¹⁶ This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Everyone is to gather as much as they need. Take an omer^[a](A) for each person you have in your tent.’”

³⁶ (An omer^(A) is one-tenth of an ephah.)^(B)

¹⁸ And when they measured it by the omer, the one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little.^(A) Everyone had gathered just as much as they needed.

³² Moses said, “This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Take an omer of manna and keep it for the generations to come, so they can see the bread I gave you to eat in the wilderness when I brought you out of Egypt.’”

³³ So Moses said to Aaron, “Take a jar and put an omer of manna^(A) in it. Then place it before the Lord to be kept for the generations to come.”
