Exodus 16:16-18

International Standard Version

¹⁶ This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘You are to gather from it what each person is to eat,^[a] about one omer^[b] per person according to the number of your people, and one person is to gather for everyone in his tent.’”

¹⁷ The Israelis did this, some gathering much, some little. ¹⁸ When they measured it with a vessel the capacity of which was one omer,^[c] the one who gathered much did not have an excess, while the one who gathered little did not lack. They gathered exactly what each needed to eat.^[d]
