Exodus 16:24 - Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

‘And they laid it up until the morning as Moses ordered them, and it did not smell nor was there any worm in it.'

When they laid up Manna for the seventh day it did not go bad. It may be that it had been cooked on the previous day and that that prevented this. (Cooking was certainly later forbidden on the Sabbath - Exodus 35:3).
