In the book of Exodus, the Israelites had recently escaped slavery in Egypt and were journeying through the desert, facing challenges like hunger and uncertainty. God miraculously provided manna, a bread-like substance, each morning as their daily food to sustain them and teach reliance on His provision. Moses gave this command to prevent hoarding, as any leftover manna would spoil by morning, underscoring the lesson of daily dependence on God.
