Exodus 16:21-30

Morning after morning they gathered it, as much as each needed to eat; but when the sun grew hot, it melted away. On the sixth day they gathered twice as much food, two omers for each person. When all the leaders of the community came and reported this to Moses, he told them, “That is what the LORD has prescribed. Tomorrow is a day of rest, a holy sabbath of the LORD. Whatever you want to bake, bake; whatever you want to boil, boil; but whatever is left put away and keep until the morning.” When they put it away until the morning, as Moses commanded, it did not stink nor were there worms in it. Moses then said, “Eat it today, for today is the sabbath of the LORD. Today you will not find any in the field. Six days you will gather it, but on the seventh day, the sabbath, it will not be there.” Still, on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather it, but they did not find any. Then the LORD said to Moses: How long will you refuse to keep my commandments and my instructions? Take note! The LORD has given you the sabbath. That is why on the sixth day he gives you food for two days. Each of you stay where you are and let no one go out on the seventh day. After that the people rested on the seventh day.
