Exodus 16:36 belongs to the wilderness account of God feeding Israel with manna, the angels' food. That heavenly food was eaten by Israel yet did not satisfy them. The same account carries the instruction that they must keep the Sabbath.
The providing of that food was part of God's all-embracing education of Israel. All habits of life and everything concerning well-being were subject to divine care and came under divine law. In giving the manna God sought Israel's highest good. The manna was by nature suited to promote physical, mental, and moral strength. Despite the hardships of wilderness life, there was not a feeble one in all their tribes.
