Summary

In Exodus 16:26, God instructs the Israelites not to gather manna on the Sabbath day, emphasizing the importance of rest and trust in His provision. This command reflects God's care for His people, ensuring they have time to rest and worship Him. By providing manna six days a week and none on the Sabbath, God teaches the Israelites to depend on Him daily for sustenance. This verse also foreshadows the spiritual rest found in Christ, who is our ultimate source of nourishment and rest for our souls.

Commentary

John Gill Bible Commentary

And it came to pass,.... Perhaps the next seventh day following: that there went out some of the people for to gather; to gather manna, as on other days; which they did not through want of provision or a greedy appetite, for they had bread every day, and on that day to the full, but to gratify their curiosity, or to see whether the words of Moses stood, as Aben Ezra expresses it, that is, whether what he said was true, or came to pass, that there should be none, and they should not be able to find any on that day, and so it was: and they found none; no manna; in the places where they used to find it in plenty on other days.
