Exodus 16:5 Wrote:And it shall be on the sixth day that when they prepare what they will bring, it will be double of what they gather every day.
So just a technical question on the math... this means that if the Israelites collect X amount of bread per day, thus accumulating 6X on the 6th day, the Lord is saying He will double it (for 12X total) on day 6... correct?
Robert's response:
I do not experience the query that you have.
To me the wording clearly says that the amount provided for one weekday will be doubled on Friday; for they are not to go gathering on the Sabbath. Unlike other weekdays, on the Sabbath the extra amount will last two days - Friday and Saturday, instead of decaying by the end of one day.
