For the purpose of giving man REST on the 7th day.Exodus 16:29 See THE CONTEXT, THE CIRCUMSTANCE, THE EVENT, because/for that the LORD (TODAY) on the Sixth Day GIVES (Present Tense) you BREAD (the thing "given", the) BREAD-OF/FOR-two-days."
It is not the Sabbath which God <gave> AT THIS OCCASION.
God at this place and time gave the people BREAD in the desert according to their needs "FOR/OF TWO days".
God gave man bread/manna for 2 days they would gather twice as much on the 6th day, for the purpose of not working by gathering on the 7th day.
God provides for us.. already prepared for us, bread/life for the 7th day/Sabbath/Eternity.
God gave man the Sabbath to rest in with Him.
NLT: They must realize that the Sabbath is the LORD’s gift to you. That is why he gives you a two-day supply on the sixth day, so there will be enough for two days. On the Sabbath day you must each stay in your place. Do not go out to pick up food on the seventh day.”
What part of the Sabbath being the Lord's gift to man, do you not understand?
or even for man to do with it what man might think is better for him.
I totally agree with this part.
It's not a gift given to do our will.
It is a gift for us to do His will.
To rest in it, in Him.
Your just argumentative and I don't find it attractive.
And yet we all have to suck on gall at one time or another,
it's part of the growing process.
Doesn't mean I have to like it.
