This relationship highlights the importance of leadership and priesthood in guiding the people according to God's will.<p><b>Take a jar and fill it with an omer of manna</b><br>The omer was a unit of measure used by the Israelites, roughly equivalent to about 2 liters or 2 quarts.

The act of collecting manna in a jar signifies the importance of remembering God's sustenance and faithfulness.<p><b>Then place it before the LORD</b><br>Placing the jar before the LORD indicates a sacred act of dedication.
