📚 Historical Context
In the book of Exodus, the Israelites were wandering in the desert after their escape from Egypt, and God miraculously provided manna as food each morning to sustain them. He commanded them to gather double portions on the sixth day so they could rest fully on the seventh day, the Sabbath, without working to collect more. When some people disobeyed and went out to gather on that day, they found no manna, illustrating the consequences of ignoring God's instructions.
