Context — The Sabbath Observed
28Then the LORD said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep My commandments and instructions?
29Understand that the LORD has given you the Sabbath; that is why on the sixth day He will give you bread for two days. On the seventh day, everyone must stay where he is; no one may leave his place.”
30So the people rested on the seventh day.
31Now the house of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey. 32Moses said, “This is what the LORD has commanded: ‘Keep an omer of manna for the generations to come, so that they may see the bread I fed you in the wilderness when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”Cross References

Exodus 16:30 Summary
This verse, Exodus 16:30, tells us that the people rested on the seventh day, just as God had commanded. This was a sign of their trust in God's provision, as He had promised to provide for them even on the day of rest (Exodus 16:29). By resting on the seventh day, the people were able to recharge and refocus on their relationship with God, just as we can do today by prioritizing rest and worship (Hebrews 4:9-11). By trusting in God's sovereignty and provision, we can find true rest and peace, just as the Israelites did on their seventh day of rest.
