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.
