Exodus 16:16-18

New Living Translation

¹⁶ These are the Lord’s instructions: Each household should gather as much as it needs. Pick up two quarts^[a] for each person in your tent.”

¹⁷ So the people of Israel did as they were told. Some gathered a lot, some only a little. ¹⁸ But when they measured it out,^[b] everyone had just enough. Those who gathered a lot had nothing left over, and those who gathered only a little had enough. Each family had just what it needed.
