Exodus 16:32

GratitudeParents and children

30 So the people rested on the seventh day.

31 Now the house of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.

Moses said, “This is what the LORD has commanded: ‘Keep an omer of manna for the generations to come, so that they may see the bread I fed you in the wilderness when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”

33 So Moses told Aaron, “Take a jar and fill it with an omer of manna. Then place it before the LORD to be preserved for the generations to come.”

34 And Aaron placed it in front of the Testimony, to be preserved just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
