Contextual Overview

22 On Friday the people gathered twice as much food—two baskets for every person. So all the leaders of the people came and told this to Moses. 23 Moses told them, "This is what the Lord said would happen. It happened because tomorrow is the Sabbath, the special day of rest to honor the Lord . You can cook all the food you need to cook for today, but save the rest of this food for tomorrow morning." 24 So the people saved the rest of the food for the next day, as Moses had commanded, and none of the food spoiled or had worms in it. 25 On Saturday, Moses told the people, "Today is the Sabbath, the special day of rest to honor the Lord . So none of you should be out in the fields. Eat the food you gathered yesterday. 26 You should gather the food for six days. But the seventh day of the week is a day of rest—so there will not be any of the special food on the ground." 27 On Saturday, some of the people went out to gather some of the food, but they could not 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 Friday he will give you enough food for two days. Then, on the Sabbath, each of you should sit down and relax. Stay where you are." 30 So the people rested on the Sabbath. 31 The people called the special food "manna." It was like small white coriander seeds and tasted like thin cakes made with honey.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they laid it up until the morning, as Moses bade,.... What was left of two omers a man, what they had neither baked nor boiled:

and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein, which was the case, when it was left or laid up on other days; and it showed that there was an interposition of divine Providence in the keeping of it to this day, and clearly confirmed it to be the will of God that this day should henceforward be to them the rest of the holy sabbath.
