Compare all
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.  
35 And the children of Israel aate manna bforty years, cuntil they came to an inhabited land; they ate manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan.  
36 Now an omer is one-tenth of an ephah.

Exodus 16:34

Laid it up before the testimony - The eduth or testimony belonged properly to the tabernacle, but that was not yet built. Some are of opinion that the tabernacle, built under the direction of Moses, was only a renewal of one that had existed in the patriarchal times. See Clarke' s note on Exodus 16:9. The word signifies reference to something beyond itself; thus the tabernacle, the manna, the tables of stone, Aaron' s rod, etc., all bore reference and testimony to that spiritual good which was yet to come, viz., Jesus Christ and his salvation.
