Exodus 16:20 in Context — Exodus 16

18 On mesurait ensuite avec l’omer; celui qui avait ramassé plus n’avait rien de trop, et celui qui avait ramassé moins n’en manquait pas. Chacun ramassait ce qu’il fallait pour sa nourriture.

19 Moïse leur dit: Que personne n’en laisse jusqu’au matin.

20 Ils n’écoutèrent pas Moïse, et il y eut des gens qui en laissèrent jusqu’au matin; mais il s’y mit des vers, et cela devint infect. Moïse fut irrité contre ces gens.

21 Tous les matins, chacun ramassait ce qu’il fallait pour sa nourriture; et quand venait la chaleur du soleil, cela fondait.

22 Le sixième jour, ils ramassèrent une quantité double de nourriture, deux omers pour chacun. Tous les principaux de l’assemblée vinrent le rapporter à Moïse.
