Exodus 16:21 - Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

‘And they gathered it morning by morning, every man according to his eating, and when the sun grew hot it melted.'

Each morning they gathered an omer per person according to the number in each tent. And ‘when the sun grew hot it melted'. While this does not exclude ants as partly consuming it, it demonstrates that it was not mainly ants which disposed of it.
