2 There in the desert they complained to Moses and Aaron.
3 "The Lord should’ve killed us back in Egypt!" the Israelites told them. "At least there we could sit down beside stewpots of meat and eat bread until we were full. But you had to bring all of us out here in the desert to starve us all to death!"
15 When the Israelites saw it, they asked each another, "What is it?" because they had no idea what it was.
So Moses explained to them, "It’s the bread the Lord has provided for you to eat.
19 Then Moses said to them, "No one is to leave any of it until the morning." 20 But some didn’t listen to Moses. They did leave some of it until the morning, and it was full of maggots and smelled bad. Moses became angry with them.
22 However, on the sixth day, they collected twice as much of this food, two omers for each person. All the Israelite leaders came and told Moses what they had done. 23 Moses replied, "These are the Lord’s instructions: ‘Tomorrow is a special day of rest, a holy Sabbath to honor the Lord. So bake what you want, and boil what you want. Then put to one side what’s left and keep it until morning.’"
24 So they kept it until morning as Moses had ordered, and it didn’t smell bad or have any maggots.
