(Exodus 16:16) "This is the thing that the L–rd has commanded. Gather of it, each man, etc.": They said: Now Nachshon ben Aminadav and his household will go out and will gather a lot, and an Israelite pauper will go out and gather little. And when they came to measure it (Ibid. 17) "and they gathered it, some taking more than an omer (for a head), some less," (Ibid. 18) "when they measured it in the omer" (vessel), (they found that) "he who had taken more did not exceed (the omer measure), and he who had taken less, did not diminish." "and they measured it in the omer … each according to his eating had they gathered": From here they derived that one who ate according to the omer measure remained healthy and nourished; one who took less suffered intestinal disorder.
