So they gathered it morning by morning, each man according to his needs, and as the sun became hot it melted. On the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each individual. So all the leaders of the community came and informed Moses. But he said to them, “This is what ADONAI has said. Tomorrow is a Shabbat rest, a holy Shabbat to ADONAI. Bake whatever you would bake, and boil what you would boil. Store up for yourselves everything that remains, to be kept until the morning.” So they set it aside until the morning, just as Moses instructed, and it did not rot nor were there any worms. Then Moses said, “Eat that today, because today is a Shabbat to ADONAI. Today you will not find it in the field. You are to gather it for six days, but the seventh day is the Shabbat, and there will be none.” Yet on the seventh day, some of the people went out to gather and they found none. ADONAI said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep My mitzvot and My Torah? See, ADONAI has given you the Shabbat, so on the sixth day He gives you the bread of two days. Let every man stay in his place, and let no man go out on the seventh day.” So the people rested on the seventh day.
