And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.
And when they measured it with an omer, the person who gathered a lot didn't have any extra, and the person who gathered only a little didn't have too little; each person gathered exactly what they needed to eat.
God miraculously provided exactly what each person needed - no one had too much or too little of the manna he provided.
📚 Historical Context
In the book of Exodus, the Israelites were wandering in the desert after their escape from slavery in Egypt, facing hunger and uncertainty. God miraculously provided manna, a bread-like substance, as daily food to sustain them during their journey. When they measured the manna each person gathered, it turned out that everyone had exactly what they needed, with no surplus or shortage, emphasizing God's equitable provision.
