28. Then the Lord said to Moses, “How long will you people refuse to obey my commands and teachings?
29. Look, the Lord has made the Sabbath a day of rest for you. So on Friday he will give you enough food for two days. Then, on the Sabbath, each of you should sit down and relax. Stay where you are.”
30. So the people rested on the Sabbath.
31. The people called the special food “manna.” It was like small white coriander seeds and tasted like thin cakes made with honey.
32. Moses told the people what the Lord said: “Save a basket of this food for your descendants. Then they can see the food that I gave to you in the desert when I took you out of Egypt.”
33. So Moses told Aaron, “Take a jar and fill it with a full basket of manna. Save this manna to put before the Lord. Save it for our descendants.”
34. (Aaron did what the Lord had commanded Moses. Aaron put the jar of manna in front of the Box of the Agreement.)
35. The people ate the manna for 40 years, until they came to the land of rest, that is, until they came to the edge of the land of Canaan.
