Esodo 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 ) .

Esodo 16:19 In-Context

17 I figliuoli d’Israele fecero così, e ne raccolsero gli uni più e gli altri meno.

18 Lo misurarono con l’omer, e chi ne aveva raccolto molto non n’ebbe di soverchio; e chi ne aveva raccolto poco non n’ebbe penuria. Ognuno ne raccolse quanto gliene abbisognava per il suo nutrimento.

19 E Mosè disse loro: "Nessuno ne serbi fino a domattina".

20 Ma alcuni non ubbidirono a Mosè, e ne serbarono fino all’indomani; e quello inverminì e mandò fetore; e Mosè s’adirò contro costoro.

21 Così lo raccoglievano tutte le mattine: ciascuno nella misura che bastava al suo nutrimento; e quando il sole si faceva caldo, quello si struggeva.
