Contextual Overview

²² On the sixth day the people gathered twice as much food—four quarts for every person. When all the leaders of the community came and told this to Moses, ²³ he said to them, "This is what the Lord commanded, because tomorrow is the Sabbath, the Lord 's holy day of rest. Bake what you want to bake, and boil what you want to boil today. Save the rest of the food until tomorrow morning." ²⁴ So the people saved it until the next morning, as Moses had commanded, and none of it began to stink or have worms in it. ²⁵ Moses told the people, "Eat the food you gathered yesterday. Today is a Sabbath, the Lord 's day of rest; you will not find any out in the field today. ²⁶ You should gather the food for six days, but the seventh day is a Sabbath day. On that day there will not be any food on the ground." ²⁷ On the seventh day some of the people went out to gather food, but they couldn't find any. ²⁸ Then the Lord said to Moses, "How long will you people refuse to obey my commands and teachings? ²⁹ Look, the Lord has made the Sabbath a day of rest for you. So on the sixth day he will give you enough food for two days, but on the seventh day each of you must stay where you are. Do not go anywhere." ³⁰ So the people rested on the seventh day. ³¹ The people of Israel called the food manna. It was like small white seeds and tasted like wafers made with honey.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Moses said, eat that today,.... That is, he said this on the seventh day in the morning, and bid them eat of it whether baked or seethed, or as it was, or just as they pleased; however, they had liberty to eat of it, and indeed they had no other, because none fell on this day:

for today is a sabbath unto the Lord; a time of rest from labour, and to be employed in the service of the Lord:

today ye shall not find it in the field: should they seek for it, which they had no occasion to do, since there was a sufficiency provided the day before; and this he said to prevent their going out to seek for it, which, if out of curiosity or for any other reason any of them should do, it would be in vain and fruitless.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Eat that today - The practical observance of the Sabbath was thus formally instituted before the giving of the law. The people were to abstain from the ordinary work of every day life: they were not to collect food, nor, as it would seem, even to prepare it as on other days.
