Exodus 16:20 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Some of them left of it till the morning Either distrusting God's providence, for a future supply, or out of curiosity to learn the nature of this manna, and what they might do if occasion required; it bred worms and stank Not so much of its own nature, which was pure and durable, as from God's judgment. Thus will that be corrupted in which we do not trust in God, and which we do not employ for his glory.

Exodus 16:20

20 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.
