Exodus 16:27

Verse 27 of 36. The 16th of 40 chapters in Exodus, in The Law.

23He said to them, “This is that which the LORD has spoken, ‘Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. Bake that which you want to bake, and boil that which you want to boil; and all that remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning.’”

24They laid it up until the morning, as Moses ordered, and it didn’t become foul, and there were no worms in it.

25Moses said, “Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to the LORD. Today you shall not find it in the field.

26Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none.”

27On the seventh day, some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.

28The LORD said to Moses, “How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?

29Behold, because the LORD has given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days. Everyone stay in his place. Let no one go out of his place on the seventh day.”

30So the people rested on the seventh day.

31The house of Israel called its name “Manna”, and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey.
