The Pulpit Commentary on Exodus 16:30

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

So the people rested. Having found by experience that nothing was to be gained by seeking manna on the sabbath, and received the severe rebuke of Exodus 16:28, the people henceforth obeyed the new commandment, and "rested on the sabbath day." Of the nature of the "rest" intended more will be said in the comment on Exodus 20:8-11.
