Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

And they laid it up until the morning, as Moses bade,.... What was left of two omers a man, what they had neither baked nor boiled:
and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein, which was the case, when it was left or laid up on other days; and it showed that there was an interposition of divine Providence in the keeping of it to this day, and clearly confirmed it to be the will of God that this day should henceforward be to them the rest of the holy sabbath.
