Exodus 16:31 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 16:31

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.’ ”

33 And Moses said to Aaron, ^a“Take a pot and put an omer of manna in it, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your generations.”

34 As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up ^abefore the Testimony, to be kept.
