Êxodo 16:17 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 16:17

And the children of Israel did so
They went out of the camp in the morning when it was fallen, and gathered it; which is expressive of believers going out of the camp, leaving the world, and all behind them for Christ; and of their going out of themselves to him, and of their going in and out, and finding pasture and food for their souls in him to live upon: and gathered some more, some less; some that were more robust and strong, that were more active and diligent, gathered in more than others; which may denote the different degree and exercise of faith in God's people; some are strong in it, and others weak; some attain to a greater degree of knowledge of Christ, and receive more grace from him, and have more spiritual peace, joy, and comfort in believing, and others less; see ( Romans 15:1 Romans 15:13 ) .

Êxodo 16:17 In-Context

15 Quando os israelitas viram aquilo, começaram a perguntar uns aos outros: “Que é isso?”, pois não sabiam do que se tratava.Disse-lhes Moisés: “Este é o pão que o SENHOR deu a vocês para comer.
16 Assim ordenou o SENHOR: ‘Cada chefe de família recolha quanto precisar: um jarro para cada pessoa da sua tenda’.”
17 Os israelitas fizeram como lhes fora dito; alguns recolheram mais, outros menos.
18 Quando mediram com o jarro, quem tinha recolhido muito não teve demais, e não faltou a quem tinha recolhido pouco. Cada um recolheu quanto precisava.
19 “Ninguém deve guardar nada para a manhã seguinte”, ordenou-lhes Moisés.
