Contextual Overview

²²And it comes to pass on the sixth day, they have gathered a second bread, two omers for one, and all the princes of the congregation come in, and declare [it] to Moses. ²³And he says to them, "It [is] that which YHWH has spoken: A rest—a holy Sabbath to YHWH—[is] tomorrow; that which you bake, bake; and that which you boil, boil; and all that is remaining, let [it] rest for yourselves for preservation until the morning." ²⁴And they let it rest until the morning, as Moses has commanded, and it has not stunk, and a worm has not been in it. ²⁵And Moses says, "Eat it today, for today [is] a Sabbath to YHWH; today you do not find it in the field:²⁶six days you gather it, and in the seventh day—the Sabbath—there is none in it." ²⁷And it comes to pass on the seventh day, some of the people have gone out to gather, and have not found. ²⁸And YHWH says to Moses, "How long have you refused to keep My commands and My laws? ²⁹See, because YHWH has given the Sabbath to you, therefore He is giving to you on the sixth day bread of two days; each abide [in] his place, no one goes out from his place on the seventh day." ³⁰And the people rest on the seventh day, ³¹and the house of Israel calls its name Manna, and it [is] as white coriander seed; and its taste [is] as a cake 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.
