And Moses said to Aaron: Take a vessel, and put manna into it, as much as a gomor can hold; and lay it up before the Lord, to keep unto your generations,
וַיֹּ֨אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֜ה אֶֽל־אַהֲרֹ֗ן קַ֚ח צִנְצֶ֣נֶת אַחַ֔ת וְתֶן־שָׁ֥מָּה מְלֹֽא־הָעֹ֖מֶר מָ֑ן וְהַנַּ֤ח אֹתוֹ֙ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה לְמִשְׁמֶ֖רֶת לְדֹרֹתֵיכֶֽם׃
2 Church Fathers comment on this verse
The flock was nourished with manna to sustain it throughout the labor of childbirth. While the manna that the Hebrews stored for the following day became spoiled and infested with worms (Ex. 16:20), the manna provided to the flock throughout multiple deliveries remained unspoiled.
Cook notes that the term "vessel" employed here is unique to this context and has roots in Egyptian language. Bruges indicates that it signifies a sacrificial container or a metal basket.
