His role as a mediator between God and the Israelites is central throughout the Exodus narrative. This phrase highlights Moses' authority and responsibility to convey divine commands. In the broader biblical context, Moses is a type of Christ, who also serves as a mediator between God and humanity (<a href="/hebrews/3.htm">Hebrews 3:1-6</a>).<p><b>“No one may keep any of it</b><br>The instruction not to keep the manna until morning underscores the need for daily dependence on God. This command teaches the Israelites to trust in God's provision each day, reflecting the principle found in the Lord's Prayer, "Give us this day our daily bread" (<a href="/matthew/6-11.htm">Matthew 6:11</a>). It also foreshadows the teaching of Jesus in <a href="/john/6-31.htm">John 6:31-35</a>, where He identifies Himself as the true bread from heaven, emphasizing reliance on Him for spiritual sustenance.<p><b>until morning.”</b><br>The prohibition against keeping manna overnight serves as a test of obedience and faith. It also prevents hoarding and ensures equality among the community, as each person gathers only what they need for the day. This daily provision mirrors the concept of God's mercies being new every morning (<a href="/lamentations/3-22.htm">Lamentations 3:22-23</a>). The spoilage of manna when kept overnight (<a href="/exodus/16-20.htm">Exodus 16:20</a>) symbolizes the futility of relying on human efforts rather than divine provision.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, chosen by God to lead His people out of Egypt.
