SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:22
¶ En el sexto día recogieron doblada comida, dos gomeres para cada uno; y todos los príncipes de la congregación vinieron a Moisés, y se lo hicieron saber.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 16:22
Verse 22. On the sixth day they gathered twice as much] This they did that they might have a provision for the Sabbath, for on that day no manna fell, ver. 26, 27. What a convincing miracle was this! No manna fell on the Sabbath! Had it been a natural production it would have fallen on the Sabbath as at other times; and had there not been a supernatural influence to keep it sweet and pure, it would have been corrupted on the Sabbath as well as on other days. By this series of miracles God showed his own power, presence, and goodness, 1. In sending the manna on each of the six days; 2. In sending none on the seventh, or Sabbath; 3. In preserving it from putrefaction when laid up for the use of that day, though it infallibly corrupted if kept over night on any other day.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-31 - Here is mention of a seventh-day sabbath. It was known, not only befor the giving of the law upon mount Sinai, but before the bringing of Israel out of Egypt, even from the beginning, Ge 2:3. The setting apar one day in seven for holy work, and, in order to that, for holy rest was ever since God created man upon the earth, and is the most ancien of the Divine laws. Appointing them to rest on the seventh day, he too care that they should be no losers by it; and none ever will be loser by serving God. On that day they were to fetch in enough for two days and to make it ready. This directs us to contrive family affairs, s that they may hinder us as little as possible in the work of the sabbath. Works of necessity are to be done on that day; but it is desirable to have as little as may be to do, that we may appl ourselves the more closely to prepare for the life that is to come When they kept manna against a command, it stank; when they kept it be a command, it was sweet and good; every thing is sanctified by the wor of God and prayer. On the seventh day God did not send the manna therefore they must not expect it, nor go out to gather. This showe that it was produced by miracle.
