Shemot 16:20-31 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

20. Notwithstanding, they paid heed not unto Moshe; but some left part of it until boker, and [the leftovers] bred tola'im (worms), and stank; and Moshe was angry with them.

21. And they gathered it every boker, every man according to his eating [need]; and when the shemesh grew hot, it melted.

22. And it came to pass, that on yom hashishi they gathered twice as much lechem, two omers for one man; and all the nesi'im of the Edah came and told Moshe.

23. And he said unto them, This is that which Hashem hath said, Tomorrow is a Shabbaton (day of rest), Shabbos Kodesh unto Hashem; bake that which ye will bake today, and boil that ye will boil; and that which remaineth over lay up for you for mishmeret (for keeping) until boker.

24. And they laid it up, saving it until boker, as Moshe commanded; and it did not stink, neither was there any infestation therein.

25. And Moshe said, Eat that today; for today is a Shabbos unto Hashem; today ye shall not find it in the sadeh.

26. Sheshet yamim ye shall gather it; but on the yom hashevi'i, which is Shabbos, in it there shall be none.

27. And it came to pass, that there went out some from HaAm on the yom hashevi'i to gather, and they found none.

28. And Hashem said unto Moshe, How long refuse ye to be shomer over My mitzvot and My torot?

29. See, that Hashem hath given you the Shabbos, therefore He giveth you on yom hashishi lechem for two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out from his place on yom hashevi'i.

30. So HaAm rested on yom hashevi'i.

31. And Bais Yisroel called the shem thereof Manna; and it was like coriander seed, lavan (white); and the taste of it was like flat cakes fried in devash.
