8476. Verses 19-20 And Moses said to them, Let no one leave any of it 1 until the morning. And they did not hear 2 Moses, and some did leave part of it 3 until the morning;, and it bred worms and became putrid. And Moses was incensed with them.

'And Moses said to them' means an admonition. 'Let no one leave any of it until the morning' means that they must not be anxious to acquire it of themselves. 'And they did not hear Moses' means lack of faith and consequently lack of obedience. 'And some did leave part of it until the morning' means the abuse of God's goodness, in that they wished to obtain it of themselves. 'And it bred worms' means that it was consequently something foul. 'And became putrid' means consequently something hellish. 'And Moses was incensed with them' means that therefore they were averse to God's truth.
