Definitions for Exodus 16:20
Clarke's Exodus 16:20 Bible Commentary
It bred worms - Their sinful curiosity and covetousness led them to make the trial; and they had a mass of the most loathsome putrefaction for their pains. How gracious is God! He is continually rendering disobedience and sin irksome to the transgressor; that finding his evil ways to be unprofitable, he may return to his Maker, and trust in God alone.
Barnes's Exodus 16:20 Bible Commentary
It bred worms - This result was supernatural: no such tendency to rapid decomposition is recorded of common manna.
