Exodus 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.

Exodus 16:27 In-Context

25 dixitque Moses comedite illud hodie quia sabbatum est Domino non invenietur hodie in agro

26 sex diebus colligite in die autem septimo sabbatum est Domino idcirco non invenietur

27 venit septima dies et egressi de populo ut colligerent non invenerunt

28 dixit autem Dominus ad Mosen usquequo non vultis custodire mandata mea et legem meam

29 videte quod Dominus dederit vobis sabbatum et propter hoc tribuerit vobis die sexto cibos duplices maneat unusquisque apud semet ipsum nullus egrediatur de loco suo die septimo
