The concept of the Sabbath is rooted in the creation narrative, where God rested on the seventh day (<a href="/genesis/2-2.htm">Genesis 2:2-3</a>). It is a day set apart for rest and worship, signifying God's provision and sovereignty. The Sabbath is a covenant sign between God and Israel (<a href="/exodus/31-13.htm">Exodus 31:13</a>), emphasizing trust in God's provision. It foreshadows the rest found in Christ (<a href="/hebrews/4-9.htm">Hebrews 4:9-10</a>), who offers spiritual rest to believers.that is why on the sixth day He will give you bread for two days. This provision of manna for two days on the sixth day underscores God's miraculous provision and care for His people. It required faith and obedience from the Israelites, as they had to trust that the manna would not spoil overnight, unlike on other days (<a href="/exodus/16-20.htm">Exodus 16:20, 24</a>). This prefigures Christ as the Bread of Life (<a href="/john/6-35.htm">John 6:35</a>), who provides spiritual sustenance and fulfillment.On the seventh day, everyone must stay where he is; The command to remain in place on the Sabbath highlights the importance of rest and reflection. It was a time to cease from labor and focus on God, reinforcing the principle of dependence on Him. This practice distinguished Israel from surrounding nations and served as a reminder of their unique relationship with God.no one may leave his place.” This restriction ensured that the Sabbath was observed as a day of rest and not just another day of activity. It was a practical measure to prevent work and encourage contemplation and worship. The Sabbath rest is a type of the eternal rest promised to believers, pointing to the ultimate rest in God's presence (<a href="/revelation/14-13.htm">Revelation 14:13</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a> The chosen people of God, who were delivered from slavery in Egypt and are now journeying through the wilderness. 2. <a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a> The leader of the Israelites, who communicates God's laws and instructions to the people. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_wilderness_of_sin.htm">The Wilderness of Sin</a> The location where the Israelites are currently encamped and where God provides manna. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_sabbath.htm">The Sabbath</a> A day of rest instituted by God, signifying a covenant between Him and His people. 5. <a href="/topical/m/manna.htm">Manna</a> The miraculous bread from heaven provided by God to sustain the Israelites in the wilderness.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_gift_of_rest.htm">The Gift of Rest</a> The Sabbath is a divine gift, emphasizing the importance of rest and reliance on God's provision. <a href="/topical/o/obedience_to_god's_commands.htm">Obedience to God's Commands</a> Observing the Sabbath requires trust and obedience, reflecting our faith in God's instructions and His care for us. <a href="/topical/p/provision_and_trust.htm">Provision and Trust</a> God's provision of manna teaches us to trust Him for our daily needs and to recognize His sovereignty over our lives. <a href="/topical/c/community_and_worship.htm">Community and Worship</a> The Sabbath fosters community and worship, as it is a time set apart for focusing on God and His goodness. <a href="/topical/s/spiritual_rest_in_christ.htm">Spiritual Rest in Christ</a> The Sabbath points to the ultimate rest found in Jesus, encouraging believers to find peace and rest in Him.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_exodus_16.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Exodus 16</a> <a href="/q/what_is_the_bread_of_the_presence.htm">What is the Bread of the Presence?</a> <a href="/q/how_did_israelites_survive_without_bread.htm">(Deut 29:6) If the Israelites lacked basic provisions like bread and wine, how did they realistically survive in the harsh desert environment?</a> <a href="/q/why_do_many_worship_on_sunday,_not_sabbath.htm">Exodus 31:16-17 - If the Sabbath was meant as a permanent covenant sign 'forever,' why do so many believers worship on Sunday instead?</a> <a href="/q/how_does_science_explain_manna_as_'bread'.htm">How can Psalm 78:24's mention of manna as 'bread from heaven' be reconciled with scientific or archaeological data?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/exodus/16.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(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.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/exodus/16.