Bible verse
On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much food—two omers per person—and all the leaders of the congregation came and reported this to Moses.
Exodus 16:22 · BSB
The verses around it, from Exodus 16.
18 When they measured it by the omer, he who gathered much had no excess, and he who gathered little had no shortfall. Each one gathered as much as he needed to eat.
19 Then Moses said to them, “No one may keep any of it until morning.”
20 But they did not listen to Moses; some people left part of it until morning, and it became infested with maggots and began to smell. So Moses was angry with them.
21 Every morning each one gathered as much as was needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away.
22 On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much food—two omers per person—and all the leaders of the congregation came and reported this to Moses.
23 He told them, “This is what the LORD has said: ‘Tomorrow is to be a day of complete rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. So bake what you want to bake, and boil what you want to boil. Then set aside whatever remains and keep it until morning.’”
24 So they set it aside until morning as Moses had commanded, and it did not smell or contain any maggots.
25 “Eat it today,” Moses said, “because today is a Sabbath to the LORD. Today you will not find anything in the field.
26 For six days you may gather, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, it will not be there.”
