21 They gathered it morning by morning, everyone [a]as much as he would eat; but when the sun became hot, it would melt.

The Sabbath

22 (A)Now on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, [b]two omers for each one. When all the (B)leaders of the congregation came and told Moses, 23 then he said to them, “This is what the Lord [c]meant: (C)Tomorrow is a Sabbath observance, a holy Sabbath to the Lord. Bake what you will bake and boil what you will boil, and (D)all that is left over [d]put aside to be kept until morning.”
