27Yet it came about on the seventh day that some of the people went out to gather, but they found none. 28Then the Lord said to Moses, “How long do you refuse to keep My commandments and My instructions? 29See, the Lord has given you the Sabbath; for that reason He gives you bread for two days on the sixth day.
