22 On the sixth day, they gathered twice(A) as much—two omers[a] for each person—and the leaders of the community(B) came and reported this to Moses. 23 He said to them, “This is what the Lord commanded: ‘Tomorrow is to be a day of sabbath rest, a holy sabbath(C) to the Lord. So bake what you want to bake and boil what you want to boil. Save whatever is left and keep it until morning.’”

24 So they saved it until morning, as Moses commanded, and it did not stink or get maggots in it. 25 “Eat it today,” Moses said, “because today is a sabbath to the Lord. You will not find any of it on the ground today. 26 Six days you are to gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath,(D) there will not be any.”

Everyone is to stay where they are on the seventh day; no one is to go out.” 30 So the people rested on the seventh day.

    and from doing as you please on my holy day,
if you call the Sabbath a delight(B)
    and the Lord’s holy day honorable,
and if you honor it by not going your own way
