Exodus 16:18

"The children of Israel did so, and some gathered more, some less."

Key Reflection

This verse highlights the varied responses among the people of Israel to God's provision of manna. While some gathered just enough for their needs, others collected more out of abundance or caution, reflecting both faith and mistrust in God’s sufficiency.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Had nothing over -Whatever quantity each person had gathered, when he measured it in his tent, he found that he had just as many omers as he needed for the consumption of his family.
