Exodus 16:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ “This is what the Lord commands: ‘Collect as much as each person can eat, an omer^[a] per person. Let every person take as much as needed for the people living with him, for as many as there are in his tent.’ ”

¹⁷ This is what the children of Israel did. Some collected quite a bit and others much less. ¹⁸ They measured it with the omer. Those who had collected more did not have too much, while those who collected less did not have too little. They had collected just as much as each person could eat.
