Exode 16:19 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 16:19

And Moses said unto them
At the same time he gave the direction to them about gathering it, and measuring out to every man an omer:

let no man leave of it until the morning;
not that every man was bound to eat up the quantity distributed to him; he might give what he could not eat to those that could eat more, if there were any such; or he might give it to his cattle, or cast it away, but he was not to reserve it until the next day for his use; which was to teach him that God would bestow this benefit and blessing on him daily, and he might expect it, whose mercies are new every morning; and to instruct him to live every day upon the providence of God for his daily food; as indeed every man ought to do so, let his circumstances be ever so affluent; and, in a more spiritual and evangelic sense, it teaches believers to live continually every day by faith on Christ, and to say day by day, Lord, evermore give us this bread, ( John 6:34 ) .

Exode 16:19 In-Context

17 Les Israélites firent ainsi; et ils en ramassèrent les uns plus, les autres moins.

18 On mesurait ensuite avec l'omer; celui qui avait ramassé plus n'avait rien de trop, et celui qui avait ramassé moins n'en manquait pas. Chacun ramassait ce qu'il fallait pour sa nourriture.

19 Moïse leur dit: Que personne n'en laisse jusqu'au matin.

20 Ils n'écoutèrent pas Moïse, et il y eut des gens qui en laissèrent jusqu'au matin; mais il s'y mit des vers, et cela devint infect. Moïse fut irrité contre ces gens.

21 Tous les matins, chacun ramassait ce qu'il fallait pour sa nourriture; et quand venait la chaleur du soleil, cela fondait.
