24 So they laid it up till morning, as Moses commanded; and it did not astink, nor were there any worms in it.  
25 Then Moses said, “Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to the Lord; today you will not find it in the field.
26 aSix days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will be none.”  
27 Now it happened that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, but they found none.
28 And the Lord said to Moses, “How long ado you refuse to keep My commandments and My laws?  
29 See! For the Lord has given you the Sabbath; therefore He gives you on the sixth day bread for two days. Let every man remain in his place; let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.”
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
31 And the house of Israel called its name1 Manna. And ait was like white coriander seed, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.  
32 Then Moses said, “This is the thing which the Lord has commanded: ‘Fill an omer with it, to be kept for your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’ ”
