Manna and the Institution of the Sabbath

22

But on the sixth day they gathered twice as much, that is, two gomors every man: and all the rulers of the multitude came, and told Moses.

23

And he said to them: This is what the Lord hath spoken: To morrow is the rest of the sabbath sanctified to the Lord. Whatsoever work is to be done, do it; and the meats that are to be dressed, dress them; and whatsoever shall remain, lay it up until the morning.

24

And they did so as Moses had commanded, and it did not putrify, neither was there worm found in it.

25

And Moses said: Eat it to day, because it is the sabbath of the Lord: to day it shall not be found in the field.

26

Gather it six days; but on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord, therefore it shall not be found.

27

And the seventh day came; and some of the people going forth to gather, found none.

28

And the Lord said to Moses: How long will you refuse to keep my commandments, and my law?

29

See that the Lord hath given you the sabbath, and for this reason on the sixth day he giveth you a double provision: let each man stay at home, and let none go forth out of his place the seventh day.

30

And the people kept the sabbath on the seventh day.
