The Sabbath

22 (A)Now on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, [a]two omers for each one. When all the (B)leaders of the congregation came and told Moses, 23 then he said to them, “This is what the Lord [b]meant: (C)Tomorrow is a Sabbath observance, a holy Sabbath to the Lord. Bake what you will bake and boil what you will boil, and (D)all that is left over [c]put aside to be kept until morning.” 24 So they put it aside until morning, as Moses had ordered, and (E)it did not stink nor was there a maggot in it. 25 Then Moses said, “Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to the Lord; today you will not find it in the field. 26 (F)Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will be [d]none.”
