16This is the word that Yahweh has commanded: ‘Gather from it, each man according to his eating; an omer per person, according to the number of your persons. Each man shall take for those who are in his tent.’

17And the sons of Israel did so, and they gathered, some more and some less.

18When they measured it by the omer, the one who gathered much had nothing left over, and the one who gathered little had no lack; each one gathered according to what he could eat.
