The New Life in Christ: I will test them, whether they will follow my instruction or not, the LORD said to Moses. Exodus 16:4.

Moses said to the Israelites, “It is the bread that the LORD has given you to eat…"

This is what the LORD has commanded: ‘Gather as much of it as each of you needs, an omer to a person according to the number of persons, all providing for those in their own tents.’

The Israelites did so, some gathering more, some less.

But when they measured it with an omer, those who gathered much had nothing over, and those who gathered little had no shortage; they gathered as much as each of them needed.

And Moses said to them, “Let no one leave any of it over until morning.” But they did not listen to Moses; some left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and became foul. And Moses was angry with them.

Morning by morning they gathered it, as much as each needed; but when the sun grew hot, it melted. Exodus 16:15-21. Amen.
