This verse in Exodus 16
Commentary
7 notes on this verseLet no man leave of it till the morning - For God would have them to take no thought for the morrow, and constantly to depend on him for their dally bread. And is not that petition in our Lord’s prayer founded on this very circumstance, Give us day by day our daily bread?

Let no man leave of it
on Exodus 16:19-20
The one rule attached to the bread is that it cannot be stored, so a people anxious about tomorrow are handed exactly one day at a time. Some keep it back anyway and it breeds worms and stinks, which is the first recorded disobedience after the sea. Moses was wroth with them, and the text records nothing further done about it.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening4 voices
Never was there such a market of provisions as this, where so many hundred thousand men were daily furnished without money, and without price: never was there such an open house kept as God kept in the wilderness for 40 years together, nor such free and plentiful entertainment given.
The glory of the Lord - An extra-ordinary and sudden brightness. And ye shall know that I am the Lord your God - This gave proof of his power as the Lord, and his particular favour to them as their God; when God plagued the Egyptians, it was to make them know that he is the Lord; when he provided for the Israelites, it was to make them know that he was their God.
And Moses said unto them,....
The manna that was laid up by some (who thought themselves wiser and better managers than their neighbours, and who would provide in case it should fail next day), putrefied, and bred worms, and became good for nothing. Note, That proves to be most wasted which is covetously and distrustfully spared. Those riches are corrupted, James

Though it may be exhaled by the heat and afterwards fall with the dew, it is a medicine, not food--it is well known to the natives of the desert, while the Israelites were strangers to theirs; and in taste as well as in the appearance of double quantity on Friday, none on Sabbath, and in not breeding worms, it is essentially different from the manna furnished to the Israelites.
