18 И мјряли гоморомъ, и у того, кто собралъ много, не было лишняго, и у того, кто мало, не было недостатка. Каждый собралъ, сколъко ему съјсть.

8474. 'And no large number had more than enough and no few had less' means that the proportion was right for each in particular and in general. This is clear from the meaning of 'not having more than enough' and also 'not having less' as using the right amount; and from the meaning of 'large number' and 'few' as differences in capacity, dealt with above in 8472 (end), at this point according to each one's capacity in particular and in general.
