Exodus 16:32

16:32 Moses said, “This is what ¹  the Lord has commanded: ‘Fill an omer with it to be kept ²  for generations to come, ³  so that they may see ⁴  the food I fed you in the desert when I brought you out from the land of Egypt.’”

Exodus 23:15

23:15 You are to observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread; seven days ⁵  you must eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you, at the appointed time of the month of Abib, for at that time ⁶  you came out of Egypt. No one may appear before ⁷  me empty-handed.

[16:32]  ¹ tn Heb “This is the thing that.”

[16:32]  ² tn Heb “for keeping.”

[16:32]  ³ tn Heb “according to your generations” (see Exod 12:14).

[16:32]  ⁴ tn In this construction after the particle expressing purpose or result, the imperfect tense has the nuance of final imperfect, equal to a subjunctive in the classical languages.

[23:15]  ⁵ tn This is an adverbial accusative of time.

[23:15]  ⁶ tn Heb “in it.”

[23:15]  ⁷ tn The verb is a Niphal imperfect; the nuance of permission works well here – no one is permitted to appear before God empty (Heb “and they will not appear before me empty”).
