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 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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

There went out some of the people - This was an act of willful disobedience. It is remarkable, being the first violation of the express command, that it was not visited by a signal chastisement: the rest and peace of the “holy Sabbath” were not disturbed by a manifestation of wrath.
