This is what the Lord has commanded: “Gather as much of it as each person needs to eat. You may take two litres per individual, according to the number of people each of you has in his tent.” ’
When they measured it by litres, the person who gathered a lot had no surplus, and the person who gathered a little had no shortage. Each gathered as much as he needed to eat.
