Exodus 16:17

16:17 The Israelites did so, and they gathered – some more, some less.

Exodus 16:21

16:21 So they gathered it each morning, ¹  each person according to what he could eat, and when the sun got hot, it would melt. ² 

[16:21]  ¹ tn Heb “morning by morning.” This is an example of the repetition of words to express the distributive sense; here the meaning is “every morning” (see GKC 388 §121.c).

[16:21]  ² tn The perfect tenses here with vav (ו) consecutives have the frequentative sense; they function in a protasis-apodosis relationship (GKC 494 §159.g).
