16 This is [a]what the Lord has commanded: ‘Everyone gather [b]as much as he will eat; you shall take [c](A)an omer apiece according to the number of people each of you has in his tent.’” 17 The sons of Israel did so, and some gathered much and some little. 18 When they measured it by the [d]omer, (B)the one who had gathered much did not have too much, and the one who had gathered little did not have too little; everyone gathered [e]as much as he would eat.