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 29. - See, for that, etc. Rather, "See, that." Consider that God has given you the Sabbath, or the holy rest: and therefore it is that he gives you on the sixth day the food for two days - that the rest may not be interfered with. abide ye every man in his place. One Jewish sect, the Masbothei, took this command absolutely literally, and held that in whatsoever position a man was at the commencement of the Sabbath day, he was bound to retain it to the close. But generally it was held that the "place" intended was the camp, which the Israelites were forbidden to quit; and hence was derived the idea of the "sabbath day's journey," which was reckoned at six stadia - the supposed distance of the furthest bounds of the camp from its centre. <a href="/commentaries/exodus/16-29.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>Understand רְא֗וּ (rə·’ū) Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7200.htm">Strong's 7200: </a> To see that כִּֽי־ (kî-) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> A relative conjunction the LORD יְהוָה֮ (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel has given נָתַ֣ן (nā·ṯan) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5414.htm">Strong's 5414: </a> To give, put, set you the Sabbath; הַשַּׁבָּת֒ (haš·šab·bāṯ) Article | Noun - common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7676.htm">Strong's 7676: </a> Intermission, the Sabbath therefore עַל־ (‘al-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against on the sixth הַשִּׁשִּׁ֖י (haš·šiš·šî) Article | Number - ordinal masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8345.htm">Strong's 8345: </a> Sixth, ord, fractional day בַּיּ֥וֹם (bay·yō·wm) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3117.htm">Strong's 3117: </a> A day He ה֣וּא (hū) Pronoun - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1931.htm">Strong's 1931: </a> He, self, the same, this, that, as, are will give נֹתֵ֥ן (nō·ṯên) Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5414.htm">Strong's 5414: </a> To give, put, set you לָכֶ֛ם (lā·ḵem) Preposition | second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/.htm">Strong's Hebrew</a> bread לֶ֣חֶם (le·ḥem) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3899.htm">Strong's 3899: </a> Food, bread, grain for two days. יוֹמָ֑יִם (yō·w·mā·yim) Noun - md <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3117.htm">Strong's 3117: </a> A day On the seventh הַשְּׁבִיעִֽי׃ (haš·šə·ḇî·‘î) Article | Number - ordinal masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7637.htm">Strong's 7637: </a> Seventh (an ordinal number) day, בַּיּ֥וֹם (bay·yō·wm) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3117.htm">Strong's 3117: </a> A day everyone אִ֣ישׁ (’îš) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_376.htm">Strong's 376: </a> A man as an individual, a male person must stay שְׁב֣וּ ׀ (šə·ḇū) Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3427.htm">Strong's 3427: </a> To sit down, to dwell, to remain, to settle, to marry where he is; תַּחְתָּ֗יו (taḥ·tāw) Preposition | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8478.htm">Strong's 8478: </a> The bottom, below, in lieu of no אַל־ (’al-) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_408.htm">Strong's 408: </a> Not one אִ֛ישׁ (’îš) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_376.htm">Strong's 376: </a> A man as an individual, a male person may leave יֵ֥צֵא (yê·ṣê) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3318.htm">Strong's 3318: </a> To go, bring, out, direct and proxim his place.? מִמְּקֹמ֖וֹ (mim·mə·qō·mōw) Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4725.htm">Strong's 4725: </a> A standing, a spot, a condition <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/exodus/16-29.htm">Exodus 16:29 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/exodus/16-29.htm">Exodus 16:29 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/exodus/16-29.htm">Exodus 16:29 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/exodus/16-29.htm">Exodus 16:29 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/exodus/16-29.htm">Exodus 16:29 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/exodus/16-29.htm">Exodus 16:29 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/exodus/16-29.htm">Exodus 16:29 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/exodus/16-29.htm">Exodus 16:29 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/exodus/16-29.htm">Exodus 16:29 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/exodus/16-29.htm">Exodus 16:29 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/exodus/16-29.htm">OT Law: Exodus 16:29 Behold because Yahweh has given you (Exo.
