Exodus 16:15-22

¹⁵When the Israelites saw it, they asked one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. So Moses told them, “It is the bread that the LORD has given you to eat.

¹⁶This is what the LORD has commanded: ‘Each one is to gather as much as he needs. You may take an omer for each person in your tent.’”

¹⁷So the Israelites did this. Some gathered more, and some less.

¹⁸When they measured it by the omer, he who gathered much had no excess, and he who gathered little had no shortfall. Each one gathered as much as he needed to eat.

¹⁹Then Moses said to them, “No one may keep any of it until morning.”

²⁰But they did not listen to Moses; some people left part of it until morning, and it became infested with maggots and began to smell. So Moses was angry with them.

²¹Every morning each one gathered as much as was needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away.

²²On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much food — two omers per person — and all the leaders of the congregation came and reported this to Moses.
