Context — Manna and Quail from Heaven
17So the Israelites did this. Some gathered more, and some less.
18When they measured it by the omer, he who gathered much had no excess, and he who gathered little had no shortfall. Each one gathered as much as he needed to eat.
19Then Moses said to them, “No one may keep any of it until morning.”
20But they did not listen to Moses; some people left part of it until morning, and it became infested with maggots and began to smell. So Moses was angry with them. 21Every morning each one gathered as much as was needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away.Cross References

Exodus 16:19 Summary
This verse means that God wants us to trust in His daily provision and not try to store up or keep things for ourselves. Moses told the Israelites not to keep any of the manna until morning, because God would provide for them again the next day, as seen in Exodus 16:4. This teaches us to seek God daily for our needs and to trust in His timing, rather than trying to control or manipulate our circumstances (Matthew 6:11, Psalm 37:3-7). By trusting in God's daily provision, we can learn to be content with what we have and to seek Him first in all things.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Moses instruct the Israelites not to keep any of the manna until morning?
Moses instructed the Israelites not to keep any of the manna until morning because God wanted them to trust in His daily provision, as seen in Exodus 16:4, where God says He will rain down bread from heaven for them to eat, and also to avoid the manna becoming infested with maggots and smelling, as happened in Exodus 16:20.
What would happen if the Israelites kept the manna until morning?
If the Israelites kept the manna until morning, it would become infested with maggots and begin to smell, as stated in Exodus 16:20, which is what happened when some of them disobeyed Moses' instruction.
Is this verse relevant to our lives today?
Yes, this verse is still relevant today, as it teaches us to trust in God's daily provision and not to try to store up or rely on our own resources, but to seek Him daily for our needs, as Jesus teaches in Matthew 6:11 to ask for daily bread.
How does this verse relate to the concept of faith and trust in God?
This verse relates to the concept of faith and trust in God because it shows that God wants us to trust in His provision and timing, rather than trying to control or manipulate our circumstances, which is a key theme in the Bible, such as in Psalm 37:3-7 and Proverbs 3:5-6.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I am trying to store up or rely on my own resources, rather than trusting in God's daily provision?
- How can I apply the principle of trusting in God's daily provision to my own life, and what steps can I take to seek Him daily for my needs?
- What are some ways that I can cultivate a deeper trust in God's timing and provision, and how can I avoid trying to control or manipulate my circumstances?
- How does this verse relate to the concept of contentment and being satisfied with what God has provided, as discussed in 1 Timothy 6:6-10?
Gill's Exposition on Exodus 16:19
And Moses said unto them,.... At the same time he gave the direction to them about gathering it, and measuring out to every man an omer: let no man leave of it until the morning; not that every man
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 16:19
And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Exodus 16:19
viz. For the provision of the next day, as distrusting God’ s care and goodness in giving them more. Not that every one was bound to eat all of it, which certainly many of their stomachs could not bear; but that they were to dissolve it, or but it, as they did the remains of some sacrifices, 29:34, or consume it some other way.
Trapp's Commentary on Exodus 16:19
Exodus 16:19 And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.Ver. 19. Let no man leave of it, &c.] It was to be gathered in the morning, and not kept till the morrow. "I made haste and delayed not," saith David.
Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 16:19
(19) Let no man leave of it.—Moses must have been divinely instructed to issue this command. It was doubtless given in order that the Israelites might realise their absolute dependence upon God for food from day to day, and might so be habituated to complete trust and confidence in Him.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Exodus 16:19
Verse 19. Let no man leave of it till the morning.] For God would have them to take no thought for the morrow, and constantly to depend on him for their dally bread. And is not that petition in our Lord's prayer founded on this very circumstance, Give us day by day our daily bread?
Cambridge Bible on Exodus 16:19
19, 20. None to be left over till the morning. The manna was to be the daily food of the Israelites in the wilderness, and so to be eaten fresh every day. In the East, it is the custom to bake bread daily, and yesterday’s bread is not eaten.
Whedon's Commentary on Exodus 16:19
16-21. An omer for every man — The amount of the omer at this time is one of the unsettled questions, which may be found fully discussed in Smith’s Dictionary, Art. Weights and Measures.
