Exodus 16:23-30

WEB · Bible Passage

Bible Text

[23] He said to them, "This is that which Yahweh has spoken, 'Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to Yahweh. 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." [24] They laid it up until the morning, as Moses asked, and it didn't become foul, neither was there any worm in it. [25] Moses said, "Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to Yahweh. Today you shall not find it in the field. [26] Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none." [27] It happened on the seventh day, that some of the people went out to gather, and they found none. [28] Yahweh said to Moses, "How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws? [29] Behold, because Yahweh 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." [30] So the people rested on the seventh day.
