Exodus 16:16-21

Living Bible

¹⁶ Jehovah has said for everyone to gather as much as is needed for his household—about two quarts^[a] for each person.”

¹⁷ So the people of Israel went out and gathered it—some getting more and some less before it melted on the ground, ¹⁸ and there was just enough for everyone. Those who gathered more had nothing left over and those who gathered little had no lack! Each home had just enough.

¹⁹ And Moses told them, “Don’t leave it overnight.”

²⁰ But of course some of them wouldn’t listen, and left it until morning; and when they looked, it was full of maggots and had a terrible odor; and Moses was very angry with them. ²¹ So they gathered the food morning by morning, each home according to its need; and when the sun became hot upon the ground, the food melted and disappeared.
