17. And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some much, some little.
18. And they measured with the omer: then he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little wanted nothing: they had gathered every man according to the measure of his eating.
19. And Moses said to them, Let no man leave any of it until the morning.
20. But they did not hearken to Moses; and some men left of it until the morning; then worms bred in it and it stank. And Moses was wroth with them.
21. And they gathered it every morning, every man as much as he could eat; and when the sun became hot, it melted.
22. And it came to pass on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one; and all the princes of the assembly came and told Moses.
23. And he said to them, This is what Jehovah has said: To-morrow is the rest, the holy sabbath, of Jehovah: bake what ye will bake, and cook what ye will cook; and lay up for yourselves all that remains over, to be kept for the morning.
24. And they laid it up for the morning, as Moses had commanded; and it did not stink, neither was there any worm in it.
25. And Moses said, Eat it to-day; for to-day is sabbath to Jehovah: to-day ye shall not find it in the field.
26. Six days shall ye gather it; but on the seventh day is sabbath: on it there shall be none.
