¹³ And at euen the quailes came vp and couered the tentes, and in the mornyng the deawe lay rounde about them. ¹⁴ And when the deawe was gone, beholde, vpon the grounde in the wyldernesse there lay a small rounde thyng, as small as the hoare frost on the ground. ¹⁵ And when the children of Israel saw it, they said euery one to his neighbour, it is Manna: for they wist not what it was.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the children of Israel did so,.... They went out of the camp in the morning when it was fallen, and gathered it; which is expressive of believers going out of the camp, leaving the world, and all behind them for Christ; and of their going out of themselves to him, and of their going in and out, and finding pasture and food for their souls in him to live upon: and gathered some more, some less; some that were more robust and strong, that were more active and diligent, gathered in more than others; which may denote the different degree and exercise of faith in God's people; some are strong in it, and others weak; some attain to a greater degree of knowledge of Christ, and receive more grace from him, and have more spiritual peace, joy, and comfort in believing, and others less; see Romans 15:1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Some more, some less - It is evidently implied that the people were in part at least disobedient and failed in this first trial.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Exodus 16:17. Some more, some less. — According to their respective families, an omer for a man; and according to the number of infirm persons whose wants they undertook to supply.
