Context — The Sabbath Observed
27Yet on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they did not find anything.
28Then the LORD said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep My commandments and instructions?
29Understand that the LORD has given you the Sabbath; that is why on the sixth day He will give you bread for two days. On the seventh day, everyone must stay where he is; no one may leave his place.”
30So the people rested on the seventh day. 31Now the house of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.Cross References

Exodus 16:29 Summary
This verse, Exodus 16:29, reminds us that God gives us the Sabbath as a gift, a day to rest and focus on Him. Just like the Israelites received extra bread on the sixth day so they wouldn't have to work on the seventh, we can trust God to provide for our needs and give us rest (as seen in Matthew 11:28-30). The Sabbath is a special day to stay at home, rest, and worship God, just like the people did in Exodus 16:30. By keeping the Sabbath, we can show our love and obedience to God, and find true rest in Him (Hebrews 4:9-11).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the Sabbath as mentioned in Exodus 16:29?
The Sabbath is a day of rest given by the Lord to His people, as seen in Exodus 16:29, and is a reminder of God's creation and redemption, as mentioned in Exodus 20:11 and Deuteronomy 5:15.
Why did the Lord provide bread for two days on the sixth day?
The Lord provided bread for two days on the sixth day so that the people would not have to work on the Sabbath, as stated in Exodus 16:29, and this is in line with the commandment to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy, as found in Exodus 20:8-11.
What does it mean to 'stay where he is' on the seventh day?
To 'stay where he is' on the seventh day means to rest and not go out to work or engage in regular activities, as the Lord commands in Exodus 16:29, and this is reinforced by the example of the people resting on the seventh day in Exodus 16:30.
How does this verse relate to the broader theme of God's provision and care?

Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I can apply the principle of resting on the Sabbath in my own life, and how can I prioritize rest and worship in my daily routine?
- How can I trust God to provide for my needs, just as He provided manna for the Israelites in the wilderness, and what are some areas where I need to trust Him more?
- What are some distractions or 'works' that I engage in on a regular basis that might be hindering my ability to truly rest and focus on God, and how can I set those things aside to prioritize my relationship with Him?
- How can I use the Sabbath as a day to recharge and refocus on my priorities, and what are some things I can do to make the most of this special day?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 16:29
See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Exodus 16:29
Hath given you the sabbath; hath given to you, and to your fathers, that great command and privilege of the sabbath. Let no man go out of his place, out of his house or tent, into the field to gather manna, as appears from the occasion and reason of the law here before mentioned. For otherwise they might and ought to go out of their houses to the public assemblies, as appears from ; and to lead their cattle to watering, ; or to help them out of a pit, ; and a sabbath day’ s journey was permitted, .
Trapp's Commentary on Exodus 16:29
Exodus 16:29 See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.Ver. 29. Hath given you the Sabbath.] And a great gift is was. Were it not for the weekly Sabbath we should all run wild. Abide ye every man in his place.] Sabbath, coming from Shabath, to cease or rest, hath some affinity with Jashabh, to sit still, and with Shabach, to worship and give praise; to show that this rest must be sanctified: for else it is but asinorum sabbatum, as one saith, the Sabbath of the ox and ass; for these also must rest.
Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 16:29
(29) Abide ye every man in his place.—Some Jews took this direction absolutely literally, and remained all the Sabbath Day in the position in which they found themselves at waking; but this slavish adherence to the letter was in general repudiated, and the command understood as having forbidden persons to leave the camp on the Sabbath. Hence the “Sabbath Day’s journey,” which was fixed at six stadia, because that was (traditionally) the extreme distance from the centre of the camp to its furthest boundary.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Exodus 16:29
Verse 29. Abide ye every man in his place] Neither go out to seek manna nor for any other purpose; rest at home and devote your time to religious exercises. Several of the Jews understood by place in the text, the camp, and have generally supposed that no man should go out of the place, i.e., the city, town, or village in which he resides, any farther than one thousand cubits, about an English mile, which also is called a Sabbath day's journey, Acts 1:12; and so many cubits they consider the space round the city that constitutes its suburbs, which they draw from Numbers 35:3-4. Some of the Jews have carried the rigorous observance of the letter of this law to such a length, that in whatever posture they find themselves on the Sabbath morning when they awake, they continue in the same during the day; or should they be up and happen to fall, they refuse even to rise till the Sabbath be ended! Mr. Stapleton tells a story of one Rabbi Solomon, who fell into a slough on the Jewish Sabbath, Saturday, and refused to be pulled out, giving his reason in the following Leonine couplet: - Sabbatha sancta colo De stereore surgere nolo. "Out of this slough I will not rise For holy Sabbath day I prize." The Christians, finding him thus disposed determined he should honour their Sabbath in the same place, and actually kept the poor man in the slough all Sunday, giving their reasons in nearly the same way: - Sabbatha nostra quidem, Solomon, celebrabis ibidem. "In the same slough, thou stubborn Jew, Our Sabbath day thou shalt spend too." This might have served to convince him of his folly, but certainly was not the likeliest way to convert him to Christianity. FABYAN, in his Chronicles, tells the following story of a case of this kind. "In this yere also (1259) fell that happe of the Iewe of Tewkysbury, which fell into a gonge upon the Satyrday, and wolde not for reverence of his sabbot day be pluckyd out; whereof heryng the Erle of Gloucetyr, that the Iewe dyd so great reverence to his sabbot daye, thought he wolde doo as moche unto his holy day, which was Sonday, and so kepte hym there tyll Monday, at whiche season he was foundyn dede." Then the earl of Gloucester murdered the poor man.
Cambridge Bible on Exodus 16:29
29. in his place] where he is: see in the Hebrews 10:23, Habakkuk 3:16 al. (Lex. 1065b 2a). His place in the following clause is in the Heb. quite different.
Barnes' Notes on Exodus 16:29
Abide ye every man in his place - The expression in Hebrew is unique and seems almost to enjoin a position of complete repose: “in his place” is literally under himself, as the Oriental sits with his legs drawn up under him.
