Exodus 16:18-20
Christian Standard Bible
18 When they measured it by quarts,[a] the person who gathered a lot had no surplus, and the person who gathered a little had no shortage. Each gathered as much as he needed to eat.(A) 19 Moses said to them, “No one is to let any of it remain until morning.” 20 But they didn’t listen to Moses; some people left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and stank. Therefore Moses was angry with them.

18 And when they measured it by the omer, the one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little.(A) Everyone had gathered just as much as they needed.
19 Then Moses said to them, “No one is to keep any of it until morning.”(B)
20 However, some of them paid no attention to Moses; they kept part of it until morning, but it was full of maggots and began to smell.(C) So Moses was angry(D) with them.
