabbath of rest unto the LORD; bake that which ye will bake today and cook what ye will cook; and that which remains over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

24 And they laid it up until the morning as Moses bade; and it did not stink, neither was there any worm in it.

25 And Moses said, Eat that today; for today is a sabbath unto the LORD; today ye shall not find it in the field.

26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
