Shemot 16:27 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 16:27

And it came to pass
Perhaps the next seventh day following:

[that] there went out [some] of the people for to gather;
to gather manna, as on other days; which they did not through want of provision or a greedy appetite, for they had bread every day, and on that day to the full, but to gratify their curiosity, or to see whether the words of Moses stood, as Aben Ezra expresses it, that is, whether what he said was true, or came to pass, that there should be none, and they should not be able to find any on that day, and so it was:

and they found none;
no manna; in the places where they used to find it in plenty on other days.

Shemot 16:27 In-Context

25 And Moshe said, Eat that today; for today is a Shabbos unto Hashem; today ye shall not find it in the sadeh.

26 Sheshet yamim ye shall gather it; but on the yom hashevi’i, which is Shabbos, in it there shall be none.

27 And it came to pass, that there went out some from HaAm on the yom hashevi’i to gather, and they found none.

28 And Hashem said unto Moshe, How long refuse ye to be shomer over My mitzvot and My torot?

29 See, that Hashem hath given you the Shabbos, therefore He giveth you on yom hashishi lechem for two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out from his place on yom hashevi’i.
