Contextual Overview

22 However, on the sixth day of the week, everyone gathered enough to have four quarts, instead of two. When the leaders reported this to Moses, 23 he told them that the Lord had said, "Tomorrow is the Sabbath, a sacred day of rest in honor of me. So gather all you want to bake or boil, and make sure you save enough for tomorrow." 24 The people obeyed, and the next morning the food smelled fine and had no worms. 25 "You may eat the food," Moses said. "Today is the Sabbath in honor of the Lord , and there won't be any of this food on the ground today. 26 You will find it there for the first six days of the week, but not on the Sabbath." 27 A few of the Israelites did go out to look for some, but there was none. 28 Then the Lord said, "Moses, how long will you people keep disobeying my laws and teachings? 29 Remember that I was the one who gave you the Sabbath. That's why on the sixth day I provide enough bread for two days. Everyone is to stay home and rest on the Sabbath." 30 And so they rested on the Sabbath. 31 The Israelites called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and delicious as wafers made with honey.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

So the people rested on the seventh day. Did not attempt to go out of their tents in quest of manna, as on other days, and observed it as a day of rest from labour, and so they continued to do in successive generations.
